You should make a text with the characteristics of each biome, it whould help a lot new players to learn.

This mod is for "biomes", not the setpieces, as there are other mods that already add setpieces, like Setpiece Config

thought it included setpieces, cause triple mactusk is a setpiece, and in your description, triple mactusk is included.

In this mod I only change the “chance” of already existing biomes to generate in a world. These biomes may include “set pieces” that spawn with them. Set pieces do not change the land/turf beneath them; they are limited to spawning on certain types depending on the set piece. Biomes on the other hand change the land/turf to what is defined for the biome, and determine what spawns on them, which may include spawning certain “landmarks” like a triple mactusk, oasis pond, pig king, glommer, etc. In the “Triple MacTusk” biome case, it will always generate a Savannah, Rocky, and Grass turf area with a Walrus Camp in each turf area (game default, I don’t change any biomes).

This is more a question. Does this mod work with Dedicated Server?

Yes, it should function like other server mods on a dedicated server. Just make sure it is configured as desired in the modoverrides.lua of the dedicated server shard folder.

That's weird, some of the biomes that I have disabled still shows up and I'm pretty sure "Force Biome" is in my Server.

Do you need to see my log and world?
heoheo00911 23 Nov, 2021 @ 4:58pm 
Maybe because I have mods that put caves biomes onto the surface?

Yes. Post the surface/caves server log from world generation to pastebin[pastebin.com] and I'll try to find out.

That might be the problem.

I took a look at the code to understand the compartment rooms of the biome better and it seems like there are some differences compares to the list of optional biomes of the mod.
Cave: The mod does not have the biome "SoggySinkhole".
Ruin: "CaveJungle" and "MilitaryPits" are not listed as optional biomes in the code (instead we have "AtriumMaze" and "ArchiveMaze" which is weird since I would assume they be guaranteed)

I could be wrong so I would love to have your comment on this. Either way thank you so much for the mod!

My mod just controls which "optional biomes" are chosen; it doesn't add additional rooms/task (like "SoggySinkhole") or alter default ones (like "AtriumMaze" and "ArchiveMaze").

The optional tasks that this mod controls are listed in the game file "scripts\map\tasksets\forest.lua", in the "default" taskset under the "optionaltasks" table. And for the caves, "scripts\map\tasksets\caves.lua" game file, "cave_default" taskset, then under the table "optionaltasks" table again.

"SoggySinkhole" is a task in code that is never referenced to be added into vanilla world generation.
"CaveJungle" and "MilitaryPits" both show up in the optional tasks in "cave_default" taskset.
"AtriumMaze" and "ArchiveMaze" are both already guaranteed to spawn since they are in the "tasks" table inside the "cave_default" taskset.

Hope that helps, but maybe I overlooked something.
