Snow Biome Map Seed?

[DaveyLeo10]

Hi

 

New to PC 7D2D after playing it on console for the past year. Extremely impressed so far but I haven't been able to find a map seed with an extensive snow biome. I'm hoping somebody has a seed that has what I'm looking for.

 

I know there isn't a map mostly comprised of snow biome but from using the map generator tool it's always very scattered and usually barren.

 

A small snowy part of the map with a few towns in there would be perfect!

Im just curious as to why you want this type of environment? Is it because of Nitrate? There's a seed thread in the general forums: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?64073-new-random-gen-world-seeds-for-ALPHA-16

With a small edit (that makes the biomes larger) i suggest this Seed.

I Testplay on it and the Snow biome is really nice

There's a thread in the morning section about covering the entire map in a single biome type.

What is crazy, because no aloe, or no snow, or no whatever. Woudnt reduce the other biomes to zero, instead i would set them to only around 1%

[DaveyLeo10]

It's mainly just because I like the look of the biome. The environment feels more challenging to.

	</biome_spawn_rule>

	<biome_spawn_rule name="snow">

	</biome_spawn_rule>

</biome_spawn_rules>

If you are using vanilla, you can also change the biome gen in rwg to terrain gen. Terrain control goes according to height map, Biome goes according to distace from center and voronoi puzzle pieces. I use the terrain because you get to keep resource areas, but they are generated like the layers of earth you see in desert. After you gen in viewer and see main biome just switch name with the biome you like. Example if wasteland is main one generated just switch it with snow.

Will try that.

 

Thanks!

I tried messing with the XML file as above I would like to have a map of 95% snow can anyone advise how to do this with the code above? I messed with it but i kept screwing up. Also is there a way to generate it with large cities or to increase all cities by at minimum 75-100% I am looking fora nuclear winter theme?

[Crater Creator]

Yes. Set the biome generator range for snow to "0,0.95" and fill out the other biomes so they all add up to exactly 1. Make cities bigger by increasing their width and height values in the hub_rules section, and put them closer together by decreasing the cell size. You'll start having performance issues if you go too far on either of these.

 

I'm moving this over to the modding forum.

Also useful in terms of more/bigger cities is making the world flatter. Cities grow up to their hub-size when and where not constrained by terrain. They will do some flattening themselves, but extreme elevation shifts will constrain them, as will water.

 

To quote StompyNZ from a post a while back:

 

In rwg mixer:

 

<module name="scaleBiasOutput" type="ScaleBiasOutput">

<property name="sourceModule" value="finalLand"/>

<property name="scale" value="255"/>

</module>

 

 

change the scale. 1-255 where the higher the number the higer the peaks can go etc... 1 gives an almost flat world, and thats what's needed to spawn big cities

 

Setting it to 1 isn't a good idea, as it ends up -really- flat which can weirdly end up messing with hubs too for some reason. For maximized cities, a number between 30 and 50 is generally recommended, along with increasing hub size or decreasing cell size.

 

It is -also- possible to create a world with wide, open, flat areas that still has mountain ranges that are more concentrated, so you have room for large cities but also still have tall mountains, but it's a lot more involved. Tin's Dying Lands is the best example of that being done, though he also made his own unique biomes and has minimal snow(only on mountain tops), and his rwgmixer is -complicated-, so it might not be the best template.

[dreamdancer]

And for nuclear winter you could always try the Merry Comsens mod. It has more snow than you could possibly ever hope for.

Oh but there is a mod completely dedicated to the snow biome : https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?78669-POC-Merry-ComSens-A-7-Days-to-Die-Winter-Project-Mod

 

It's definitely very tricky to play, but it's possible to survive in this world.

This is what the Winter Project uses, except no forest biome and other tweaks, so it's very effective.
