Map Generation

[Kerican]

Two things I'm looking into both sorta related to Map gen.

I've notice on alot of modded Biomes, Ambrosia doesn't sprout? And is their any way to fix it?

Secondly I've also in my many hours of spawning maps over and over... the Main Mountains can not be Marble. I don't think I've once found a mountain biome made up of Primarily Marble. Heck even using Map Designer mod, if I turn off all stone but Marble a Mountain Biome is Marble. But if I turn on Marble and any other Stone. Slate, Granite, and Limestone, on the same map, that stone take priority and marble becomes a much less of a resource.

Been looking for something to allow Marble to spawn as a Primary Stone. Heck would love a mod that change up the mountain generation to make it a bit more diverse?

The Ambrosia incident only happens in a list of allowed biomes, you would have to mod the incident to add the modded biomes to it for them to happen there.

Marble does not work differently than any other stone and you can definitely have a mostly marble mountain. This is just RNG.

This mod has some other mountain generation styles:

I go out of my way to look for marble mountains most of the time. Not as solid as granite, sure, but I just like marble. Just have to spend some extra time looking around the map for a starting position.

In Mountain maps I have found smaller piece of Mountain that can be Marble, but so far never the bulk of the mountain. Will look at that mod thouugh

I'd suggest the mod "Prepare Landing" it allows you to filter tiles to easily find what you are looking for. And if I'm not mistaken, an advanced mode to modify a tile to suit your needs.

Note that this mod is not updated for the 1.5 test version yet.

Definitely like that Prepared Landing Mod, will add that one to the list. Though tried generating several worlds, and can't find a world that has the Dominate stone to be Marble. Especially Mountain maps.

I use map preview so I am able to see how the map generates before I load into the world. On most the mountain is Slate, Granite or Limestone. If Marble is on the map, is might be a smaller section of the entire mountain, and or maybe a stone segment that is not part of the main map.

Probably serverly limit my mods entirely just to see if its not some other strange mod thats doing this.

there you go, you can make it spawn naturally

[Johnny Hammer]

for your marble situation....you could always just remove slate sandstone and granite lol so only marble spawns

[Kerican]

I kinda want Marble/Slate spawn where Marble is the dominate, but will take a look at that mod.

Map Editor allows you to place stone of choice and add overhead mountain. Also will let you remove overhead mountain and place resources like gold if you get in a bind. yeah, its cheaty.
