Modifying the Config Pack

There are a lot of options that you can easily change in Tartarus. Some examples are the biome size, whitelisted biomes, and the likelihood of each biome generating within the world.

Most of these settings can be changed in options.yml found in the root directory of the pack. Currently, the file only includes the options to disable certain biomes from generating, how often each biome generates, and the biome size. There will be more options and configurability in the future.

Setting Biome Size

To change the size of every biome, scroll down to the biome-size value, and change the number.

biome-size: 1

1 is the default value. To make biomes twice as large, simply change the number to 2. To make biomes twice as small, change the number to 0.5, etc.

Changing the Frequency and Disabling a Biome

If you want to prevent a biome from generating, you can delete the corresponding biome from the weighted list from biome-pool.

biome-pool:
  - BASALTIC_DELTAS: 5
  - BLOODLESS_UNDERGROWTH: 3
  - BLOODY_REMNANTS: 3
  - CORRUPTED_WASTES: 7
  - CRIMSON_FOREST: 6
  - CRYSTALLINE_VELDTS: 1
  - FLAMING_HELLSCAPES: 5
  - LIFELESS_SPIRES: 3
  - SERRATED_MOUNTAINS: 4
  - SOUL_VALLEY: 2
  - TORRID_CRAGS: 4
  - WARPED_FOREST: 6

For example, if I want to disable BLOODY_REMNANTS from generating, I can either set the 3 next to it to 0, or I can completely delete the entire line.

If I want to increase the chance of CRYSTALLINE_VELDTS generating, I can also replace the 1 to a different number, such as 5. Lowering the number will lower the chance of that specific biome generating.

If you are unsure what a weighted pool is, you can look at this page on the Terra Wiki: https://terra.polydev.org/config/development/samplers/Weighted-Pools (Page currently does not exist)
