SlicksGirl Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I realize this request may not be fulfilled by the devs at TFP. But maybe if enough players express a desire for having our beautiful golden plains biome brought back into the game, we might stand a chance. (yes i realized it was removed for "optimization" but the maple forest and "swamp" was also removed and I am fine with those gone.) so if you want the plains biome brought back, please leave a comment and explain why or what it means for you. For me the golden fields were home in the game. I parked my base on a bridge in navasgane or a tower in RW right on their edge to enjoy those golden views, which were similar to the valleys in california in the summer where I grew up. I enjoyed picking corn and berries as i skipped through the fields of gold in the game. Personally i'd love to see the maple and oak trees scattered through the plains biome in fields of gold. While i think the birch trees make a lovely contrast to the pine in the forest region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppaTot Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I loved the plains biome, I used to try and live there exclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cirion Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 There were two other biomes too? I wouldn't mind those back too even though I don't know what they are. The more the merrier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlicksGirl Posted March 19, 2019 Author Share Posted March 19, 2019 There were two other biomes too? I wouldn't mind those back too even though I don't know what they are. The more the merrier... we used to have two forests Maple and pine, maple was warm, pine was cool (snow biome was coldest) and around bodies of water we had a sort of swamp biome that was sort of like the desert but with grass and the sounds of frogs. and then there was the Plains. so really, they removed 3 full biomes. Water, Maple forest, Plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmole has made it clear his intent is to reduce, not increase the complaints about performance lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmole has made it clear his intent is to reduce, not increase the complaints about performance lol the textures are gone, or at least we havnt found them. until we locate the texture models, probably not. Or at lease, it would take an SDX modders capabilities and probably a mod that has to be downloaded. (rather than server side only) I'll be looking into it again next week.

OzHawkeye Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Plains I liked, because I modded it to serve a particular purpose. I reduced animal spawning in the other biomes, but increased in the plains, then removed the ore generation from the plains. It then became my "go to Biome" for meat, but for nothing else. I did that with all the biomes, gave each of them a specific purpose, to encourage greater variety in my "daily" activities. Unfortunately, the small number of biomes currently available makes that sort of customisation no longer really viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordoftheMoo Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I also loved Plains. It was my favorite biome as well, even though it had no "unique features" (something that could have been fixed). Would have been great to have that be the main biome where things like farms and Old West towns were located. While I did like the two separate tree biomes, I don't miss that split much, really. Just plains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingSlayerGM Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Do other games have more biomes? Yes So whatever excuse, they used to get rid of biomes in 7dtd, is bs imo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdubyah Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Did they ever give a reason? I always liked the plains too. Where I always got my coal from. I'd like to see even more biomes. A proper swamp, better forests, maybe some jungle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RipClaw Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I have never settled on the plains myself but always preferred the maple forests. However, I am currently playing on the Navezgane map and the plains have been replaced by the snow region. With this the area on which you could settle in pleasant temperatures was massively reduced. In addition, there were some flat areas in the plains where you could build larger bases. Instead I had to remove hills to get enough flat area for a bigger base.

Severalboxes Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I always setup my base in the plains, usually near the edge of a forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypax Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 The Plains was my favorite biome, Navezgane has way too much snow, and temperature regulation has been a royal pain outside of the forests for me. (RNG & Navez both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2n1 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I'd trade plains for wastelands anytime There's no point - i don't see actual limits on the number of biomes right now. Can still easily 10 (maybe more) just add. I guess they just don't have time for that(the transition to a new engine took all the strength and desire). It's a pity they just don't talk about it directly. But the lame excuses, holding us for fools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odetta Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Plains biome + yellow oak trees = Autumn Forrrest. I really hope they at least bring the block back so we can add ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.natural Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I realy do miss the plains biome, That one extra biome made the map so much more variating. Please give it back to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khulkhuum Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I think it would be tons helpful if we had a few additional assets added (trees, plants, maybe some new ground types) which, in sum with every other we have, could allow for further diversification. Like for example you could create: - a new type of mild temperature forest with less hills, but more diverse trees - a new snowy hills area, where trees are scarce, but elevation is high - a new sub biome called oasis, where it sits somewhere in the desert, but has some lush plants, water and a couple trees - a new sub biome called forest clearing, where it would be a big flat space with only grass and plants We could go on and on, but i would love to have some kind of mechanic to define which biomes can be next to which, like snow can be only adjacent to forest and wasteland, desert can be next to forest and burnt, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubikus Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Not only bring plains back, allow modders to use as many different biomes as they want. With different zombie spawns. I heard the reason to reduce biomes was that Joel didn't like how different terrain textures looked when they met each others - I don't even care about different terrain blocks. The above ground decoration makes a biome interesting, and of course the aforementioned zombie population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
