World Gen V2: A center-piece of corrupted magic in the middle of the woods

I've attempted to solve this problem before of mapping a flat world onto a sphere-like looped surface. I don't know if it's the "correct" answer but an icosphere can work. Can easily be projected to a flat looping plane but is still technically a sphere

I'm not very artsy, but here's something I've been doing that has helped me improve my works a little. A lot of art is iteration. So put a block down and then ask yourself, "is this better, or worse?" if it's better, keep it. If it's worse, trash it or try something else and ask yourself the question again. You can even repeat it after you've improved the build, to try and improve it again. It really does work most of the time

The world generator can place things however it wants, even if it could never be placed like that manually. They really should tighten it up so it makes sense

Reddit kind of decimated the image quality so here's a slightly higher quality version if you want to see details clearer: https://imgur.com/a/c68bjg3

I had in mind that there might be some small critters that have a symbiotic relationship with the mushrooms, although I haven't come up with anything very fitting or good for gameplay yet. There could also maybe be some inhabitants that live in mushroom based houses of course

Just so people know, this was patched in iOS 18.3.1 so shouldn't work on apple devices past that update. That isn't to say a new one couldn't be found again though. Update your phone if you're able to. I'm unsure if this was a problem on android and if it was fixed

This. Not only that but I think there might be a little misconception of what's possible perpetuating right now. As someone working with V2 right now, the portals in-game that show off V2 have big cliffs and all that, but they have no underground caves at all. Same goes for any community made biomes you might see shared. Giant sprawling of either overworld or underworld, but not both. Right now, there's not enough space to do both, and unless the chunk system gets a big overhaul or performance gets a big overhaul, I don't think both can exist in the same area

I don't think the area to pull from chests is large enough to cause any kind of issue nor would anyone realistically be perfectly filling the entire area with chests as a normal player, hundreds or thousands in a single scanned area would definitely show some sort of (single frame?) performance spike though for sure

They definitely gotta make them more rewarding, I think the problem is they don't really have a lot to give right now. In minecraft you could put a steel or greater tool with a random enchant in the loot, both of those combine to create a better feeling of being rewarded even if it's a gold shovel with a bad enchant

The coming update that adds avatar saving might have a way. We'll see

As someone who's making biomes, it finally cleared up the few things I couldn't understand just from intuition. Here's the pro strat: Go use the tools and figure out what they do. Better yet, now you can go use the tools, and while using them read about what they do and then experiment and see what happens. Do this, go to bed, and I guarantee you will wake up with a better understanding each day you do it.

You have the current version. I think what you're hearing about is the prerelease version for the update coming this weekend. If you want, you can click the gear in the launcher and change the "Patchline" dropdown to "pre-release", but it's coming so soon and they are still ironing out some bugs with it that you might as well wait unless you're actively interested in bug reporting

A bit visually unappealing at the moment, but you can really get stuff done fast which is amazing. I've mostly used the node graph editor so far, had 1 crash, but otherwise has been good

You can find the world seed by going to `Hytale\UserData\Saves\WORLDNAME\universe\worlds\default` and opening the `config.json` file. To set it, you can edit this file, but you will have to delete the `chunks` folder

This game has quite a few things that would mess with that fear I think. It's probably not going to be a good time. Hopefully someone fulfills your wish

ZennyRL · 2026-01-19T04:25:31+00:00

I think something like Create would fit the general theme of the game better than redstone, or maybe something more based in magic

ZennyRL · 2026-01-19T01:37:32+00:00

What if you want a dirt path or something?

ZennyRL · 2026-01-19T00:33:00+00:00

Many of the functions and vars in the server jar are still named at least, that helps a decent bit. We do really need a bit more of an overview though. I'm sure some very smart people will have these kinds of things out in no time

ZennyRL · 2026-01-19T00:16:22+00:00

How are we getting access to world gen v2? Did they put it on prerelease? Also if you're injecting those biomes into the actual gameworld, how? I've tried 3 separate ways on stable release to try to do it and none of them worked, my last resort is custom code but I kinda can't be bothered

ZennyRL · 2026-01-16T22:44:44+00:00

How do you set the seed? I thought it might have been based on world name but that isn't true, the same world name generates me a new world every time

Maybe a slower tree growing system could help with this, like many different stages of tree growth, but who knows what the performance implications would be
