If you regen the planet do you loose your builds and start over? Or do they stay?
doesnāt regen work the same as anywhere else ?
Yup, same as public planets. Anything protected by a beacon doesnāt regen.
Changing the colour palette doesnāt regen the world either.
Iām not sure if thatās what youāre asking though.

That is 
thank you! I was hoping that would be the case.
I do have a related question if you donāt mind. I didnāt test it when I had a planet - does changing the planet colors later affect plotted bits of nature ?
changing the colours wont affect any blocks placed by a player

so those ānatureā blocks that werenāt placed by a player and are inside my plotted area will change color accordingly ?

Yup, anything that is not player placed will change, even stuff in beaconsā¦

Do all blocks keep their position upon changing the color palette / world regen? Or do I need to be afraid of suddenly having my home within a mountain? ^^ (cause some trees went missing in the second screenie)

good, good. thanks 
so if I understand it correctly. any nature block has color parameter ā0ā and whatever 0 is displayed as is determined by global settingsā¦ then I could build a structure made of generated cobblestone (lava+ other liquid) (or alternatively ice made by solidifying) that will change its color with natureā¦ interesting (if it works as I think it does)

Changing the colour palette is essentially just a reassigning of colour id and a redraw call (afaik), it doesnāt trigger any sort of regen on the world at all.
Just to addā¦ the tree were still there, I was just too fast pressing the screenshot button before the world had finished redrawing the more distant terrain

cool, thanks for that fast reply! <3

As I understand it (in basic terms), the worlds donāt store all data - only the data for blocks changed, so anything that is not in itās natural state is flagged as a change (including type changing, solidifying etc.) and is then prone to regen if not plotted. These blocks would not change when you change the world colour palette.

huh. I thought that such blocks are created having the ālocalā color. ā¦would be 1 less step to make it ālocalā instead of finding out what ālocalā means

They will take on the natural (default) colour yes, but the natural state of the block will have been changed.

Iām still not entirely convinced, but Iāll leave it be now, I promise 
ā¦IF the block appears with color not specified (therefore local)ā¦ if I was that block Iād be like that

A good way to test is to set up a 1+ plot beacon with a mix of terrain in it and perform some tests - maybe solidify a block of water, place lava on grass, type change from silty soil to peaty etc.
Anything that is returned in the reclaim (or turned to ash in the plot) is a āchangedā block which is no longer in itās original state.
Those are the blocks that the colour palette will not affect.

@Stretchious, would you mind testing one thing for me? Rather than placing a block see if simply changing the block protects it from the color change? Just out of curiosity. So change it from silty or peaty to something else.
