tanyfilina: Which biomes specifically, and do you have any other mods that might affect map generation? Nothing related to riverbanks has changed recently in this mod, but I might be able to help troubleshoot

Copy: Yes, but new biomes won't show up on the world map until a brand new world map is generated

Cannot get riverbanks in modded biomes anymore, although it worked few days before

Fantastic update, thanks.

Update: Better integration for Odyssey's weather and tile features. If playing with Odyssey, expect more weather variety. On world maps, expect to see more tile features and for the tile features to make more sense for the biome.

I hate temperate forest i hate temperate forest!

Update: plants and animals from Odyssey are now patched into biomes from this mod
Zylleon  [author] 14 Aug @ 7:24am 
Nope, should be compatible

Does this conflict with regrowth 2?
Zylleon  [author] 5 Aug @ 6:56am 
Yep, it's on the to do list

Hi ! Is it possible to patch biomes with odyssey content ? (for example vanilla swamp has new plants, fish, weather)
Ing 4 Aug @ 9:10am 
And thank you for the wonderful mod! :beeped:
Zylleon  [author] 4 Aug @ 8:51am 
Thank you! I added it to the description.

Hello, I have translated your mod into Ukrainian. Here is the link: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?edit=true&id=3542012777
Zylleon  [author] 26 Jul @ 10:06pm 
Thanks! Added those to the list

If you're still keeping track of mods that have patches for this, my other mods, Bird Up+ and Birds of the World, also support this mod (asking since I see Little Critters on there)
Zylleon  [author] 26 Jul @ 5:55pm 
Update:
- Grasslands has been renamed to Stormy Savanna, as this is in line with my vision for the biome and differentiates it from Odyssey's Grassland. Storms may be a little more common. Description has been updated as well, for the same reason.
- Iceberg has been renamed to Ice Floes, which is a more accurate description of the biome.
- Updated description for Glacial Shield, to better distinguish it from Glacial Plain (which is a very different biome)

I've also updated all the preview images on Steam!

Renaming Grasslands to Plains might work
Zylleon  [author] 25 Jul @ 5:31am 
Yes, I'm keeping them. The names are much more similar than the actual biomes, and removing them would cause problems for existing games.
EnderMelody 24 Jul @ 2:45pm 
are you keeping the similar ones to the ones in the update in? id like to not have overlap though iirc you have a config to disable biomes in the mod.
Maixaips 22 Jul @ 12:27pm 
ok thx
Zylleon  [author] 22 Jul @ 12:25pm 
The similarly-named biomes are Glacial Plains (glacial shield) and Grasslands (grasslands). There was also an "iceberg" map feature added (not a biome). I've renamed the Iceberg biome to Ice Floes. Glacial shield will stay the same, and I'm still deciding for Grasslands.

The look and feel of these seems quite different from my versions, and I don't think Odyssey or 1.6 has anything similar to any of the other MVB biomes.
Zylleon  [author] 22 Jul @ 12:19pm 
Odyssey added a couple biomes that are kind of similar to some MVB biomes, though they seem more similar in name than in execution. MVB is still alive and well, and I'm planning more updates to further differentiate the similar-aounsing biomes
Maixaips 22 Jul @ 11:56am 
So wait, im coming back to rimworld and your mod is listed in the "Dead Mods in 1.6 list" as a mod that was integrated into the game. Is that correct? Since it was updated recently im kinda doubting that list
ObscureParticle 15 Jul @ 8:54pm 
I think there is is significant difference in the looks. Trees from the Odyssey Grasslands are the same as the ones in the temperate biome, just more scarse. The main theme is the goldern grass, windy (which increases the energy output form the wind turbines and no geysers to be found on the map. It also will NOT spawn on mountain tiles. However, they can both coexist as they are currently. Oh, and the animal generation in yours is a little different, cant really explain exactly how. Seems like yours has more large animal herds on the typical day like elephants and hippos, which are a little more rare on the Odyssey one.

Savannah, Prairie, Plains
Zylleon  [author] 14 Jul @ 9:52am 
I'll definitely take ideas! I still need to do a deep dive into Odyssey to get a good feel for the new biomes, and for the new animals that got added.

The inspiration for MVBs grasslands was more "lion King" than "little house on the prairie" so I'm currently I'm hoping to lean more into a "savanah" vibe. That depends on Odyssey's grassland, obviously - if they went hard in that direction and I can't differentiate, I'll do something else with it.
@Zylleon could i throw you an idea? What if it was renamed "Tallgrass prairie" and a lot of prairie dogs (if Odyssey enabled), bunnies, guinea pigs, muffalo and other prairie animals like to spawn there. It could be a lusher version of the grassland maybe. Well just a thought, at least i would love that.
Zylleon  [author] 13 Jul @ 8:37pm 
No, both spawn. I will be renaming Grasslands to something more distinct and possibly making some adjustments to reduce overlap. In the meantime, you can disable Grasslands in the settings if you like
Does this mods grassland affect the odyssey grassland?
Zylleon  [author] 13 Jul @ 6:27pm 
Dealer - thanks!

Alpine meadown does appear, but it has the same brown colour as boreal forest instead of its flashy bright green with yellow dots.
Zylleon  [author] 13 Jul @ 10:26am 
tanyfilina - the mountainous biomes being surrounded by plains v mountains is coincidence, the spawns were never restricted in that way

Tatara - confirmed, thanks for the heads up! I'll need to review the biomeworkers in this mod
Tatara 13 Jul @ 7:14am 
The alpine meadows don't appear. At least that's my impression.
tanyfilina 13 Jul @ 12:32am 
Something seems wrong with biomes placement. I think previously mountainous biomes were spawned inside the mountain massives, being surrounded by mountains. Now they spawn still on mountain tiles, but can be surrounded by plains.
Jotbe83 12 Jul @ 7:06am 
Alright!
Zylleon  [author] 11 Jul @ 10:38am 
Hit me up on discord and I'll share all my biome-modding knowledge and tools :D
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 10:35am 
I found the defs

ODDYSEY BIOMES

GLACIAL PLAIN - Mb, but its very simmilar to glacial shield
GLOWFOREST
GRASSLANDS
LAVAFIELD
SCARLANDS
SPACE

Where did you learn biome modding? i'd like to learn it
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 10:32am 
Anyways uh let me check actually.
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 10:32am 
if you bought the DLC you must restarts team since there's been an error or smth
Zylleon  [author] 11 Jul @ 10:18am 
All questions about DLC compatability may have to wait. Steam hasn't been letting me buy the DLC this morning, so I can' t actually look at it to answer anything.

Can you confirm that the new biomes are named the same, Grasslands and Glacial Shield? Are there others I should know about?
ObscureParticle 11 Jul @ 9:43am 
Can confirm what Jotbe83 is saying. The Grassland biome from the Odyssey DLC will not spawn if this mod is installed. Any chance you could make it compatible?
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 8:46am 
I made mistake, not base game but its in the oddysey DLC now, appearing near deserts as savannas mostly
Zylleon  [author] 11 Jul @ 8:35am 
Can you explain what you mean? I don't see defs in Core for anything resembling either of those biomes, nor do I see them on the world map when generating a world. What are the base game equivalents called?
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 7:06am 
since grasslands in base game now, along with glacial shield
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 7:06am 
yo won't grasslands have to be removed
Zylleon  [author] 9 Jul @ 9:16am 
Check and let me know if it needs a patch
shadowblade 6 Jul @ 6:29pm 
does it work with mythology animals?
Zylleon  [author] 6 Jul @ 8:28am 
Yep!
storminfinte 5 Jul @ 8:37pm 
When Odyssey releases, do you plan on patching this mod for it?
