ElCabong 104 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 I'm an explorer, builder, and killer. Not much for socializing. I play a random gen map three maybe four times and then I start a new one. Even though the parts that build up the world are the same, I don't know where they're at. I get to explore all over again. Link to post Share on other sites
Maharin 259 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) I'm hoping TFP adds a lot more options into the built-in random world generator (and speed it up). In the meantime may people have been using alternatives like NitroGen to get even more variety out of their random worlds. Some of what NitroGen does can be duplicated with changes to the XML files but a lot of it can't, and it is a LOT faster. You can create an entire 4k map in a minute and an 8k map in less than 5 minutes (much less is most cases). Edited January 11 by Maharin (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
Jeraal 67 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Given the new slooowww progression and time to generate, starting a new vanilla world is less than appealing. NitroGen helps with some of that. In previous alphas, I would restart often. Link to post Share on other sites
ElCabong 104 Posted January 11 Author Share Posted January 11 Oh it takes a long time. I do something else. I think the last one I made I got up and went to the bathroom then I started a cake. Lol Link to post Share on other sites
Spuder 11 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Random gen updates in A20 will give us so many more options similar to nitro. They also said they’re working on the maps generate 1 min per square KM. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing what was meant was 4 minutes for a 4k map, 8 minutes for an 8k map? Which is a lot faster than it is now but still a lot slower than NitroGen. Link to post Share on other sites
