lol just remindinng you to update this collection

Excited for caves! for all the backstories about caveworlds, you'd think there'd be proper caves in vanilla

There's three things I've been unreasonably hyped for this year:
The Last of Us 2
Cyberpunk 2077
Biomes! Cavern addition
Thank you guys for making this mod, take your time.

Thank you folks for doing this Mod/Mods.

Lets follow our noses to the nearest tropical island!!

@Draegon1993 I know, I'm surprised no one has added them yet. I'll have to give this mod a run through on my next play session, maybe do a 'George of the Jungle' based Naked Brutality run, haha.

@Axiluvia Toucans do sound pretty fun tbh

Do you think you could add toucans as part of the animal list? I (on a whim) was searching for mods that have toucans, and there's not a single one. I figured they would be a good fit for the tropical island motif.

@Zovael As far as I know they are compatible, especially Vanilla Animals Extended. None of the animals will show up on the Islands, but otherwise should be fine!

Very neat stuff! Hope it doesn't end up incompatible with Alpha Biomes or Vanilla Animals Extended though, 'cus all this stuff would make quite a diverse and cozy planet together.

hooray! 1.1

For Islands, that is

We're 1.1 guys :D

any progress

Can't wait for 1.0

cant wait for this to be 1.0

I'd love an underwater base! I do wonder how you'd implement it with the core scenarios though. Short of dropping with some sort prefab building to prevent instant drowning, I'd be a bit stumped. It would certainly be tricky to do a tribal start!

*these mods

its comeing with new animals and stuff, we want this mod to be quality so it takes a little while to update. Thanks for your patience.

Need this mod for B19 uptade please :'(

should make like a space biome. Like a tear in the fabric of time kinda place. I think it would be interesting and new to see in this type of game, giving that it dosnt really have much space traval in it to exsplore with.

@BouncyBoi Yeah, that was likely Rainbeau. He made islands out of vanilla biome gens. As far as I know that was the extent of it.

Thanks @Draegon1993, I’ve got high expectations for Island and Archipelago. Fun Fact: Someone made an archipelago biome for A17.

@BouncyBoi We've got the Island and Archipelago generation largely down pat. So hopefully soon if everything goes well :D

when do you plan an adding the 2nd biome? I'm super excited for what you add next

@Draegon1993 thanks for the quick response

@Strawburner Not as far as we have heard.

does this conflict with advanced biomes?

Awesome
that would give a big use to caravans because if your in a tribe you could get guns or armor or you could just get good loot

@BobbyTheFurry Like a huge structure in the biome with broken sections and such.

For Shipwrecks do you mean like
a Ship just sitting on the ground broken apart
or like a
Pirate Ship stranded on shore

core first then caverns, put core after the vanilla game core :D if you have any other mods that you want active, i recommend putting them after biomes (caverns)

Which one should be put in front

@PhotonGentleGeneric Well, we do need some beta testers. Join us on our discord and we can discuss. https://discord.gg/85p6vc5

i am really looking forward to the finished product. i have no experience with coding, but if you want i can playtest in development functions, don't care about losing saves anyways :D

@PhotonGentleGeneri That is what we have been doing so far so no worries :P

although i do hope that they will make it so that all universal functions end up in core, and optional ends up in the other packages :D

Devs, i'm not here to tell you what to do, just here to help :D

Ey @Anima i am pretty sure that the reason the core and cavern mods require each other, is due to 2 things, 1 the core mod provides no biomes, just the core code and framework, and

2 , if they plan to add other biomes (wich i am sure they will) they will add them just like the cavern, in seperate packages, so that you can choose wich you like.

the core mod is probably not freshed out or bug free enough to contain some of the files of the cavern mod to function properly... hope that explains it a bit.

To add on my other idea, there would be an opposite. Almost 0 rocks, but half the ground is rich soil.

@FiishyBoy Thank you :D
@Onomis We're planning something similar for in the distant future
@singman That's a cool idea

Could I suggest thermal vents within mountains that make for natural refuges in artic regions?

Lol, cool. I have another suggestion: Make it so you can put down a drill platform and actually go underground. And have several layers : Upper underground layer. Where you can find abondened mines, and nests of different species of insects, middle underground layer where you can find lots of ores, and bones. And maybe even a special biome with prehistoric flora and and dinosaur like creatures, and and lower underground layer where you're so close to the center of the planet that you can come across lava geisers, and can roast marshmallows, And add some nasty lava creatures like an actuall living boneworm.

@Naid That's a cool idea. I like it.
@Onomis We're gonna make a few variants for the Island/Archipelago biome and it'll include a lot of that :D

Please make the ocean a cool place: Add some island clusters, salty oceans, warm oceans, cold oceans with small patches of ice or icebergs, undeep waters, and make us able to go into there with scuba, or submarines and have a great advantage in these areas. Just a sugestion though

I would like an area with very little soil called "Meteor Crater" or something like that. Very high underground rescources.

Absolute best rimworld mod in my opinion

figured I'd note that in steam workshop it says that cavern mod that goes with 'biomes! core' is required for the core mod to function. Not sure if that's supposed to be the case, as both mods have said they require the other.

obviously cavern mod should require the core, but it seems odd to me that the core relies on the sub-mod to function as well...

@Flaren2276 It's gonna be a fair while yet, we have lots still to add to the caverns, sub biomes and the like

Do we have an idea of when we will get a release of the next biomes? Wanna grab it as soon as you guys are done. Cause damn this is probably one of my favorite mods.

cant wait :D
