This mod has actually gotten me thinking of an island biom mod, maybe you start on a somewhat small island, big enough for a small farm, and comes with a few trees, later on once you have gotten enough wood and such saved up you could build bridges or boats to get  to nearby islands, one big issue would be how raids work, and how materials like iron and plasteel would work.....

are you thinking Submerged (shallow water is navigable until you have advanced mobility tech) or Waterworld (stuck on boats/islands)?

so is this mod dead? because I really like the idea, love it actually, and was wondering when an update will be because right now it's incompatible with a lot of stuff and causes the neon colored screen crash on my rimworld

i can't fix that until i know what mods are incompatible.

I recon I would give this a go. My first thought was "It would need a fishing mod or some other way to help them survive.". My second thought was "Could some clever plan of action allow colonists to survive with vanilla features?". Really make you think.

For starters sand has very low fertility, if I remember correctly, so even if you covered the whole island you might not be able to keep up food production. If nothing stops animal spawns I guess you could hunt but I suspect this mod should - if it doesn't - reduce or stop animal spawns. I guess instead of fishing you could have fish spawns (like animal spawns) and the hunters can wade out and shoot them. LoL. They would have to be pretty big fish. :)

Then there is the problem of building material. Again, you could grow some wood but it would take forever and any trees you plant would take up valuable space that you could use to plant food.

Then there are the other unavailable resources such as steel, plasteel, etc. You would only be able to buy those but without a way to make excess sellable produce you wont have the money to buy anything.

I think this biome isn't playable unless you have supporting features such as fishing (or fish spawning) and perhaps building platforms that would allow you to build structures over the water, that way you could save the land for growing. And it would help if there was even just a little soil in the middle of the island for that first life saving quick crop of rice.

Rikiki has a fishing industry mod (not updated for A13 yet) that would make this just fine to play on.

hello did some testing, Im using OceanMod and Core exclusively and after a few seconds when playing the screen goes into that broken colorful mode,im sure you knwo what im talking about. Seems like OceanMod is incompatible with Rimworld alone, or maybe I did something wrong. Im trying a fresh download and install now.

Update: same issue with fresh install. Anyone else having this problem???

knainoa

Hey Jakub. went in and fixed the problem myself, looks like it was due to a few missing defs in the file. this actually made the mod very compatible with various biome altering mods. Im gonna post it here for anyone to use, but since its still your mod with my edit, feel free to use and take credit for the update!  :D

great work love this mod

Hmm, with the fishing industry mod for food and the mod that adds a mining quarry, this mod might actually be playable, maybe with prepare carefully to make v sure you have enough food/materials to get them both built
