Custom world options / modifying world gen

[Feone Varen]

The surface deposit frequences appear to always override customized worldgen if you customize your world using the ingame options after modifying the json files. Would be nice to have the options to use a subset of the customization options like some of the presets.

Slightly related, is there a way to create custom presets? (Survive and Build, Explore etc)

Eh, yea that's a bit tricky with the whole modding thing. I can think of 2 workarounds to fix that:

- Delete the file assets/survival/patches/surfacecopper.json
or
- Create a mod from your modified json files using the ModMaker3000 tool, then add to your modinfo that it depends on the survival mod. This way your mod also patches the copper deposit file, after the vanilla game has patched it, hence your change takes precedence

Yes that should work. In modinfo.json you should be able to add something like this:

{
  description: ...
  authors: .... 
  (your other modinfo.json stuff here),
  worldConfig: {
    playstyles: [
              {
                  code: "feonessexploration",
                  langcode: "preset-feonesexploration",
                  requestMods: ["game", "survival"],
                  listOrder: 1,
                  worldType: "standard",
                  worldConfig: {
                      worldClimate: "realistic",
                      gameMode: "survival",
                      microblockChiseling: "true",
                      deathPunishment: "keep",
                      creatureHostility: "passive",
                      playerHealthPoints: "20",
                      playerHungerSpeed: "0.5",
                      foodSpoilSpeed: "0.5",
                      toolDurability: "2",
                      saplingGrowthDays: "5",
                      playerMoveSpeed: "1.25"
                  }
              },
    ]
  }
}

You can also add new elements to the customize world screen like this

{
	description: ...
	authors: .... 
	(your other modinfo.json stuff here),
	worldConfig: {
		playstyles: [ (your playstsyles here, if you want to define any) ],
		worldConfigAttributes: [
			{ code: "feonMode", dataType: "dropdown", values: ["off", "on"], names: ["On", "Off"], default: "off" },
		]
	}
}

To apply those configs, you can build a conditional patch

[
  {
    "__comment": "Feon mode makes in-water reeds and papyrus regrow much faster",
    "op": "replace",
    "path": "/attributes/inGameHours",
    "value": 24,
    "file": "blocktypes/plant/reedpapyrus-free.json",
    "condition": { "when": "feonMode", "isValue": "on" }
  }
]

Here's a list of all config options added by the vanilla game, sorry not documented yet, just raw json code right now:

            { code: "gameMode", dataType: "dropdown", values: ["survival", "creative"], names: ["Survival", "Creative"], default: "survival" },

            { code: "saplingGrowthDays", dataType: "dropdown", values: ["1.5", "3", "5", "6.5", "8", "10", "12", "24", "48", "96"], names: ["1.5 days", "3 days", "5 days", "6.5 days", "8 days", "10 days", "12 days", "24 days", "48 days", "96 days"], default: "8" },

Sorry, this was perhaps more information than you bargained for

Ohh that's perfect, I'll be spending some time this weekend to play around with this.

[Feone Varen]

Removing the /patches files worked, I haven't been able to get world presets working. I'm guessing there's an issue with the syntax somewhere but I can't find an example or an error anywhere.

[Tyron]

You can upload me me a zipped up mod with a preset that is not working and i'll check it out
