Tar

[icemanik]

am i really forced to start from scratch on a new map to obtain tar?

Nope
1: find a "plains" you did not explore
2: get the tar from a other seed (good old worldhopping)

If you scoutet the whole map, and you dont want to use worldhopping or even the console, then yes

its a standard implementation and one they made very clear in all their posts!
new content will only generate in newly discovered areas.
so your old world will generate all new content in unexplored areas (anywhere outside of 500m exploration)
they cant win either way; either your old world works but you have to explore (WWWAaaaaaaaa im not happy because i have to work for new content)
or
your old world is essentially dead as all new content will only spawn in new seeds (wWWWWAAAaaaaaaa im not happy because my old world wont work and ive lost all my building)

cant have it both ways....and the way they have implemented the updates; and most previous ones and by the sound of it most upcoming ones is a simple solution that will allow current players to keep their builds in the majority of cases

Found a few tar pits so far on my sparsely explored old world so no, you don't need to play on a new map.

and be aware that Tar has a fluid dynamics...so you can dig the pit downhill and it will flow away allowing for more tar collection of the stuff "stuck in tar"

I've searched 4 hours on my old world. Could't find even one tar pit -_-

Explored several plains, 2 of them quite big, haven't found a single pit ( but i found a stone structure i've never seen before, so i guess my old world did generate new content).
Will keep exploring, but is the tar really important? Would like to use the new wood structures (not interested in the jacuzzi), is there any other use?

Don't get attached to your early access worlds--nature of development, there will be times where you need to restart for new content to work. If you're really attached to one then world hopping is your best option. As for the usefulness of tar--right now it's got some crafting uses but I wouldn't be surprised if it became useful for more things as Early Access provides more content. It's a resource--maybe not vital immediately or even ever for that matter, but it's another option in the game if you want to pursue it. Don't like it then don't use it, completely your choice.

For me it was the black metal chest. It's got soooooo much room and I have an abundance of black metal.

This is the biggest stealth update in H&H, dynamic fluids have *so* much potential if water gets modified to follow the same rules later.

Given there are already third party tools to roll back exploration of older saves or transfer your buildings to new worlds, I say IG made the right call focusing their efforts on core engine upgrades.
