Advanced world gen Parameters
« on: January 31, 2012, 05:29:49 am »

Are there any settings you would reccomend changing?, I usually just hit the "Large region" button and see how it goes, If it doesnt look like a good result, I gen a new world.

Also: Would you reccomend increasing the amount of megabeasts that survive worldgen?

The only things that I really like different from the default is to make all caves visible:1, reveal all history:1, lowering the year limit for world gen down to 250ish, and sometimes I like to disable the population cap limit. You can also mess with the cavern openness/density/water to get caverns that are more to your liking.

I always set mineral scarcity down to its lowest possible value, and up the volcano number to three or so.

up the volcano, lower mineral scarcity, more titans and megabeasts and add a few more layers before breaching the first cavern. History set to 200 or 300, no pop cap or site cap. Some other minor adjustments

100000 demons, 10000 megabeasts, 10000 semi-megabeasts and 10000 night creatures.

Job done.

And yep. I would wholeheartedly recommend you do this.

I always drop the cavern number to 2. It helps conserve FPS, but you still get access to the whole underground fauna and flora.

Intresting tips guys.

I have never dug deep enough to encounter the lava sea, And i have only embarked on a volcano once, So i may Up volcano count, and increase the megabeast survivability [But not as much as Loud Whispers reccomends, i dont seek armageddon :P]
