Pharaun Mizzrym 13 Posted March 20, 2018 What do I do to get a cave to spawn when creating a world in the editor? Are caves random spawns or do they appear in every island creation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz Foobar 102 Posted March 20, 2018 No caves or random scenarios in editor-generated maps. No protection barriers or navigating by birds either apparently. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Err, then how am I playing a cave in a Multiplayer? You have to generate the world before you can host it. I'm confused. Let me rephrase. How do I host an island with a cave in it?

I'm confused. Let me rephrase. How do I host an island with a cave in it? There is a difference between regular MP generated maps and editor-generated maps. One is done by the game holistically, the other is done by the editor with tweakable parameters. If you want a multiplayer map with caves, you have to go with the former (or build your own caves in the latter). Edited March 21, 2018 by Baz Foobar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pharaun Mizzrym 13 Posted March 21, 2018 Okay well this can just be moved on over to the SUGGESTIONS I guess. Dah why would we not want to generate caves in editor mode? And that now explains why all the multiplayer maps are so copy-n-paste boring the same thing with no surprises from editing. Wait, what if I generate a world in Multiplayer mode first and then take it to the editor mode and then put it back in Multiplayer mode after editing it? Would that give me a cave I could edit?

The editor, I presume, is not yet feature-complete and lacks functionality that we'll eventually have at release (at least I hope so, otherwise it is such a missed opportunity). But yes, you can take any saved game (single player, multiplayer, doesn't matter) and open it within the editor to perform further edits, save it, then have your MP server continue to serve up that world with your modifications. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
