? Been there many times, I have well over 1000 hrs in this game, and many fresh starts, as well as obvious attempts to get some less annoying terrain generation.. I just figured it was time i gave some feedback about the biggest issues I have with it, since i love the game and want it to be better and be more popular.

Agis classes is currently my fav class mod if you're interested in trying some new ones. Also comes with some great class recipes I really feel like should be in the game. Nothing exactly like you've suggested, but its become a mod I cannot live without now. https://mods.vintagestory.at/agiclasses

Stonebake oven mod is amazing, everyone i know uses it.

My newest try at a new seed. Lets be honest. this is messed up and the worldgen needs some work. Again, love the game, love the world, but this worldgen needs some work, and thats why im here in the suggestion portion of the forums. Ive been generating worlds, playing with settings, and flying around for the past 4 hours now. Majority of seed spawns have been terrible no matter the settings. It shouldnt be this way.

As far as I know, the lore states the world is back to its original state with only the rifts, storms and remenants of monsters that remain as a connection to what happened before,or perhaps in the future. To be honest, as someone who grew up near these types of land forms you mention, these are nothing like sand hills, canyons or mesas Ive ever seen. This is a rediculously extreme over repeated, up and down that makes no sense especially with water in between. Im sure you can probably find something "like" this in the real world but it would be extremely rare. You said it yourself there so annoying you avoid them completely or have to spend a ton of time digging through them. Making it kind of pointless for them to exist at all. Myself and everyone i know that plays finds them super annoying and we all have tried to generate spawns far from them and tried worldgen mods to get away from this type of thing. If you look into worldgen mods, its pretty clear they are all made with the sole idea to get away from this type of land generation, and most people in the comments arent looking for just flat land, but to again, get away from this type of unrealistic, odd, and really only annoying generated chunks.

Agree with all of the what the OP said.

Upheaval in the screenshots is set to 0, and I have messed with all other settings to every extreme. The particular land generation in the screenshots seems to be unavoidible and very frequent to varying degrees. Though i have got lucky and not spawned in it a few times, I still run into this odd up and down repeated terrain eventually. Its just very odd generation to me and maybe one of the most annoying terrains to deal with. I like the mountains and cliffs and most all of it, its just really this particular land generation and the odd floating chunks I find either annoying, out of place or odd.. Otherwise, this is my fav game right now and i cant stop playing it. Love it. I just hope this type of terrain can become a focus on those working on world generation, and it can be removed as it really make no sense to have it at all. Its just an annoyance, isnt realistic at all, and nothing in the lore says the world should be this messed up in spots.

I agree with this statement, although I also agree the rock throwing is a bit "off " and especially annoying when in large groups. Maybe buff the melee damage and hp, and decrease throw frequency and increase min range instead. We now have bowtorn to do that annoying ranged damage, so a little less from drifters along with a buff to them might feel better.

For me its not the biomes that bothers me, and i know more for that is in the works. Its the way the world generates as I put in my most recent post. There is some really messed up land generation going on that is nothing but annoying and really doesnt make any sense at all.

No offence but fire not going out when dunked in water seems a bit odd of a request and idea.. Especially for a game so focused on being very realistic. You also shouldnt have a torch for very long, getting to oil lamps should be happening for anyone pretty quickly.

World gen is really pretty bad, and no amount of messing with the settings can fix some of the things I do not understand get generated at all. These screenshots are just one of the most annoying types of landforms that seem to be far to frequent. Especially at spawns. What is with this up and down, up and down everywhere for miles no matter what settings you change. I love this game and everything about it, but the amount of times I have started a game, deleted it and tried again just to get away from garbage generation like this is obscene, and I still run into it all over even if I am lucky enough to not spawn in it. Nothing in the Lore seems to justify such a messed up world. I havent even got into the floating pieces of land, or other wierd shit that generates. Whats up with this world generator? I know we can use mods, but I would rather not if I dont have to and these seems like something that should be of main focus for any game. That the world generates " properly ". WIth Tera pretty you loose cliffs, exposed rock, galcier ice, and what i consider real mountains almost completely which imo isnt any better. Plains and Valleys will do some really broken generation far too often to bother. Im not finding anything that seems to actually generate a proper, well mixed up world. Its just one extreme to the other, with no decent middle ground. Also can you put a simple two click option before joining a save. Like click on the save, and then a pop up window asks, do you want to join this save before it joins. Accidently clicking a save and then having to force quit get's annoying especially when your trying to find a decent seed spawn. If im missing something or anyone has any other recomendations, please let me know. Either way, for the Devs, please put some focus on fixing your world generator. Everyone I know that plays is annoyed by it, and it is a major part of the player experiance. Also looting enemys is fubar, and something we have to deal with everyday, all day. Its super annoying, especially when under fire and trying to loot during storms before the corpse dissapears.

Totally serious, If this keeps up Im going to get to a point where I can no longer afford to repair my gear. All these enemys im getting are taking up to much time, and resources with too little reward, and why are there so many in my base, even in daylight. This hasnt stopped the whole time Ive been on. I can barely get anything done.

Im constantly fighting off mobs IN my base. Granted its a big open base carved into a mountain, but its very very well lit. Im almost not doing anything else as Im constantly being interrupted trying to cook, or smith, or anything. Ive already broken multiple weapons and I couldnt even begin to count the total number Ive killed after this patch. Its a bit much to say the least.

My base which I carved into a mountain is absolutly full of mobs, like never before after this patch. Ive never killed so many in such a short time period. Im breaking weapons like crazy , and I can barely get any work done in my base. Any time I try to do any blacksmithing im constantly being interrupted. Its a bit much to say the least.

See no problems like you are, and definetly do not feel the same. In fact. The game could use more mobs imo, but there AI, spawns, could probably use some attention.
