Editing an already made world

[tools guy-kun]

I noticed that I can still edit the settings of an already generated world. Say I make a world with a normal carrot spawn rate, then change it to tons later. Would stuff like that screw up my world?

no

what would those types of edits do to the world? would it spawn more carrots/species (whatever is tweaked) than already spawned?

[Baarko]

probably increase carrot respawn rate

carrots are under world regrowth so yeah, it would increase how fast they regrow

Interesting, so changing the spawn rate wouldn’t necessarily add more/less of a mob/resource, but it will basically alter how fast or slow they regenerate ? If I’m understanding correctly.

it wouldn't be the same for all resources, but yeah, finding them would happen more/faster

like if you boosted treeguards, they would have a higher spawn chance upon cutting down a tree.

I see. I just realized that I am unable to edit the spawns in the other tab for world generation, which was what I was mostly referencing but just found out that it's not possible to edit that stuff anyway, lol. thanks for the detailed answer.

also, I can't help but feel that your name and pfp are a reference to Paladins.

nah, i had the name before paladins came out, but that does make sense considering my pfp
