Like a year ago or something i played this mod with the crystalline caverns, it was so fun, now i miss this mod because the game gives a lot of ways to visit new biomes without mods since odyssey

how's the progress for 1.6?

I'm excited. This one and Islands were my favorite Biomes! expansions.

oh Ancients.... :( Sob

@LifeIsAbxtch I'm not entirely sure given how long it's been, but I think it was VE Ancients?

what mods can you please tell me so i can use them with this...

@LifeIsAbxtch Sorry, no, those are from other mods

Dragon1993 does those objects and parking lots come with the mod in the caves in the images...?

Beta has indeed came out. Still some stuff to update and improve though, FYI! Like further new textures

the beta came out!

we've seen you have beta already (◑‿◐)

Soon, very soon...

So stoked for the rest of Biomes! to be back. Have you considered compatibility with any of the mods that add a new "underground" map layer? It'd be really cool if there were natural caves to explore "underground", I used to use "Tunnel and Underground" alongside this mod to achieve that but now that there's more Vanilla things to do it with... maybe y'all could consider it as an option/upgrade? :)

@Draegon1993 well, my mistake :D But that's a super cool plan anyway!

How can it be improved even more, I wonder?

@Talvi Jam OH no, it'd be a separate mod. The Fungal Forest is a biome in THIS mod

@Draegon1993 Seriously, you're planning to update glow forest in this mode?! I thought it was plan for some separate mode in distant future, great news! Thank you for your work!

@Mocho Improving the fungal forest, for one :D

What sort of things are you thinking about adding in the update?

@Saberris Sadly no, the team member that was working on the updates has been busy so update work is stalled a little. I did ask another team member to take over if he can though, so we might see some more progress soon

@DuckGoosebear PrairieDogLover Honestly. There were not enough unique fungi! Like the grass really should have been some form of mycelium, not just "Dark grass"

Hey Draegon, do you happen to have a rough estimate at all of when we might see an update for 1.6? I am just curious if it is going to look more like weeks or months down the line.

Draegon don't start your a modder just meditate for 30 mins and go buy some food and eat with a table, this mod will get updated in no time

@tarantio Sadly I gotta say just start your playthrough ;-;

@Draegon1993 My current Odyssey run is bugged. So i want to play underground dwarfs run medieval. Propably you dont have a date for this mod, but tell me....should i wait for you to update or just start my playthrough ?

I come check here every day :D
My sweet caverns...
Take your time, @Draegon1993, we are patiently waiting.

@Draegon1993 i haven't got a chance to play there yet, what was the most disappointing for you?

@tarantio Yep! I intend to eventually do a mod that improves the Glowforest. I settled there for a run and was honestly a little disappointed

I cant wait i cant wait !! Bye the way, is there any chance to make another mod regarding new biome Glow Forest ? its a shmae that in dlc it has lower tick rate and is betwen light and darkness so no bonus for fighting in darkness or living in darkness.

your mods add more storytelling depth as well bro WE love you Draegon!

@calebnetzky1 It will be, but it's taking some time due to the world map and colony map generation changes for 1.6

which is a shame because this mod looks really cool.

yeah, i really hope it will be updated to 1.6. It doesnt allow me to start a new playthrough :(

Any idea when Caverns will be updated to 1.6? Really wanting it up and running for my next playthrough :P

@angelus I do too! This mod was THE brainchild for me

I miss caravaning to try to catch pillbugs to handle all my housecleaning, and crystal lamps EVERYWHERE.

@Xannie Haha, well I'm glad you think so. We'll have better crystal cluster textures for the biome on update too :D

Waiting (im)patiently for this, crystal caverns have largely ruined me for other biomes.

Z-levels in 1.7?

It's the lack of Z-levels, the game is greatly held back by this fact.

That's because the game lacks underground anything at all. I really, really hope that some time in future this mod can be implemented as biomes for MultiFloors undergrounds.

@No Mic Tweetus I'm still surprised the game lacks properly underground environments!

Can't wait for this to be updated, dirtmoles in glowforests are nice and all, but it doesn't hold a candle to actual proper underground living that the base game frankly lacks.

@Sheep You're welcome. Happy to help ^-^

@Lich of Doot A tiny chance yes, but that would be a looooot of necessary art, and thus a lot of time (and commissioned artwork) so maybe once the core mods are done!

Also, we're working on an undead mod soon if you're interested :D

Any Chance we could get a theme pack, based on the armours from this set?

i'd love my colonists to craft the armour as a style instead particularly the spider helmets

Okay thanks Draegon! I wasn't sure, I really love the biome mods, so I'll keep it in mind, I figured that's how it worked but I am pretty new to rimworld modding, thank you!

@Talvi Jam Glowforest is one I absolutely want to improve! I love the idea of it but it could be so much better.

And for anyone that wants that to happen sooner, Patreon support helps XD

@Sheep The ones labeled for 1.6 work in 1.6, but otherwise they are likely to have a LOT of issues. Caverns at least does NOT work for 1.6 yet

Sorry, I know the mods aren't 1.6 listed yet, but do THEY work with issues on 1.6 or completely broken? Seems like a few things were, I just started making my 1.6 modlist so trying to find what I need to swoop back to in a few weeks.
