If the original author requests it, I will remove this update.

This functionality (and lots more) is contained in "ReGrowth: Core" by Helixien et al.

I am aware this is contained within ReGrowth. I am a fan of more options for everyone.

If you run ReGrowth: Core, you don't need this mod. I suspect they could coexist, but do so at your own risk; it's really unnecessary.

Original mod notes (1.4):

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! [This has now been separated out and is only available via World Map Beautification Project (Continued)]

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>

Unfortinately, on my end, I can't seem to get the thing where it spawns ONE tile over a certain list of Biomes (rather than spawning in normal groups). The Biome loads perfectly fine when I generate a Map on it, but it only shows up if I use cheat codes to force it.

Thank you!

I've added a link to the manual and added the example from the original mod page to the description.

Do you have any instructions on how to use the Biomes Kit? I can't figure out how to make my custom Biome spawn correctly.

Make sure you unsub/resub and are on version 1.0.2, I had to push a fix.

Thank you!

Updated to 1.6.

Take all the time you need. I can wait!

Until then, I'll just disable the Biomes until then, unless I can get someone to convert them to C-Sharp.

This is not a trivial update for 1.6; been digging into it since unstable was available. As soon as I can, it will be updated.

I hope that you plan on updating this soon, when you get the chance! My Mod adds Biomes and needs this in place!
