1.18 Oceans discussion

Spent some time genning some terrain and thought I'd share it.

(%landcover% / %landcoverscale% - Map dimensions):

If anyone has some more maps or interesting settings post them here.

I think the old system in rc.2 produced better, more consistent results. That's where you'd select:

- No oceans

- Very large lakes

- Continental

- Island Worlds

30/150 looks promising but I've yet to find anything viable for a playthrough. Its either a unending landmass with jagged noisy island or thousands of tiny lakes. I'm not sure if that's a bug or intended. I found a nice world in rc2 but the the new chunks are generate as a continuous continent...

I'm very confused by this new system. I think I also would have preferred just choosing from those 4 options as Rufkut mentioned. Right now I tried making a few worlds with 0% Land Cover and 400% Land Cover scale and it doesn't even seem to generate any oceans at all? It looks like a normal map with tiny lakes and mostly land still.

It appears on multiplayer servers the WorldConfig object in the serverconfig.json file entirely ignores these settings too...

Is that file what controls the default terrain generation parameters.

I've generated some maps for comparison and thought I might as well post them here.

Version 1.18.5, 100kmx100km world. Worldgen mods are Better Ruins and Th3Dungeons. The file name format is landcover-landcoverscale-upheavalrate-landformscale.

Hi, I have a server already running with folks playing on it.  We want oceans and boats.  Is it too late to change our world gen to allow oceans to form? We're fine with some terrain jank between the old and new, just want to know how to do it.

Did you ever figure this out? I got a server with a map most of the players like. I don't think oceans can be generated after initial world gen.  At least I haven't found that option. I plan on just using World Edit tools to turn a section of the map into an ocean and possibly build a single river to divide the single land mass.
