This generator enables (mixed !) narrow & wide rivers and well-defined mountain ranges with very flat areas inbetween.
It is still WIP but functional and safe to use.
The reason I made this was because I found the vanilla generator and other modded generators didn't create very scenic and practical maps because the transitions between highland and lowland was too gradual & 'bumpy' for my taste. Also, I wanted to have more control over rivers; especially their widths.
- Higher mountains (upto about 1500m) with a more distinct transition between flatland and cliffs.
- If you enable snow tops in the mod settings (on by default) mountain tops will be covered in snow above ~750m.
- NOTE: Mountain density is a fickle setting which seems to depend (internally) on the map seed. Esp. if you set the maximum mountain height to maximum. (I'm still finetuning this).
- Rivers can be much narrower and wider than in vanilla. (Keep in mind that ships cannot navigate very narrow rivers.)
- Wider rivers are also deeper (still experimenting with this).
- Lake generation in rivers can be disabled.
- More rivers.
- Curved rivers.
- Random river widths (still experimenting with this).
- Option to make rivers 'zig-zag' more (since v1.2).
- Option to disable scattered rocks on the map; completely or keep them along rivers.
- Amount of scattered forests can be set (tree density).
- Tree density also affects the density of forests along mountain ridges.
- The treeline (height) on mountains can be changed.
- Option to add a coastline? (help needed)
- Scattered lakes (outside rivers)? (help needed)
- Translations
- Finetuning (mountain height-density ratio, river depth & width randomness)
- Known Issue: Rocks do not render when trees are set to 0.
If you enable the snow caps option, they will also appear in the (temperate) vanilla generator and any other modded generator that uses the temperate climate.
