World generation/sk: Difference between revisions

[[Rock|Rock]] layers come in three general categories: igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary.  Each category of rocks has several specifc types of rocks in it, and when generating in the world, There can be multiple layers of each type (or none).  The type of rocks has no effect on any flora or fauna generation.  However it has a huge effect on what ores you may find in the area.

[[Trees|Trees]] generate with different densities across the landscape, with some tree shapes only available through world generation that cannot be regrown.

[[Clay|Clay]] forms on the surface of the world, appearing in the form of either blue clay or fire clay. Clay does not generate in extreme hot or extreme cold climates.

[[Ore Deposits|Ore Deposits]] generate all over the underground in Vintage Story. It is very important to pay attention to the type of rocks that is nearby, as ores will only form in specific rocks types.

Underneath the surface lies a large variety of different type of [[Rock|rocks]]. There are 22 different types of rocks, and each rock hosts a different selection of [[Ore Deposits|ores]].

Different types of [[Soil|soil]] form over the landscape to form the surface. Some are more rare than others, with low fertility soil being the most common. The varying soil types have different levels of fertility, you may have to keep this in mind when choosing a location.<br>

Crops or [[Wild Foods|Wild Foods]] spawn once on world generation and very slowly grow when the chunk is loaded. A mature crop resets back to stage 1 eventually. They however do not multiply.

The temperature is a vital part of deciding what [[Wild Foods|wild foods]] can generate, whether or not [[Clay|clay]] can form, and even the [[Weather|weather]].

The [[Weather|weather]] depends on the climate around it. As a guide, areas that are more green indicate a larger amount of rainfall.

Environments are formed with varying levels of [[Water|water]] density, this means that oceans, for example, are not force as a 'biome' but instead form organically.

Structures form over the world's surface and underground in the form of [[Ruins|ruins]]. These structures often contain loot that can benefit survival in various ways. Some blocks, such as [[Planks|aged wooden planks]], can only be found in these ruins.
