About this project

What does Jurassic WorldGen add?

Jurassic WorldGen

Jurassic WorldGen reshapes the world into a wilder, older and more cinematic landscape. Expect massive cliffs, misty canyons, lush ancient forests, wide river valleys, deep lakes, waterfalls, rocky spires and dense green terrain.

The goal is to make exploration feel dramatic, untamed and Jurassic, while still fitting naturally into Vintage Story’s survival world.

Features
  • Dramatic landforms with cliffs, valleys, ridges, basins and canyon-like terrain
  • Larger scenic rivers and lake-style landscapes
  • Waterfall-friendly terrain with natural drops and steep formations
  • Lush ancient forest atmosphere with dense green terrain
  • Paleo-inspired worldgen touches, including debris and fossil / boneyard-style details

Screenshots are visually edited to better show the intended atmosphere. Actual terrain may vary depending on seed, settings and world generation.

Recommended Worldgen Settings

| Landcover | 60% - 70% |

| Landcover scale | 200% - 300% |

| Upheaval rate | 60% - 80% |

| Landform scale | 80% - 120%, depending on your taste |

| Forestation & shrubs | Highly forested, +50% or +75% |

Future Updates

Planned additions currently include custom Jurassic-style ambient sounds to make exploration feel even more alive.

Compatibility & Recommended Mod Pairings

These mods can pair very well with the Jurassic exploration atmosphere. Structure mods are the safest choices.

Best Exploration Companions

  • BetterRuins — adds large amounts of ruins, hidden places, story locations and exploration rewards.
  • BetterTraders — adds more varied trader locations while keeping the vanilla trader system intact.
  • VS Village — adds villages and inhabitants to make the world feel more alive.
  • VS Village Aged Village Addon — adds aged village worldgen. (Requires VS Village.)

Rivers, Water & Hydrology 

  • Rivers — adds flowing rivers and lakes at the ends of them. Great for wide Jurassic valleys.
  • Algernon’s Watersheds — terrain-aware hydrology that creates large-scale water-flow features.

Terrain, Biome & Landscape 

  • Terra Prety — a strong worldgen overhaul for bigger, more cinematic continents, mountains, cliffs and canyons. Test first.
  • Algernon’s 512 World Height Landforms — made for 512 world height and designed to work with Watersheds-style streams and larger valleys.
  • Plains and Valleys — creates flatter lowlands, plains, highlands, lakes, hills and rarer rough landforms. Best on a fresh world.
  • Terrain Slabs — smooths terrain edges with slab variants for more natural walking and softer landscapes. Requires PlaceOnSlabs.

Important: major worldgen, river and biome mods should be added before creating a new world. Always test with a fresh seed first, because terrain generation mods can change landforms, water placement, chunk borders or biome layout.

Suggestions, ideas and feedback are always welcome. Feel free to leave a comment!
