Yeah, custom biomes are pretty much a requirement. Also, a few biomes where cavern and ocean crossed would be really cool.

The thing is, I want the mod to be as compatible with other mods as possible. I'm not ruling anything out, still researching.

Then your other option may be different dimensions.  I don't think there's a lot you can do, sadly.  If you want to change the world, you've got to change the world.

Honestly I think ~100+ blocks of subsurface is enough for most of what we'd be doing anyway, but I will keep exploring options.

Sample texture for tower cap:

Keep in mind you'll be seeing these in dark caves and they may glow slightly. Also this isn't the final shape of the mushroom.

More detail has been added to the stem since this pic, but it shows you the planks

I think the gills/external could do with being made a smidge darker.

I like the rest, though.

Like I said, keep in mind that you'll be seeing it in dark caves so it won't look quite so bright. We may still adjust it a bit but for now I'm happy with it.

I was originally asked to make them pale and white as in DF but ended up making them more off-white. I'm happy to tweak things further. I really need a decent open cave world to test things in.

A result of some trickery:

Hope you don't mind me posting that forsaken.

[forsaken1111]

I don't mind at all.

Also: That looks fantastic!

I like the goblin cap, although I think it could do with being a bit more vibrant and bright.

[Girlinhat]

Yeah, brighter fungus is best fungus.  I want to break through the roof of the cave and be in awe as I look down at the neon forest below.

   Just going to put in that I remember in one of Direwolfs server play videos that the guy in charge of Mystcraft mentioned he already had code for dealing with sealevel in his mod and just hasn't used it. Maybe give him a poke and see if he has any tips for you.

Haven't looked in this thread in awhile. Someone want to give me a quick recap (if you want).

[Girlinhat]

TL;DR - All servers are pretty much down.  Forsaken is undertaking an underground mod, which will hopefully not be named *Craft.

It shall be named "Pseudo Generic Dwarf Fortress Mod That Doesn't Go Into Quite As Much Detail As TFCraft Meaning It's Not Rendered Pointless Playing It In Single Player"
Or PGDFMTDGIQAMATFCMINRPPIISP!

Try saying that with a lisp

Suggestions on a name?
