I will definetly use this mod going forward. The few new worlds I have seen look better than the vanilla ones by a significant margin. Thank you so much for this.

Ah, I see it now. I was looking through the files, trying to find out, if there was a flag that set a tile as fantastical, but missed it until now.

Thank you very much for clearing that up.

Both. With fantasy on you will get fantasy tiles, like for example the PDX logo and also fantasy spawning scenarios.

I appreciate you answering all my questions, but after messing around with the mod a bit, I have one more:
Are the spawned tiles influenced by the "fantastical" setting or only the nations that are placed on them?

OK, thank you

Well for the lacking part you can occasionally get less provinces than vanilla ofc, or bad trade connections, or both. This mod is stable in MP, yeah.

That goes even for the "30% lacking in an area"? Why I am asking is that I would like to use this mod and just dive in without having to check beforehand how the New World looks to keep the surprise.
But If you say they all have more, I will definetly try this mod for my next playthrough.
Is it stable for multiplayer, too?

In either case, thank you very much for mainting this mod.

Usually these RNW generations have actually more provinces than vanilla.

My main issue with vanilla RNW is that they are severely lacking in province count. Does this mod make them at least similar in count to the Americas or are does the "30% lacking in an area" mean they have way less provinces?

I formed the Obsidian Empire and it bugged out like crazy.
Not only did it set all ideas, mana, and other stuff to 0, it also left a couple of my former nation's provinces alive, didn't delete their armies, moved the new capital to a province next to the original one, gave me 100 armies in that capital and 100 1-ship fleets at a random port (which set my economy to a monthly -850 ducats), and then it immediately crashed the game as soon as I unpaused for half a second, as I was about to reconquer my original capital.
No other mods besides Stellairs Font, Additional Alerts, and Colored Mapmodes were on.

Got it, thanks!

@kirksanderson7 you need to press the random new world button to get the map to generate, and it will be random each time. If you want to see the result make sure to uncheck "terra incognito in lobby" under your game options which should be accessible from the same screen.

Super dumb question, but I'm a total rookie with using mods. Do I still hit 'random new world' at the start screen? Or is just having the mod in my playset enough? (Also, I'm using the RNW Middle Earth mod as well).

@Happy: Sure.

does this mod work with the newest version of the game?

@Uroboros: Its also uploaded on PDX mod store.

Incredible mod! Is there the possibility of a direct download outside the workshop?

I am not. Not even a font mod or anything.

Though I am using Xorme AI and Responsible blobbing, the crashes seem to be unrelated and both of these mods are light and seem to work as intended.

If you have crashes when opening menus you are using some interface mods together that dont go together. This mod does not change anything about that kind of stuff. Occasional crashes when generating can happen.

I should mention that I am using the FULLY random new world submod as well.
Also, I'd like to point out that some nations start off with diplomatic relations with other nations from across the map, including vassalage and independence guarantors,

Very cool mod, although for me it is unplayable due to the constant crashing- both when generating worlds and when opening menus when playing.

I dont know about that Shogunate, so probably not.

Does this Mod add that goofy Fantasy Shogunate in the New World, too? That Mod was wild back in the day.

If Ante Bellum uses the vanilla map it should work. If not adjusting it to a new map is quite difficult and can be impossible depending on their design.

Any chance this mod would be upgraded to work with Ante Bellum?

Editing trade routes in a save can be very dangerous for future crashes. Would not advise doing that. It should in theory be possible to edit it if done correctly, but who knows what it may cause in the end. Trade nodes are quite crashy in general.

Do you know if there's a way to edit a generated world's trade nodes?
Editing the save file seems to remove the connections after 1 month.
I tried manually adding a new tradenodes.txt file but that didn't work either.

I dont know, you'll have to see for yourself.

Is this working with "Custom nation mission trees"?
This mod just changes the custom nation score and gives them a focus tree based on the culture.

Make sure you have the mentioned checksum from down there when only running this mod. That should make sure that you no longer have the corrupted file somehow.

my game is still crashing, i tried 3 times and uninstalled then reinstalled the 2 mods. it might just be because im using a work computer for gaming and it cant run the mod though, im gonna maybe try switching the mod loading order and see if it works

@Crissie: Glad to hear! Hope you have fun with the mod!

@flogi It works now. Thank you for your dedication and hard work.

It was certainly a corrupt file here. Make sure you have the cecksum of 4982 with only this mod active. If you dont have this checksum, make sure the mod updated for your properly. The best way to ensure is is to delete the mod files by hand and then redownload the files.

Posted an update, please try again. Has to be some corrupt file that was uploaded to both mods... Really strange stuff.

@Seathug: For that you need the whole world generation addon.

How to randomize the whole world?

Game crashes on generating RNW, no matter what.

same issue as the guy below me, i assumed maybe it was my custom settings but it wasnt i changed them

For me it crashes every single time on generating province map, and I have tried like 10 times.Running it without any other mods.

You can get crashes from time to time. Just try again.

Mod crashes when generating new world. Tested this as only active mod and still crashes.

im using imperial graphics adjustments for my map mode

Is the version of shattered using the vanilla map? If not its not compatible.

idk it just crashes when ever i use it i always have to disable the mod when i do it

I dont see why it should not be compatible with Shattered.

pls make it compatible with doge shattered europa plsss

nvm had the option enabled that hides random worlds look

Is it normal that on the nation screen to choose one that the randomly generated new world isnt visible?

Fantasy new worlds generate with too many Catholics in comparison to Sunni,or Shinto. Makes exploration less interesting would be better with a different bias. Would be nice if maybe it was weighted towards Zoroastrian or Shinto or Shia for a change.

You can go into the options on the bottom left before generating and set the probability of fasntasy generations. On low it basically never happens.
