Windmills may also not work in some cases (weather related?). Some worldgen anomalies with certain world settings & seeds. I really want to know how this stuff can even happen, whether it's an actual bug or just some weird mismanagement in the code. When I read the newer and newer patch notes, things just keep getting crazier. 1

alberto_ascani Posted August 17, 2025 Report Posted August 17, 2025 People, I keep saying it, there's a serious problem with gravel fields, they're invading the map and everyone's stuck. Even this kind of canyon mountains are TOO MANY. I mean, guys, this is really bad. 1 1

It's a lot easier to spot those telltale signs of surface copper and other minerals in a gravel field than it is in a grassy field. It's also somewhat easier to spot threats or points of interest, since there's not a lot of grass or other foliage to obscure your vision. 5

alberto_ascani Posted August 17, 2025 Report Posted August 17, 2025 1 minute ago, LadyWYT said: Non proprio. È molto più facile individuare i segni rivelatori della presenza di rame e altri minerali in superficie in un campo di ghiaia che in un campo erboso. È anche un po' più facile individuare minacce o punti di interesse, dato che non c'è molta erba o altro fogliame a oscurare la vista. Okay, but that just ruins the map, there should be a setting to increase the gravel and sand fields

It could be as complex as sections of code having unforeseen effects on other code sections, or as simple as fatfingering a key when writing/examining portions of the code to begin with. It's really hard to say.

LadyWYT Posted August 17, 2025 Report Posted August 17, 2025 Just now, Facethief said: If you dislike the gravel fields so much, you can increase the world rainfall/moisture. I forgot that's a thing. But given that the gravel fields are technically deserts, increasing world rainfall should alleviate a good chunk of the issue. 1
Krougal Posted August 17, 2025 Report Posted August 17, 2025 Gotta say though, the mountain in his second image looks like it would make a great fortress with a little work. 2 1

I mean if you don't like the gravel fields, it's a problem. Personally, I've not had any issue with the gravel fields, and I quite like some of the striations we're getting in 1.21. Very much Painted Desert vibes.
Thorfinn Posted August 17, 2025 Report Posted August 17, 2025 (edited) Agreed, @Adnyeus. Something goofy happened when fixing mapgen. C# is modular enough that I'm a bit surprised, but it sure acts like things I used to see all the time where one module conflicts with another's namespace, generally when multiple coders were working on related objects. My money is on a blown pointer. Edited August 17, 2025 by Thorfinn

I love how actually mountainous the mountains look in Vintage Story compared to a number of other procedural games. 1

I didn't know it had an influence but with the standard settings it still seems too much and not well integrated into the environment

It's not like the earth where there's no such things as the Gobi and Sahara deserts, or the United States southwest. Oh wait. 3

anglefire Posted August 18, 2025 Report Posted August 18, 2025 I love gravel fields, I need all that stone to build a cobble house before I get a pickaxe!
AlexRavencrown Posted August 18, 2025 Report Posted August 18, 2025 Heya, I just came back on the game after a long break and was planning on making a new permanent singleplayer save, and I wanted to know of how soon-ish are we talking about for the 1.21 stable to come out, something like near the end of the month maybe ? That way I'll know if I just have to wait patiently or if I could start now.
