About BiomesKit

Note! BiomesKit does not add anything new on its own. It's intended to be used by other modders to more easily add new Biomes.

BiomesKit is a framework for the placement of biomes on the world map at worldgen. Previously, modders needed to utilize C# to add new biomes to rimworld. With BiomesKit, placement of a biome can be controlled with XML tags in the BiomeDef itself.

With BiomesKit as a dependency, you too can make your own biomes mod with minimal hassle! Features of BiomesKit includes but are not limited to:
* Spawning biomes based on factors like elevation, rainfall, hilliness and more!
* Restricting your biome to spawn only on specific vanilla biomes, or even biomes from other mods!
* Changing the hilliness of a tile to a specific level, or even randomizing it!
* Custom world map tile graphics for your biome!

BiomesKit works by adding tags in the BiomeDef through a modExtension. For example, here's how I did it on the tropical island for Biomes!

<li Class="BiomesKit.BiomesKitControls"> <randomizeHilliness>True</randomizeHilliness> <usePerlin>True</usePerlin> <perlinCulling>0.5</perlinCulling> <allowOnWater>True</allowOnWater> <minTemperature>15</minTemperature> <minRainfall>600</minRainfall> <frequency>5</frequency> <materialPath>World/MapGraphics/TropicalIsland</materialPath> <materialLayer>3509</materialLayer> </li>

It's very unfortunate to see this fall into the bloat of Regrowth, guess I can do without.

@Helixien: Lovely to hear that. ReGrowth is already a must have and it becoming THE biomes mod series is awesome. 💜

Hello everyone!

After talking with Odeum yesterday he and I came to an agreement, starting with 1.5 and going forward BiomesKit, as well as the World Map Beautification Project will be integrated into ReGrowth: Core. Of course with a setting to disable the changes to the world map.

The BiomesKit functionality will stay the same for any modder who uses it in their mods!
