Quick question, does anybody know a way to mod the growing season of my game? In my game (tropical rain-forest) it's almost all year long, I'd like to bring it back a notch. I've looked in the source code but am unable to find the right term.

So I just applied Tropical Jungle BiomeDef settings to an ocean square and it came up with this. Might I say that is just perfect? I hadn't seen coastlines in this game before.. What would it take to have that effect all around the map edges, with some more perlin in for good measures.

Hi Berangar, that's a good idea to start with. I'll try it first, see if I can improve on it later. For example, would be nice to have specified islands on the world map instead of any old ocean tile. The world generator already does generate 1-2 tile islands.

Yeah I'm aiming for an naked-and-afraid-style overhaul. So sandy islands, palm trees, coconuts, diarrhea, crabs, fire-bows, palm leaf skirts, volcanoes... And for those who worry, raiders coming by boat or something..

Hi,

I'm a graphic designer with some developing skills. I'd like to take a stab at modding RimWorld. I would like to add a new Biome to the world generator. This will be an island and will have to be surrounded by water on the world map, and also at the edges of the game map.

So far I've only added the biome to Biomes.xsl and disabled base building for the other biomes. When generating a world and a base, I can't continue because, surprise, the are no available biomes. So I'm guessing I need to add the island biome to some list in the core files?

Can anybody tell me if I need to de-compile a file and if so which one? Do I need to write a solution? I want to find the part of code that handles generating the world map.

Oh, RimWorld wiki is being a bit of a downer, had a bit of a hard time finding more info, so I'm asking here now.
