Biomes and ores..

[Johnsen]

ive seen posts saying u get ores in specific zones, etc. but is there any chance for find ores in other then the mentioned biomes?? or do i have really bad luck with my seed, cuz i only have 1 tiny tiny ice spot for coppper..

[Johnsen]

no ice and no desert.. according to several posts u get ores there.. what to do ? reroll seed? or is the ores random?=

Warm Forest, Cold Forest, Taiga and Ice biomes can contain copper.

The "Below the surface", is it from the point i break ground with shovel/minepick, or is it from the bottom up? the cord 0 and up ?

I had a nice sized grassland biome that i was sure to get lots of coal.
Limestone was at the level where coal should have been. Too funny! ... ...

I EVEN CHEATED UP A MODERN ROCK DRILL AND NO COAL IN THE ENTIRE BIOME AS DEEP AS 30...

From the highest natural block, e.g. from where you break ground.

Dennis, is There a reason i cant see biome differences on map? Nothing highlights on environment ingame or server webpage

[Naofumi]

You can see the differences on map easily once you understand what color they are. Look closer at the tint or color as you look around on map.

well according to map its all half n half of 1 type of forest, and desert.. No biomes showing.

I see on slg github its been occuring since 0.8 in 2019

Any fix?

Then you are using a extremely outdated EcoSim.eco config file back from 2018. Otherwise that issue cannot happen.

Hm.. well this recipe actually worked from ur github.

Added by @mirasrael:

Actual issue happens with worlds which didn't update EcoSim.eco file (you can actually just remove it, because it will populate values from EcoSim.eco.template by default).
So actual steps to fix it on live server:

Update EcoSim.eco to latest version (either remove or copy from EcoSim.eco.template)
Restart the server
Run following admin commands:
/regenlayer ColdForestBiome
/regenlayer DesertBiome
/regenlayer GrasslandBiome
/regenlayer IceBiome
/regenlayer RainforestBiome
/regenlayer TundraBiome
/regenlayer WarmForestBiome
/regenlayer OceanBiome
/regenlayer TaigaBiome

Check if biomes appeared on map
Eventually biomes will return they colors.

Yep, that's what I was referring to.
