The Lost Cities: new RFTools Dimension type

[McJty]

This album shows what I'm currently working on. It is a new dimension type in RFTools Dimension. This landscape + city is completely generated:

I plan to release this as a standalone worldtype mod too

This is pretty amazing. Are the number of levels of a given building dynamic as well?

 

[McJty]

Yes, everything is dynamic. Also every level of a building is randomized

That looks pretty neat. That screenshot towards the end, is that generated to look like a bomb went off there, or did you blow stuff up for the fun of it?

That's kinda of neat if it's meant to be like the ruins of a city from a civilization that destroyed itself.

That's exactly the idea

is it purely a lost city or are there also other things in the city, such as dungeons, chests and mob spawners?

Sick!

There is some good loot in there. Including very rare modular storage from rftools filled with some goodies

Also lots of spawners

I hope you don't mind me saying, but the buildings here look rather similar in design to some of those in the "City" areas in the overworld that can be found in the Invasion Modpack (I've been watching Direwolf20's LP) - is that a coincidence, or is that your handiwork?

Really looking forward to this mod. Very cool!

how's the generation of the spawners and chests? is it dynamic as in it can be in different places in the same type of building, or is it constantly at the same place?
if it's dynamic the player will really need to explore each building as if it's a new one, otherwise the player can easily pick the good buildings out, quickly get the chests and break the spawners and leave again.

Well the buildings themselves are dynamic. i.e. every level is picked from a set of level parts. So in that sense the spawners are randomized too. But I'll add more randomness possibilities.

Breaking the spawners is sometimes hard. Some of the spawners are hidden pretty well

I immediately want to rebuild that civilization. Is this going to be a biome, or just world generation at random? Having an entire single biome dimension of that would be crazy, but I wouldn't always want it infringing on my Overworld. Amazing work. I can't wait to start going house to house.

 

[McJty]

This is worldgen. So it goes on forever. But you can configure it to be more or less rare and you can control density per biome and so on.

This... this basically fulfills 70% of the first post I ever made in Suggest mods for creation here - nay, in this entire forum.

 

[VulgarBear]

Looks wonderful can't wait to get playing with it in game!

 

[Golrith]

One idea, city "sub biomes". As in some areas of the city are industrial, some are residential, some commercial, etc. It would add even more to explore/loot. Sure it would need more buildings designed, but I'm sure the community would help out there.

For a minute there @Golrith I thought you meant sunken ruined cities to explore! But yeah - great idea, that!

I believe there is an atlantis mode already, so I'm guessing submerged.
