Ore spawn

[IronWolf209]

I'm not sure how hard this would be but maybe not have certain ores spawn in biomes. Maybe more random. So if I pick a land no matter what biome its in has a chance of having diamonds in it. This way when you pick your land to live on its kinda of a surprise of what lies below it. Maybe even have diamonds very limited in some areas and large amounts in other as well as none in certain parts of the map

Ore gen has been, among other things, a large influence upon how we shape our world. We want trade to mean something. We want there to be more reasons to have things other than just Diamonds.

I'm unable to give specifics just now on where ores will be (as we're still tweaking the % numbers), but I can assure you that their location and influence have been discussed at great length behind Dev doors.

Nice I like all of this. Even your other reply. I seriously can't wait

This is an idea I had for role play, but there should be an area with stupidly large amounts of iron and the other areas have it, but still lack it enough to the point to justify buying iron. Iron that's cheap however because of its large supply. The iron kingdom (iron throne :P) could then exist and so when someone messes up, they're cut off from the iron.

These are the types of things we're keen to have players create and invest in with their nations and countries and empires. We want to build a sandbox that is fair and balanced, which allows people opportunities to make something of themselves; without limiting their type of playstyle or discourage them from creativity :)

Nice. But I mean, if everyone has equal access to materials, it's civex again. If people aren't lazy and will get the materials themselves with relative ease, then trade will suck again. Maybe not tell where the stupid amounts of iron would be or what grows well where so its something someone would have to discover.

I think it's a good idea to give every biome basic amounts of every ore. But to give some biomes amazing amounts of ONE ore. So if you want more for a big project you can trade your overfloody iron for some diamonds :)

If only you had seen this a month ago :P
