Which Biomes O Plenty biomes should I enable?

[zbeeblebrox]

Hey guys, so I noticed in nearly all the 1.6.4 packs that very very few of the overworld BoP biomes are actually set to "true" in the configs. I'd love to add more variety to my world, but I don't know where to start and I remember from past experiences with BoP that there are some ugly biomes hidden in there.

What biomes would you guys recommend enabling for a more interesting overworld expierence?

ADD ALL THE BIOMES!

All of them. TBH it was stupid to disable any of them by the FTB team. It's limiting what the players can see. All of the "ugly" biomes are fun to explore and they disable most of the magical ones. That's just not a good idea. Can somebody explain to me their logic?

Id say keep them all

On our server, we typically disable most mountainous biomes and anything starting with "dead", some forests, and quagmire. We'd probably go for pure ATG if the server wasn't struggling with CPU already.

Try starting a world in creative and fly around for a while, write down which biomes you want to get rid of. And don't forget quagmire.

Thanks, that's actually a good idea, although it might take a while to find all 80+
One thing though - the config biome list makes it seem like there are a lot of snow biomes. Do you guys find there's an abundance of these on your server, or do they generate less frequently due to their higher variety?

Whats so bad about quagmire?

I think we disabled most or all of them actually, so I don't know.

It seems to only consist of brown mud that makes you walk slow.

I disable OrigenValley, CherryBlossomGrove, Garden, and all the snowy biomes except one. If I wanted Vanilla landscape, I'd play Vanilla, Cherry is far too... pink, Garden is just silly and looks out of place, and Snow-covered biomes are a waste of space, IMO.

Ehhh gonna need those snow covered biomes for Blizzes from TE3 which there will be a use for their mob drop
