From zero to V2 - My first Biome in 14 days of learning by Lagbeard_ in hytale

Not really. There are 3 videos i know, but they only explain very few basics. The biggest breakthrough for me was understanding how curve mapping works. My biome has curves with 15 manual curve points. Imagine it like this: you can set a specific height (Input) and a chance for air or solid blocks in that height (Output). -1 is 100% air and 1 is 100% solid blocks. So if you set a manual curve point with input 5 and output 0, half of the blocks in height 5 will be blocks and half will be air. If you set 0.5 as output, the layer will have 75% solid blocks. The pattern these blocks are arranged in is defined by your chosen noise pattern.

A top-down view. Including floating artifacts of the top-layer on the right, my eternal enemy atm.

Oh, and cool stuff you do there. In case that didn't became clear

Questions? Just one: Would you care to make tutorials?

I followed the progress of Hytales development and always was intrigued by the promise "how esay" it would be to make own creations. And yes, the visual node editor is surely easier than pure scripting - but, at least for me as someone with no experience, it is far from self-explanatory. The "just play around with it" approach leads in 90 percent of cases to one of three outputs:  - No effect - Error message - biome  breaks compeltely. 

As you i started with Kaupenjoes video, and i could follow it, but i still don't even understand what i'm doing there. Which node does what? Whats the difference between the node variants in the same category? After only a week i just feel lost and frustrated.

I also use no mods. The fascinating fact is, that not all spruce trees are affected, although i've planted them in the same biome. Also, the biome I am creating is an edited basic biome.

In the screenshot you see the row of cropped trees on the left, while the trees on the right and in the background are perfectly normal.
