Dont work D: idk why
Game Say unknow compatible

I have a 13600K and 32GB ram. What maximum size would you recommend? Also, is there a biome mod that you'd recommend go with this?

Be warned though it does take a long time to load it.

works perfectly fine, you should check mod settings the option giant is no longer there, however mod works as advertised

Not work

i dont see giant option while generating the world please.

@Ryukae Last time I used it, worked perfectly, but it was 6 months ago.

Does this still work?

Yep I used MR, see my reply in MR's comments hopefully it will address your question.

Q: What worldgen settings/mods were used to create the circular patchwork of biomes in your thumbnails? Looks a bit like Megarandom but I'm not sure, and without worldgen mods our server always ends up kinda "flower-petals", if that makes sense.

Yes @Digi62 @KawattaMe it is possible to make the world smaller, please check this file:

mods\workshop-1402122582\modinfo.lua

Even without knowing about modding I believe it should be rather easy to tweak, just set the "data" value to something smaller than 450.

for example, replace:

{description = "1.1x Larger", data = 480},

==>

{description = "My new size", data = 200},

Then select "My new size" in the game

Unfortunately due to how the game works the biomes look much weirder, IIRC I tried it in the past and decided to not include it by default. Let me know how it goes.

Would it be possible to create a world smaller than the one available?

Is there a mod that does the opposite? that makes the world smaller?

by latest official update, a new game crash with the mod.

Tropical Experience, Cherry Forest, Green World, Windy Plains (if not bugged), Megarandom cave biomes

Do you have a suggestion for what 'new biomes' mods to use along side of this?

Yes I understand. Do you think your mod is compatible with the Setpiece Config Mod (https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2012031749) ?

No or very marginally, unlike regular objects which number should increase proportionally with size, set pieces are in a fixed amount no matter the size. You might see 1-2 more than usual because sometimes set pieces don't spawn if there is no room left, and this is less likely to happen with Giant, but that should be very marginal.

Hey, I have a question. Does a bigger map generate more setpieces then a smaller one?

hi may I know where in the local files of dst can I edit the map size generation?

Does this work with IA?

This only makes it bigger, right? Should make a version of this that makes it like, very small. If you haven't already! <3

Yes, that's normal then. The 32-bit limit is per-process, which is why hosting caves reduces crashes (consumes more memory, but splits into 2 processes).

McGibblers I've already summarized a lot of info on that topic. Make sure to take a look at the link I posted. Main lines are: don't play if the client uses 2.7 GB or more when starting the world or it will eventually be unstable, and install Linux for 2x more memory and incredibly faster loading times (as long as you have a GPU).

@Swaggy

I believe the 7gb is split between 3 separate processes. The overworld server, the cave server, and the user play environment.

Here's some proof

Whitegrave add me. I already have a a big collecgtion of mods I have that work together and Im also trying to get giant size to work with these. lets compare notes

I'm a bit confused how you manage to have a 32-bit process use 7 GB RAM. Has a 64-bit version of DST been released ?

Also this might be worth a read : link , especially the "play on Linux" part.

Hey guys. I've been doing a ton of trial and error to get enormous maps working, specifically with tropical experience and creeps from the deeps included.

In the current state of mods for DST, it's not possible to do this with Megarandom or any mods that require Gem Core API.

I have successfully generated worlds at 4x giant settings with TE and CFtD content included by following the above restrictions. This includes also having caves (huge) enabled simultaneously.

For those interested, this costs 7gb of ram to host a 4x server so your PC will need 16gb to accomplish this.

I am also using the server assets mods to minimize the memory costs.

IM USING IT WITH TROPICAL EXPERIENCE AND A LOT OF OTHER BIOME MODS! Ill let you know if I crash haha

@MayaStoat Sure. Just credit EvenMr, he's the one who found the code

Hello there, Would it be okay if I incorporate the code from this mod into the Custom Maps feature of Creative Commands? I'll be sure to give credit where it's due.

My computer is on fire, I think it's working

I guess so. You can quickly test this by generating a world and revealing it with "map reveal" mod. Please let me know

is this mod working correctly even with the changes to the ocean?

You can set the size you want by tweaking the modinfo.lua in my mod directory. Try setting a size like 20 and see if it works.

how about a mini size

@Hornet I don't think this will change anything to memory usage. I have run some tests with my Megarandom mod custom shapes, it seems what really matters is the number of tiles, not really the surface of the world.

Hm.... Alright Thank you, I just want a bigger world, but due to memory issues I want to cut it down to a rectangular shape. Thanks anyways.

@Hornet I don't think you can do this with the current way the game code works. Through modding you can add properties to the world and tweak parameters, but ultimately the map generation process is done by a low-level function that is not accessible through modding. Check out "WorldSim:GenerateVoronoiMap" in forest_map.lua .Unfortunately this function fills the map in a circular way and you cannot change that directly. So you will have to find a way to change tiles after the world has been generated. I could be wrong but I don't think it's reasonable, it will require a lot of reverse engineering and spend a lot of time on your side reading the source files.
Try to ask vagnerderochasantos (developer from Tropical Experience), he might have done something similar in his mod.
I heard with the next update the map generation will change, maybe you'll be lucky ! :s

Hello! I'm wondering if you could make a rectangular option avaiable? For one of my world projects, I need a rectangular world. if your not able to add that to this mod, i'm wondering if you could guide me on how I could make a rectangular-shaped world? Thank you

@󰀀 Goth.K There are some other good mods for that, like Tropical Experience + Megarandom or Megarandom alone . Unfortunately this mod uses too much memory and you will probably not be able to generate giant maps with them, so I have personally stopped using it.

love this mod.if that was possible. that would be nice if you work on generating world algorithm. and make less borig worlds.

@ify Yes, you are running out of memory. No fix for that, you will have to disable some mods or hope Klei release a 64-bit version of Don't Starve one day.

With your combination of mods you can forget about Giant maps completely, actually I'd already be surprised if you manage to make Megarandom + Tropical + Multi Worlds run properly.

Check Megarandom "Out of memory" discussion for more details.

I'm crashing every time I use this mod on default settings alongside; Megarandom+Multi World+Tropical+Green World (I've tested them alone and without Giant they all work) Error message reads something about memory limit or run out of memory. Any ideas?

@2944605534 yes

Dear author, my friends and I like this mod very much. Can I upload this mod to wegame in China? Well, thank you

There is a Glitch Where the Ruines is Split in two and on the oppisite side of the map

================= NEW MAJOR UPDATE, PLEASE READ =================

In the new version, the way to use the mod has changed:

● There is no more patch and no "Giant" map size to select anymore.
● Now you need to enable the mod while creating the map and the size selected in the mod settings will be used. (Don't worry, it will overwrite the size selected on the server screen)

==================================================================

@Swaggy Can you accept the friend invite so I can send you the code.

@EvenMr I am very open if you have other ideas, that's just the only way I've found to make it work.

Can I help rewrite this mod? The current way to change the sizing seems kind of, emmm, rude...
