TheGofa Posted September 5, 2025 Report Posted September 5, 2025 Hi everyone, With the new patch giving us sailing boats, im trying to get a world gen that has plenty of oceans, some largish land masses and lots of islands. The world generation im using to try and get this is: World Height 256 Landcover 50% Landcover Scale 200% Upheaval 30% Landform Scale 100% Im getting the good sized land masses, a few island and larger bodies of water... BUT... theres literally zero lakes and small water inlets ??? This might not seem too bad a thing to deal with but I walked for half an hour and found NO cattails, which means no storage Ive attached a SS of my starting land to show how good the ocean gen is, and decent land but zero lakes = zero cattails. If anyone can help with world gen to tweak it so theres more lakes but not change the land / ocean % I would be so grateful. Cheers ! 1

Hi Vratislav, thanks for the reply. Yes I did have Plains and Valleys mod on, I have removed it and made a new world using the same seed and settings. Seems the mod did make the Plains a lot bigger, but even without it I seem to have a lack of lakes / cattails... Ive attached the map as before, but still cant get my desired result. Will keep testing different percentages in settings. Many thanks for your help and idea. Cheers !
TheGofa Posted September 5, 2025 Author Report Posted September 5, 2025 (edited) OK, I think ive gotten what I was looking for After many MANY tries with different settings etc (and removing Plains & Valleys mod) I have the world, map attached. I used these setting to get it just as I wanted, lots of water to use the new boats, good land size AND lakes, small water patches... World Height 256 Landcover 60% Landcover Scale 150% Upheaval 30% Landform Scale 60% Cheers to you all and I hope you enjoy your gaming ! Edited September 5, 2025 by TheGofa 1
