I’m pretty it can happen both when godot and the patchmap get updated, but it doesn’t necessarily have to happen with the former I think.

[punctdan]

It usually depends on the mechanics they want to update in a Godot update. If it’s mostly graphics, world generation probably wouldn’t change much.

In major updates however the worldgen code is likely to be affected in a larger way.

[hhyyrylainen]

I expect there to be 0 engine updates that would affect the Thrive world generation. It would be extremely concerning if that caused any changes because the world generation is our own C# algorithm that as far as I remember doesn’t use any Godot features at all.

Good to know that.

Related to this world topic for some reason I’ve been lately constantly getting shallow vent starts in my runs. Has this also been the case for anyone else?

60-patch worlds are possible! I unfortunately missclicked and could not record it.

How many tries to get that one?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

I do not remember how many clicks. I remember it took an hour of clicking.

I suppose that means like, multiple thousand? Dozen thousand maybe even?

Found a planet with a small ocean only 80 metres deep. For some reason the bottom still doesn’t have sunlight though. The Estuaries are also deeper than the ocean for some reason.

@Animalia

For some reason the bottom still doesn’t have sunlight though.

Probably because the vents aren’t supposed to be lighted so they’re locked to being dark instead

[Animalia (Matti)]

Lux should be dictated by depth rather than biome type, it would make more sense.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I am pretty sure it is already defined by both

[Animalia (Matti)]

The biome type seems to override depth in dictating how much light there is in the patch, though.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Well the developers may simply not be interested in changing this aspect right now, especially as for most worlds the vents will be too deep for the light to reach them anyway

[Poodelicus (Crazy, Curious, and Stubborn)]

IRL, Shallow Water Hydrothermal Vents are a thing. They are less studied because they tend to have less unique ecosystems than the Deep Water variants, but they do sometimes have vent exclusive organisms.

Aren’t those the white smokers?

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

All we need now are Gyser/Hotspring biomes in Thrive.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Would those be mere biome features in macro+?

[hhyyrylainen]

If anyone wants this changed, they need to code the patch themselves.
