More Vanilla Biomes

I think there is is significant difference in the looks. Trees from the Odyssey Grasslands are the same as the ones in the temperate biome, just more scarse. The main theme is the goldern grass, windy (which increases the energy output form the wind turbines and no geysers to be found on the map. It also will NOT spawn on mountain tiles. However, they can both coexist as they are currently. Oh, and the animal generation in yours is a little different, cant really explain exactly how. Seems like yours has more large animal herds on the typical day like elephants and hippos, which are a little more rare on the Odyssey one.

Savannah, Prairie, Plains

I'll definitely take ideas! I still need to do a deep dive into Odyssey to get a good feel for the new biomes, and for the new animals that got added.

The inspiration for MVBs grasslands was more "lion King" than "little house on the prairie" so I'm currently I'm hoping to lean more into a "savanah" vibe. That depends on Odyssey's grassland, obviously - if they went hard in that direction and I can't differentiate, I'll do something else with it.
@Zylleon could i throw you an idea? What if it was renamed "Tallgrass prairie" and a lot of prairie dogs (if Odyssey enabled), bunnies, guinea pigs, muffalo and other prairie animals like to spawn there. It could be a lusher version of the grassland maybe. Well just a thought, at least i would love that.
Zylleon  [author] 13 Jul @ 8:37pm 
No, both spawn. I will be renaming Grasslands to something more distinct and possibly making some adjustments to reduce overlap. In the meantime, you can disable Grasslands in the settings if you like
Does this mods grassland affect the odyssey grassland?

Dealer - thanks!

Alpine meadown does appear, but it has the same brown colour as boreal forest instead of its flashy bright green with yellow dots.
Zylleon  [author] 13 Jul @ 10:26am 
tanyfilina - the mountainous biomes being surrounded by plains v mountains is coincidence, the spawns were never restricted in that way

Tatara - confirmed, thanks for the heads up! I'll need to review the biomeworkers in this mod
Tatara 13 Jul @ 7:14am 
The alpine meadows don't appear. At least that's my impression.
tanyfilina 13 Jul @ 12:32am 
Something seems wrong with biomes placement. I think previously mountainous biomes were spawned inside the mountain massives, being surrounded by mountains. Now they spawn still on mountain tiles, but can be surrounded by plains.
Jotbe83 12 Jul @ 7:06am 
Alright!
Zylleon  [author] 11 Jul @ 10:38am 
Hit me up on discord and I'll share all my biome-modding knowledge and tools :D
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 10:35am 
I found the defs

ODDYSEY BIOMES

GLACIAL PLAIN - Mb, but its very simmilar to glacial shield
GLOWFOREST
GRASSLANDS
LAVAFIELD
SCARLANDS
SPACE

Where did you learn biome modding? i'd like to learn it
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 10:32am 
Anyways uh let me check actually.
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 10:32am 
if you bought the DLC you must restarts team since there's been an error or smth
Zylleon  [author] 11 Jul @ 10:18am 
All questions about DLC compatability may have to wait. Steam hasn't been letting me buy the DLC this morning, so I can' t actually look at it to answer anything.

Can you confirm that the new biomes are named the same, Grasslands and Glacial Shield? Are there others I should know about?
ObscureParticle 11 Jul @ 9:43am 
Can confirm what Jotbe83 is saying. The Grassland biome from the Odyssey DLC will not spawn if this mod is installed. Any chance you could make it compatible?
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 8:46am 
I made mistake, not base game but its in the oddysey DLC now, appearing near deserts as savannas mostly
Zylleon  [author] 11 Jul @ 8:35am 
Can you explain what you mean? I don't see defs in Core for anything resembling either of those biomes, nor do I see them on the world map when generating a world. What are the base game equivalents called?
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 7:06am 
since grasslands in base game now, along with glacial shield
Jotbe83 11 Jul @ 7:06am 
yo won't grasslands have to be removed
Zylleon  [author] 9 Jul @ 9:16am 
Check and let me know if it needs a patch
shadowblade 6 Jul @ 6:29pm 
does it work with mythology animals?
Zylleon  [author] 6 Jul @ 8:28am 
Yep!
storminfinte 5 Jul @ 8:37pm 
When Odyssey releases, do you plan on patching this mod for it?
Zylleon  [author] 25 Jun @ 7:35am 
That's really weird, did you add any other mods around the same time, or are you using anything that could affect map generation (especially ruins)?

This mod shouldn't have any code that would affect structures or items on the map, or that would change wealth value of anything.
[Otter] 24 Jun @ 11:46am 
Hello, thanks for updating! I have noticed something unusual when starting in one of the added biomes. (Have tried the cloud forest one and the alpine one I believe.)

Colony wealth buildings starts between 800k-1million. In comparison a tropical rainforest vanilla biome starts at 150k~

Is this intentional?
Proxyer 23 Jun @ 12:01am 
Hi Zylleon, I update the Japanese translation for v1.6 (change ZBiome_Iceberg_NoBeach.label, Iceberg to ice floes). So I sent Pull request from GitHub. Please confirm and merge.
Thank you.
Proxyer 22 Jun @ 8:13pm 
Wow! Thank you for update works! :lunar2019wavingpig:
Zylleon  [author] 22 Jun @ 5:46pm 
Updated for 1.6
Big Head Zach 21 Jun @ 4:54am 
Eleventy-billion grasslands lol
Zylleon  [author] 20 Jun @ 10:51am 
I'm not sure that 1.6 adds any biomes to Core, I think it's all in Odyssey. Either way, I'll be working on updating this soon!
tanyfilina 19 Jun @ 10:12pm 
I don't think this mod is unnecessary with 1.6. It adds some nice biomes not covered there, specifically, mountain biomes like Cloud Forests and Alpine Meadows. Maybe new map features in 1.6 would make it possible for even more interesting new biomes in this mod instead of those covered in the DLC now!
Zylleon  [author] 11 Jun @ 4:58pm 
Updated with the last 1.5 release!
The auto-patcher broke and wasn't fixable. It has been removed, and replaced with xml patches. Full list of patched mods is in the description.

Ok, after some testing, its even in vanilla, something else is bugging water, i will let u know once i find out
SiaNKs 16 Feb @ 12:57pm 
xd even concrete foundation disappears ...
SiaNKs 16 Feb @ 12:56pm 
Also i tried to place soil with Developer Mode on and same issue
SiaNKs 16 Feb @ 12:54pm 
Problem, while playing Desert Oasis, i found out i cant Dry out shallow water, the pump's progress is being saved but now and then whole area that got dry gets flooded for like 2s and then becomes dry again. I didnt dry whole lake YET, but also got another mod Soil Relocation Continued and even with this mod, when i place soil on water game see it as soil + water, then after few seconds soil gets covered with water like it would disappear. I got ReGrowth, this, Geological Landforms, Water Freezes, Soil relocation as mod's that impact map in major way. Idk if its only on Desert Oasis cause didnt played other places yet, but its worth looking into it (yeah i was testing it in God Mode, so its not like i tried to fill it once, or didnt try to play around)
Zylleon  [author] 7 Feb @ 8:21am 
Yes, they will work together
SiaNKs 6 Feb @ 3:46pm 
is it working fine with Geological Landforms? I added it in, and tbh never looked if there are extra Vanilla bioms cause i thought these two work perfectly. Now that i went back to description i see theres no mentioning of it
Zylleon  [author] 6 Feb @ 2:32pm 
You can disable any biomes you don't want
darkace77450 6 Feb @ 12:46pm 
Out of curiosity, does the mod offer the option to enable/disable individual biomes, or is it an all-or-nothing package?
Zylleon  [author] 13 Nov, 2024 @ 1:18pm 
I haven't been able to make good river Delta maps. Tried for a while with Map Designer, never got good results. Otherwise I would!
Mark Bobaba 13 Nov, 2024 @ 2:18am 
Do you think you could add like a marshy delta biome when a river is next to the ocean? Love this mod though!!
Zylleon  [author] 6 Nov, 2024 @ 4:17pm 
Another mod must be interfering with faction placement. I've used both mods together many times, and a quick test shows that faction placement is still as expected with MO and MVB both enabled: https://imgur.com/Hsstxtd

Do you have anything in the error log that would indicate a conflict?
Calel200 6 Nov, 2024 @ 8:30am 
Hey man your mod is not compatible with medieval overhaul , just saying cuse I love your mod and I want to try the medieval overhaul with your mod , but all factions only spaw on this mod biomes , so if you can fix this... Thanks
Zylleon  [author] 16 Oct, 2024 @ 11:36am 
Yes
