A great landscape

[Leazira]

I was traveling to the village of history when I saw this formation, very good for a base in my opinion but I already have a house.

The world generator can make some pretty awesome terrain.

These pictures always makes me think there was some horrific erosion that went on.  In this case that horizontal line of soil emphasizes that impression for me.

Sandstone, shale, granite, peridotite, chert?

I mean there kind of was. It was so bad the whole timeline is messed up now!

Might be andesite instead of granite.  But I agree the reddish one is chert.

[Thorfinn]

Could be. It's a little bit light colored, but brightness might not be at defaults, or .recordingmode.

I believe those are peridotite, slate (cold dark brown), chert (rusty brown) and sandstone with occasional granite (neutral gray) above peridotite. Shale is a dark gray rock, and andesite has blue-ish color, I don't see any of it there. That's a great find nonetheless, both the scenery and rock types! Would be absolutely lovely place to settle in.

[Maelstrom]

Both andesite and granite (especially granite though) shift shades for me depending on lighting.

If only it had a safe harbor, it would be perfect.

And a waterfall.  On the right hand side of the pic, halfway between the tree and the cliff in the foreground.

If it doesn't have locusts swarming out of that overhang and falling in the water, it's a deal breaker.

Seriously, I'm not getting why I run into SO many of those. At least one or two a game. "Hey, that's a cool overha... Oh, locusts. Never mind."

I was thinking the same thing when I first saw that screenshot. It's beautiful, but why are they always locust-infested? Been that way since /I/ started playing this game
