Finding and Exploring Appalachian-Style Mountain Ridges

Finding and Exploring Appalachian-Style Mountain Ridges

If you want to experience the wild, natural outdoor look of the Tectonic Mountains Add on Mod, your first task is to set out and explore the world. This mod pairs with terrain generators to build massive Appalachian-style ridges across your surroundings, featuring rocky peaks covered in thick greenery and grass.

Setting Out Into the Highlands

Step out from your base and begin traveling across the landscape until you encounter the towering high mountain peaks. As you climb, look for the natural green grass and foliage that cover these elevated regions, as well as the dense spruce and pine forests filling the slopes and ridges. Keep your eyes open for wide valleys and flowing rivers carved between the mountain peaks, which create scenic routes for travel or settlement building.

Keep in mind that villages no longer spawn on these mountains. The addon intentionally leaves the highlands completely untouched by civilization, so you will not find any generated structures or NPC villages while scaling the high mountain overlooks. Instead, you will experience untouched wilderness. Make sure to pack plenty of food and gear before heading into the deep forests and distant green mountain hills, as the terrain is rugged, wild, and entirely free of human presence.
