Establishing Colonies in Difficult Terrains and Sky Bases

Expanding Beyond Flat Ground

Standard colony generation often favors flat plains, but this compatibility addon expands biome adaptability and terrain support, allowing you to settle in challenging locations such as ocean expanses, steep mountain peaks, or isolated sky bases.

To start a colony in non-standard terrain:

• Scout your chosen location, whether suspended in the air for a sky settlement or over water for an oceanic outpost.
• Level a primary foundation area adequate for your initial settlement markers, ensuring workers have basic walking paths between structural plots.
• Position your colony foundation so that NPC pathfinding can bridge vertical gaps or water crossings without pathing failures.

Managing Multi-Elevation Layouts

Building vertically or across hostile landscapes requires deliberate planning:

• When constructing a sky base, enclose open perimeters or provide clear borders to prevent NPC workers from straying off edges.
• For mountain colonies, build stepped terraces or interconnected stairways so workers can reach higher and lower specialized buildings reliably.
• For ocean settlements, establish platforms or bridges connecting your primary structures, ensuring citizens maintain access to all necessary facilities regardless of water depth.
