Is anyone talented enough to make an awesome ā€œworld crust exploding biomeā€?

I would do it myself, but I dont know how to make biomes in boundless and submit them

I did some biomes earlier. It would be nice to get some spec for what need to be included in the biomes to submit them.

Some tests:

I just bought another myself, trying the same thing again - Gleam Lake + Sky Pattern is what I think did it there, they appear to have merged in one area causing a massive amount of gleam in one area. :slight_smile: Iā€™ll report how it goes - tested a couple other different ones that I wasnā€™t sure about too. To me, well worth the $10 to try, happy to support the gameā€¦ and as I mentioned over there, my first of this type (T6 toxic), though beautiful, I ruined a good part of the planet with the Trench biome selection.

Anyways, if I manage to get the same result, Iā€™ll be sure to post! :smiley:

LOL, yeahā€¦ take -

To getā€¦

:grin:

Had this right near where I first warped in, might be better elsewhere. But it is basically the same as the other planet - border of gleam lake/sky pattern once again.

Stale red here, btw, not sure if new but may just keep the colors on this one for this billing cycle, since Iā€™ve got the other anyways. :slight_smile:

Edit: Another picā€¦ however, this time Iā€™m going to see the whole thing before setting up the gleam farm, since it is a bit of work. But this spot will be it if nothing better.

Edit again:

Sorry, too good not to shareā€¦ Iā€™m surprised I didnā€™t break itā€¦ :rofl: And this is only a couple regions so farā€¦ (1st pic looking more at what is off in the distance by Houchus there)

Oh, there is one called floating foliage or something like that? TAKE IT!!! :smiley:

It worked out combining with the other two for THIS! :grin: :joy:

Edit: I also took Gleam Spiral, not sure if that played in hereā€¦

Edit: Hey, I see yā€™allā€™s gleam spheresā€¦ and raise ya a GLEAM SPACE WHALE! :smiley: (There is actually a gap with what looks like the head and body - 3rd pic - but it is massive, pretty sure Iā€™ll set my first base up on the foliage island near by and set up a warp to there, especially as emerald looks good nearby)

Can some one with mad biome skills create a gleam cave that goes to max world height with massive full or semi gleam stalagmites and stalactites?

Hmmm. I see what youā€™re doing here lol. Why not have someone re-create the dark glass squares biome with gleam instead :stuck_out_tongue: :smile: :grin:

If anybody else has seen gleam like this, Iā€™d like to know, because it is a first for me - I took the canopy trees simply because I like the look of them. Planet decided I didnā€™t have enough gleam and put it up there too! :rofl:

(That planet name getting changed soon, havenā€™t finalized yet)

There part of me tempted to replicate this with a corrosive just for kicks, maybe will do so laterā€¦ if the devs arenā€™t all :man_facepalming: there now and tweaking their algorithms on this as we speakā€¦ :rofl:

Seriously, you all have to visit this one when I get the portal up, it is literally funny how much it is spread around here.

Are you selecting more biomes than it says, to get them to mix? ie: Select at least 4 level 5 biomes - chooses 6

Nope, kept it to the minimum. Combining the gleam lake with other sky ones seems to be key here for sure, though Iā€™m not sure if and how much gleam spiral plays into it.

Actually, it might be tempting to try with more mountainous biomes - to see if the gleam can merge into an actual mountain (so easier to farm). As much gleam as I have here, really two spots are the ones jumping out as the best farms, many of them have some small gaps. Tons of regular gleam spheres, but for the larger areas.

I donā€™t remember if it was your pic, but someone ended up with big, chonky gleam pancakes in the sky and someone else got floating square mountains in the sky to mix with gleam. Is all of this most likely to happen on a T5/T6 planet, or are these mixing on lower level planets too?

1 Like

Hmm, the pancakes sound like one I ALMOST tried - something like Alien Spaceships? :thinking:

I think a T6 might be best since you can get a T8 biome (T5s donā€™t, IIRC?). Sky Pattern gives a good result.

Might be fun to try a lower level one, even without sky pattern might be able to get the result with others. There is one biome that exos sometimes have, and not high level ones always, that can spawn a LOT of gleam in underground islands. Iā€™m still trying to figure out which one that is. That merging on Gleam Lake could be epic.

For sure what Iā€™m seeing here is that certain biomes kind of meld together on each other. Trick seems to be getting the gleam spheres merged in with the ones that can spread it out a bit more.

Edit: Part of the reason Iā€™m tempted to try again is, I think I MIGHT just do better even than this, not so much on the count but on ease of farming. If any others try to copy what I did here, please let me know! For sure, to sum up:

Gleam Lake + Sky Pattern + Flying/Floating (forget name) Foliage + maybe Gleam Spiral

Ok, because Iā€™ll get a lot of entertainment for my $10, I just did another. :slight_smile: Probably wonā€™t keep it unless it is very special, but in case it is, did T6 Corrosive as an amethyst world might be nice, and theyā€™re pretty. :smiley:

I took out Gleam Spiral, added in Alien Invasion. Took out the gleam lanterns. Left in Sky Pattern, Flying Foliage, and obviously Gleam Lake.

If nothing else, hope to unlock a few colors for you all! :wink:
