  1. It has been a while and I haven't been back since March 2021. So I would like to ask if my original question still holds up or if there are new things to consider when creating a new game. Any tips for creating a fun world? What settings are a must have for you?
  2. Hey guys, I am just coming out of my first 70h playthrough and now that I am aware of most of the game mechanics and what is important to succeed, I am thinking about restarting a more customized game. I am thinking about changing the following aspects: Limiting world size and reducing polar distance dramatically. Before in a 1 million map size with 100k polar distance it was impossible to get from one climate zone to another. At least for me and the time I am willing to travel the world. Setting surface tin probability up (to rare?) and ore density up to 200%. In my previous game I hardly found any ores while mining or spelunking. What are your thoughts on this? What has or hasn't worked for you? Any other suggestions about how to adjust the standard settings to get a better experience? Thanks in advance!
  3. Thanks again for all the replies. I think, based on your comments, I figured out what happened in my 10k map with 5k equator distance: I was wrongfully assuming that I spawned on the equator but as Streetwind mentioned you spawn at 45 degrees latitude, meaning half way between north pole and equator (at least if you decide to spawn in temperate climate) That is why I never could find the south pole on my map. I needed to travel 2,5k to the equator and then another 5k to the south pole. But from where I spawn, my map only offers 5k into each direction, so I passed the equator and ended up in the same climate zone I started in but in the southern hemisphere. South pole was cut off. The following picture should illustrate what happened. Do you guys agree or is there a problem with my logic?
  4. Hey Streetwind, thanks a lot for your reply. I actually did it (but in survival mode). When I reached the southern edge it did not look like a pole to me. I am going to do some further testing in creative mode. I just abandoned my 60h+ save file because I realized that I had a 1 million world with 100k equator. I hate this to be the standard setting. I would not see any southern biome in forever. When you first start the game you have no clue what it all means (and I guess I still don't really understand it). Cheers, Johannes
  5. Hello guys, I wonder if I am understanding the concept behind the world size correctly. Am I right to assume that if I set world width and length to 10k and polar distance to 5k, that the poles would be right on the edge of my map to the south and to the north? Like this: North pole (edge of the map) <-- 5k (getting colder) <-- Equator --> 5k (getting warmer) --> South pole (Edge of the map) What would happen if I set world size to 25k x 25k and still have polar distance at 5k? Would I be able to travel beyond the poles? What happens to the climate then? Edge <-- 12,5k (??) <-- North pole <-- 5k (getting colder) <-- Equator --> 5k (getting warmer) --> South pole --> 12,5k (??) --> Edge May I ask what your preferred settings regarding world size are when you are playing a single player game?
