Posted January 5, 2020 Retrograde advised that: "According to the code rifts need to be 40 tiles from water and greater than 1 height from water, and steepness less than 10 without structures or deeds, no mention of tundra." Suggestion: the code for rifts be amended to include not being anywhere near tundra. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 5, 2020 isn't tundra coded to spread fast when majority of tiles surrounding dirt are tundra to help patch itself up after rifts already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 5, 2020 i think its all good as it is. tundra tiles patch itself up quite fast. i also think removing rift spawns from tundras would just cause more demands, like "code so rifts dont spawn on the slope of mountains etc hard to reach places". rifts spawn random locations, end of story.

Posted January 5, 2020 It took months of hard work by several players to restore the tundra on Mount Tundra. Having rifts destroy that hard work really is not acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 5, 2020 For me, it would be ok not to spawn rifts on tundra. It's rare area anyway, so shouldn't affect the spawn locations by much. I feel for Baloo's claim as she put a ton of work into restoring original Tundra Mountain on Exodus. However if so, this would have to be smartly coded, so that players wouldn't use single tiles of tundra to prevent rifts over large otherwise-covered areas. This could be disruptive.

Posted January 5, 2020 Tundra does spread much faster now and there is a transmutation liquid that creates tundra as well, it also uses a lot less of the liquid to change a tile Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 5, 2020 1 hour ago, Retrograde said: Tundra does spread much faster now and there is a transmutation liquid that creates tundra as well, it also uses a lot less of the liquid to change a tile bit off topic... Can you tell me, Retro, if there are numeral tundra tiles on the same area, does lingonberry spawn on them? or it does only spawn when lingonberries are already in the area. basically, if you craft 50x50 tundra, would they spawn it in?

Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) I'm not sure if this addresses your concern, Baloo - but our last rift on Pristine spawned on top of Tundra, the opening of the rift did not convert the tundra tiles to dirt. Grass tiles within the tundra area did convert to dirt, but the tundra itself was unaffected. Edited January 5, 2020 by Sidereal 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 5, 2020 or make rifts to not terraform tundra and the tiles.. just make rift resources spawn on tundra and to not chance tiles on spawn or when resources are collected... e-z ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Sidereal - we shall see the damage after tomorrow's exodus rift.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 7, 2020 While I sympathise with lost effort, ultimately, why should tundra be any different from other terrains? If you really want to lock it down an area, you can deed it - that prevents rifts entirely too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 7, 2020 Does tundra spread to dirt? If not, allowing it to do so sounds like a better suggestion than further restricting rifts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 8, 2020 Well, I am pleased to report that not a great deal of damage was done to Mount Tundra by the last rift. There was some and I had to do some more to flatten some of the rift lumps and bumps, but the tundra will grow back - eventually - in a few months' (not days' or weeks') time. Maybe the suggestion should be that rifts do not have lumps, bumps and dips - are those really necessary? They just cause huge terrain damage and take ages to find and fix them all - no matter what the terrain is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
