Tectonic Mountains Add on Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
What does the Tectonic Mountains Add on Mod change about world generation?
It extends Tectonic by covering rocky mountain peaks in thick greenery and grass, filling slopes with dense spruce and pine forests, and carving wide valleys and flowing rivers between the ridges.
How can I find Appalachian-style mountain ridges in my world?
You can locate these massive ridges by exploring the world's terrain generators, which are modified by the addon to build sprawling, forested mountain ranges with natural foliage growth.
Will I find any villages when exploring the mountain peaks?
No, villages no longer spawn on these mountains, leaving the highlands completely untouched for a wild, isolated outdoor exploration experience.
Where is the best place to set up a base in these mountains?
The mod features dense spruce and pine forests covering the mountain terrain, providing plenty of natural foliage and trees for building a secluded wilderness base.
How do I navigate through the mountain ranges?
You can follow the wide valleys and winding rivers that are carved between the mountain peaks, which offer natural pathways through the rugged terrain.
Are there rivers in the mountain biomes?
Yes, the addon carves flowing rivers that wind through the green mountain hills and wide valleys between the peaks.
Do I need the base Tectonic mod for this addon to work?
Yes, this mod is an addon that extends Tectonic, so it pairs with terrain generators to shape the landscape.
Will building near the rivers and valleys affect village generation?
Village generation is completely removed from the mountains to keep the wilderness untouched, so you will not stumble upon generated structures in the highlands.
What kind of trees will I find on the mountain slopes?
The slopes and ridges are filled with dense spruce and pine forests alongside natural foliage growth.
Can I find isolated spots for exploration away from structures?
Yes, because village generation is disabled in the mountains, the highlands provide entirely untouched wilderness perfect for finding isolated exploration spots.
