When you purchase a world you will be able to control its generation. You will have the simple option of selecting from a standard collection of predefined world configs, or you can select the advanced option. On Sovereign Worlds you will be able to select the individual biomes, within some limitations to keep the worlds fair and consistent within the main universe.

I am VERY happy to see this finally communicated and that you all did take the time to implement my suggestion.

When I pitched it, I felt a community contest of the “best biome” picture should be made available. I think the program you all wrote to take the pictures probably did a good job but I still hope maybe you would consider allowing people to submit Biome shots… well maybe we just have to wait to see how the pictures look.

Any way we can have a name for each of these so we know what we are looking at?

Be aware that some of the names don’t make much sense. I do agree we need some way to see the biome list on the planets in the game and that a name might help.

Thank you for the update & Happy #2!!!

So, Monday rental planets & thursday the bday party starts?

There are two reasons I’m a little glad the celebration won’t start until next Thurs…it would be awkward for some of us to celebrate something today & it will give those that don’t get rentals some fun activities/Exo/items/etc.

Can’t wait to see the fabulous new dance emotes!!!

People get a whole catalog of biomes to select from! Wishes granted!! A lot of players will be super happy about this.

Happy birthday, Boundless. <3 I wish I had more time in life to enjoy you, but it’s wonderful knowing you’ll still be there when I do.

I don’t care if the name does not make any sense. Basically I look at at the picture and decide if I like the biome or not. Having a name to associate it with will make the selection process quicker and easier.

Sweet! Any idea how many biomes one planet can have? Do we get to assign biomes to specific regions or does it auto generate the planet based on available biomes?

Thank you thank you thank you

[molav]

If I wanted to recreate endor from starwars and have ewok villages or a forest elf city in tall trees, would I be allowed to have multiple of the same biome selected so I could create massive tree forests?

Or will we be limited to selecting each biome only once?

I’d really like to create half world forests that are massive

Oh and also, can we select to have goo grow on our planet?

@james @SamF

[DutchOfSorissi]

What ya really need is the tall tree biome on top of the fat tree biome

Also want to add that I’m excited beyond measure for this! Just as I had thought creative mode was years away, until today I thought choosing biomes would be. You devs are wizards.

Edit 2: Just noticed this also applies as a reply to @molav above

[FlyingAces]

Who thought today was going to be the day of this post? I didn’t. Super exciting!!!

@molav

wild goo can still only be found on Exo worlds, however you can cultivate and grow goo froom seeds

[Clexarews]

This is probably a question for the FAQ but I’m too curious and impatient…will the profiles be restricted to those the public worlds have now? Will profiles only be something creative world owners can select?

[majorvex]

I’d imagine it will match the tier of the planet - I dunno which tiers we will be able to select.

@rossstephens If wild goo won’t be available on Sov planets, does that go for lucent gems/petrolim/resin too?

[Clexarews]

Yep but most tiers get more than 1 profile. Afaik there’s an up-to-date list under point 2 of this post. The OP details of this thread make it seem like profile selection is only something creative world owners can do:

@SamF

On Sovereign Worlds you will be able to select the individual biomes, within some limitations to keep the worlds fair and consistent within the main universe. On Creative Worlds you are free to select any biome, any resource profile, and more.

Does that mean if I want a T6 corrosive I have to just roll the dice as profile will be selected randomly? Like I said, might just be a question for the FAQ.

[Tagris]

I think this means, if you want to create an Emerald planet with tons of Ocean, or something, then you can’t.

There will likely be certain restrictions to keep balance of the land/ocean/gem creation. So you can’t make the ‘perfect’ farm planet for a resource by manipulating the biomes to be a certain type/teir.

Just how I read it.

If you’re asking if you’ll be able to over-saturate your Sov planet with a certain resource (ie diamonds), I doubt it - since that wouldn’t follow the rules of the other survival planets. Sounds like you can do whatever you want with Creative planets though. We’re all looking forward to the FAQ for sure
