Each world type has its own profile: resources available, atmosphere type, color palettes and most likely also prefabs and biomes (judging by how certain terrain types repeat on the same type worlds).
So, if you like a biome you have seen somewhere, make sure you know what type of world it appeared on and go for the same type of sovereign world. You will have a chance to get that biome then.
I think itās the closest to customizing you can get at this moment - just give yourself a chance of colors or biomes you want by picking right world type (profile).
The profile and lighting are tied to the world node. I believe profile only has to do with the resource distribution (full list can be found at the bottom of this post). As you can see, biomes have a spot in the generator which is separate from the profile.
Also for the trailer, @BabyCookie, do you mean this one?
however - certain biomes donāt appear on tier 1 or 2 but do on tier 5-6; so they seem to group biomes by world tier? and then world builder would pick from only certain number of biomes depending on world profile? so kinda not direct but indirect relationship between world profile and available biomesā¦
So it may be you can stack a biome profile on the resource profile - I was hoping that might be the case based on the post made about the āAridā world type? Perhaps being able to pick, say T6 Burn (resource profile) + Arid world type? Would make a huge difference if trying to get resources of certain sorts - seen MASSIVE differences in things like gem totals on exos of the same types. Depends on the terrain, which determines resources. Personally hoping there will be a water profile I can stack on a T6 Toxic (lots of emerald/amethyst). But then, they might judge it to be a little OPāed if we can do that. Iāll still probably try if not but it would sure load the dice more our way to roll it picking a biome profile.
Agreed, it would be helpful to be able to do that. Not sure how much of this stuff theyāll let us pick but would love to know.
As you probably saw in my response to boundmore itās possible to use whatever biomes you want within the world builder itself, regardless of profile. Iām not sure what Ross meant when he said arid but Iām guessing it has to do with temperature, humidity, and vegation (none of which Iāve messed with or know much about) combined with certain biomes and prefabs.
If they confirm we can have input on types of biomes Iād be happy to take the hours required to make a big post with a full list and visualization of the different pre-made biomes, just so people can make an informed decision. However Iām definitely not going to waste the time doing that if all we get to pick is the profile and we donāt get biome control
@Clexarews - The one on top, those stone barrens filled with potholes like around TNT Kolā¦ though there have been some exos with a sort of exaggerated version (not barren though) that are even worse, now that I think about it, where Iāll be walking along screenshotting and fall to my death from lack of attention.
Well, Nice Paka IS sort of building a floating island paradise now! ā¦ Or a floating massive eyesore, depending on your tastes, I supposeā¦
Anyways, mentioned before, but it is the biomes Iām likely to drop a little money on trying to get a good profile for myself, for my gem worldā¦ looking at it as a long-term investment, if I roll a great one first, perfect, will stick with that, but if it looks like I have only 20k total emeralds (or tiny hotspots if I canāt scan) in lava pits, that isnāt really worth keeping for my purposes. It will be a little footwork to scout of course, unless can get the scanner on it right away to pull the totals. If we canāt pick and they put a very low limit on how many we can do, that might back me off trying a gem type, but still may give it a shot.
