Design Spread-Out Islands for Airship Building and Exploration

Reduce Island Density

In the preset menu, lower the island density setting significantly. This creates large gaps between islands, perfect for building bridges, airships, or other transportation methods between landmasses.

Increase Island Spacing

Adjust the spacing parameter to push islands further apart. Wide spacing encourages exploration and makes traveling between islands a meaningful journey rather than a quick hop.

Favor Larger Islands

Increase the spawn chance for medium and large islands while reducing small island frequency. Larger islands provide more building space and resources for constructing airships and bases.

Set Appropriate Height Variation

Allow islands to spawn across a wider height range. This creates a three-dimensional archipelago where islands float at different altitudes, adding visual interest and navigation challenges.

Choose Scenic Island Shapes

Select varied island shapes—mix flat tops for building platforms with bowls or craters for natural shelters. Terrain variety makes exploration more rewarding.

Test and Adjust

Generate a test world with these settings. If islands feel too close, lower density further. If too sparse, increase it slightly. Save your final configuration for future worlds.
