PC Will we ever see Rivers and Water Biomes again? (And RWG inquiries)

I miss the Rivers and Water Biomes of Pre-A17.

I used to love following a coast and seeing where it would take me and seeing the Hillside coastal Lodges out in the distance.

Prior to A17, I felt like each seed was vastly different from each other.

The RWG doesn't appear random at all anymore and seems incredibly formulaic and patterned, with Biomes taking on predictable Geometric shapes quilted together with major roads blocked out evenly between cities.

No matter what Seed I put in to the RWG, the maps all look very similar to each other and within 5 minutes of being in a world, I spot the pattern and it just breaks the immersion for me.

I've been away from the game for a while and I've seen many many many improvements, but I've always been someone who's been more interested in the world I'm jumping in to.

Is there any chance the elements of the old RWG may see a return in their chaotic beauty, or is the current RWG here to stay?

Thanks!

 
A 17.3 has made it even worse too!

At least in 17.2 the Biomes were large. now the biomes are patched together. In one city you may be walking through 2-4 biomes. Makes no sense at all.

 
Only roads and POI mix was patched into 17.3. The full new RWG will have to wait for A18. We’ve already been shown screenshots of rivers and lakes with naturally eroded banks so they will be back.

just a quick reminder that A17 has already been out for half a year.

 
Time flies by fast when you're having fun... :02.47-tranquillity:
I do like telling the devs that they f***ed up... that is indeed fun ^^

But A17 was only 20 hours for me (usually 150-200 sometimes even more) so yeah... that definatly didnt help ^^

You also enjoy bitching about about how the moon landing was faked, and once had a long debate with a "DO NOT ENTER" sign. You're just full of....street cred.

Pfff. That is public knowledge by now. I tell you! Them reptiles below the earths crust are the most obvious truth nobody wants to see!

How else would you explain global warming? Pfff stay away with them scifacts, they just heat up the planet so they can return to the surface because they are reptiles and warmblooded.

For all we know this "Morloc" is a reptile here to stray us from the path of TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!

Just "TRUTH" (I'm actually pretty down with "RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!").

I am super excited for rivers to come back. So many 17.3 seeds I have had are nearly devoid of water entirely.
Yes, the A18 shots Madmole have posts of the rivers and lakes have been nothing short of eye-wateringly fantabulous.

Very!!!! much looking forward to it.
