Will Update Soon.

Rivers appears to be functional currently but it has significantly increased build time. We will look into that at a later time. Watersheds should be working properly. 

Sometimes official game updates mess up mods. Thankfully Vintage Story gives us fantastic WorldEdit tools that make it super easy to copy your builds over to a new world if you you're ever in a pinch.  

1. Backup your world and the TerraPrety.json file you used to create it. (Put all your gear in a chest inside your build first, and note the world's current date.)
2. Load up your old world, and go into Creative Mode by pressing "T" and typing "/gm c".
3. Open your Creative Inventory by pressing "E", search for the Magic Wand and put it in your hotbar.
4. Open WorldEdit by pressing "~" (just left of the 1 key) and click the Selection Tool on the left (fourth option down).
5. With the Magic Wand in your hand make a 3D selection around whatever you want to save by left clicking one corner, and right clicking the opposite corner.
6. Save your selected build by pressing "T" and typing “/we export savename”.
7. Create a new world save in Vintage Story 1.21 using Terra Prety 7.0.9.
8. Go to the location you wish to place your build, bring up WorldEdit by press "~", click the “Import” tool at the bottom left and select “savename.json” from the top menu.
9. Select "Replace All" from the Replace Mode at the top center menu, move the selection to the correct position with directional buttons and click “Place”.

You can then also use "/time setmonth ___" (first 3 letters of the month) and "/time add _ days" (number of days into month) to bring your world to the exact date you left off.

These are the only config settings relevant for players to change, the rest are for us as we work. The mod is designed for our Recommended Settings so we can't promise a lot of quality control or support for worlds that tweak these settings much, but you are welcome to play around with them.

noiseScale - Enlarges or shrinks size of continents and oceans equally.
heightMapNoiseScale - Enlarges or shrinks range of mountain and flatland regions equally.
oceanWobbleScale - Enlarges or shrinks range of the irregularity in continent / ocean shapes.
oceanWobbleIntensity - Makes continents either more or less irregular in shape.
remappingKeys - Controls ratio of land to ocean. Reduce both numbers to increase ocean, increase both number to increase land.
remappingValues - Designates pure land and pure ocean areas. Should leave at 0.0 and 1.0.
chanceForMidZone - Increases chance for medium elevation landforms.
targetMidLevel - Determines what elevation landforms to use in MidZone regions.
lowThreshForMidZone - Determines minimum elevation an area needs to be to qualify for being changed by targetMidLevel.

UPDATE: So the 1.21 update has come to pass, and it looks like we have been able to successfully update all major releases of Terra Prety to work with 1.21! While we can never know for sure what unexpected changes might be coming from Anego in the future, this relatively big 1.21 worldgen update seems to suggest that updating old Terra Prety worlds to new versions of Vintage Story should be feasible. For anyone trying to update their older worlds to 1.21, please download the latest "pre" version of whichever Terra Prety release you are looking to update to 1.21. For example, if you started your world in 6.0.1, you will need to download "6.0.1-pre.2". And as always BACKUP YOUR WORLD BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UPDATE. As of now they are all updated and all seem to be working properly. 👍 

The following is an older cautionary disclaimer which now appears to be outdated, but for the record you can read below:

Terra Prety: Coastlines & Continents 7.0 is out! I am extremely pleased to bring you what I feel is now a fully comprehensive assemblage of key worldgen, including oceans, scattered archipelagos, detailed coastlines, and truly proper, fully formed continents spanning vast and distinct regions of terrain, everything from the deepest wetlands, to ultra flat plains, to sublime slopes, rolling hills, precarious cliffs, canyons, crags, monstrous peaks and more. Thank you to my coding partners Darkluke1111 and JonR for helping to enable this approach to worldgen design which I have been working to develop for the last year. I hope you enjoy!

The focus of Terra Prety 7.0 is to introduce truly proper continents, islands, and archipelagos into Vintage Story, with far more gradual and detailed coastlines, all of which have now been made possible with the help of my exceptionally talented coding partner Darkluke1111, who had overheard my rambling ideas for producing natural looking coastlines and continents many months ago and approached me offering his help. Terra Prety 7.0 also introduces a new landform elevation system made possible by JonR of the Toolsmith mod, finally enabling us to organize landforms based on height to prevent blending transition problems and create a more comprehensive, coherent world with distinct regions, enormous diversity and seamless transitions. This landscape should now feel far more gradual and natural, and both the Elk and Boat travel should feel far more enjoyable and rewarding. Best experienced with Farseer mod.

Gone are the days of shattered floating pillars (well, mostly gone :D) and artificial looking geometric terrain, this worldgen is designed to live up to the beautiful builds you create for it. Please consider this your artistic canvas, please share pictures of any pretty terrain you might find, and the works of art you build upon it.
