I gave the list a much needed update, it now lists nearly every change IA has received in its lifetime.

This already exists in the mod. Flooding happens in Monsoon (the Spring equivalent, not Winter).

I really wanted a world-gen option that contains SW and DST continent together. I just read this and seems you guys made a "Merged" Preset but now removed. Can we have this option back in the near future?
Amazing stuff you guys have done btw. Really appreciate your work.

We appreciate the kind words!
Sadly we are not planning on reintroducing the Merged preset, as we have since removed the code necessary to split the world into DST and SW seasons by climate.
You're still encouraged to try out dedicated servers capable of hosting all 4 worlds separately; Forest, Caves, SW, and Volcano. We have templates for these kind of servers on our Discord.

Idk if this is in the mod or not but it would be nice if there was some kind of way to get coffee plants without going to the volcano. (via treasure etc.)

The only other way to get coffee bushes is via enabling the "Volcanic Island" world setting when making a new world. This will generate a large island in the same world as SW with all the necessary Volcano content.

This is mainly an option so you don't have to run the Volcano as a separate shard, better for lower-end PCs.

The main post has been updated to show all new features from the 1.0.0 update. :DSTtophat:
