Better Biomes for 7D2D v. 1.3.1

[BatShevaSida]

This looks like an awesome mod. But this should be the norm, not as an added mod. Please check the video, its absolutely gorgeous. Really nice. video of the different biomes. Come FunPimps. You can do it. Perhaps even give the option of making this during map generation, or to exclude during map generation. So many will love this mod.  I would use this mod, but its got to be client side loaded as well and many prefer to run their servers with serverside mods only when you run eac enabled server.  I once had a server that was not eac enabled and I had some @%$# that was able to put himself in god mode and just stood there while zombies attacked it. so cant do that again. But boy, this mod, would love for funpimps to level up on the way the biomes look. Just watch the video. 



















Maybe, you will create something similar. Love the butterflies in the video. I love this game primarily because it feels real and that its voxel so you feel like you can dig into the ground like in real life. You have done such a wonderful job. I have close to 7k hours for this game and keep coming back to it. Would just love to see more biome upgrades.

That mod does look nice, but as with other similar kinds of mods, it causes performance problems for a lot of people, even with lowered settings.  I think vanilla will remain more bare for that reason.  Those who want it and can handle it can use the mod if they are on PC.  I think the have will be at least somewhat improved in 2.0 with how they will be grouping trees and stuff together instead of spread out so much.  But you will still not have as many kinds of trees and plants.

I do agree it looks great, though.

Ah yes I would love to see a light version like this in the base game

Not really hey, if you can replace some of the grass with ferns, and some trees with fallen trees or a different tree, maybe not as densely populated at in the video, maybe it will add a bit more but hopefully not much. we have better engines now, so, perhaps they can look into it?

I assume you're referring to the engine that the game is built on? Certainly! But migrating a game to a new engine is a massive undertaking and would cost not only months upon months of time but also tons of money. Sure it would be nice, but I'm all for these ideas getting pushed to the supposed 7DTD sequel.

If need be. Perhaps

For some cinematic adventure game, sure. And even then, if the artstyle is not photorealistic but just consistent and coherent it would imersive enough.
Also: The more realistic the art gets, the worse minor odities are.

But this is a voxel game and I hope they keep prioritising performance and mechanics over realism with a coherent art. It's already taxing enough on your system as it is.

I wouldn't mind the props but nit the density

Hi, update, been running a 6K map with the Better Biome mod and Urban decay mod, had up to 6 players and so far so good. Had no problems and no lag that is reported. Also we don't run the most powerful machine for our server. So I can highly recommend that FunPimps pull finger and give us more variety in fauna and better Urban decay type of pois. It is so beautiful. Its almost painful to play in a server without.

I see that's coming in Storms Brewing update. I guess we'll see how much variety there actually is, but density is the issue. It can't be too dense, else the performance issues we're having now will be that much worse.
