Testing 246: Creative Worlds!

Well I’m not sure if they are “locked” but each planet tier does have a count of select biome types that are applied. Best words I can find right now to explain it so it might not be perfectly explained.

I think it’s pretty well explained via the categories here but please let me know if that’s not the case…

But, World Builder is a manual tool and not “integrated” into user selection of Private planets nor any planet generation currently in an automated fashion (basically speaking). And likely it will not be until they are able to rewrite World Builder so it can work within the game.

Does this mean they are working on a different tool outside of World Builder before Release 247? Or are they reworking World Builder before release 247? Because I know it’s a manual tool but I also know @lucadeltodecso said all of the worlds are generated using it.

I’ve talked to James specifically about this stuff so what I was trying to share is that while it might be a flip in WB it does not mean that it is an “easy flip” for the players to use it inside the game.

WB worlds can’t actually be launched outside of the visualization tools afaik. So it’s not so much that it’s not an easy flip for players as much as it is an impossible flip for players (again, afaik).

Plus when you take how long a planet takes to build on a 16 core/32gb ram machine versus the likely 1 core/1gb server we will run, it is a challenge.

Yep, Ross shared some of that challenge here.
