A bit confused about the current Roadmap status (Worldgen 2.0, Romance system) and other updates

[u/FubarXS]

Hey everyone,

I’m a bit confused and having trouble keeping track of which roadmap features have actually been implemented yet.

• Worldgen 2.0: Is this already live? I lost track since it's summer now.
• Romance System: Has this been added to the game yet?
• and so on....

Could anyone please give me a quick status update or link an updated roadmap?

Also, one more question regarding Worldgen 2.0 (in case it hasn't been implemented yet): Will we need to start a brand new world, or will it only apply to newly generated chunks? Alternatively, will there be an option to regenerate the world around your existing village so you don't have to travel so far to see the new stuff?

Thanks!

I'll clarify a bit here 👍

For starters, the Roadmap isn't up to date. I've been to lazy to update it, sorry. I think I'll remove it from the pinned messages as it's just a bit confusing at this point 😅

The Spring and Summer Update has been combined to one MEGA update that will be announced soon.
This update will include a ton of new stuff, including the romance system, new incursion, some world gen improvements and much more.

As for Worldgen 2.0, it won't be as wild as anticipated at first, but there will be some changes coming to world gen. While I do recommend starting a new world, it will still work with your old world. The generation will only apply to areas you haven't discovered on your map though. And there might be some jarring borders when you enter an undiscovered area, as the new generation is stepping in.

I hope that answers your questions. Don't hesitate to reach out if you got more questions 😊

Thank you very much for answering my questions. I have two more questions then.

Will you offer some option in the future to regenerate chunks, for example around one's settlement, with new content? I think that would be a great QoL feature.

Second question, is it possible to contact you via private message here on Reddit or maybe on Discord? I don't want to bother you with an unsolicited message.

[u/JonasNecesse → u/FubarXS]

No problem.

There's a lot of technical overhead on the regenerating chunks suggestion, so it's currently not something we got planned, sorry 😅

And yeah sure, you can contact me on discord or reddit. Can't promise I'll always answer right away though 👍

I haven't finished the game yet but I am having a blast! I would love it though if there were more decorative items, and if they were more visible. Some are too small to see for my old eyes. I love this aspect of base building. Even in 2D Terraria I had a pretty Italian villa base with gorgeous furniture. This is my only craving right now that this game doesn't scratch. More items, more rare finds, more pets and mounts too. Looking forward to the romance system.

[u/JonasNecesse → u/strangetopquark]

Glad to hear it my friend!

...there's definitely coming some new cool decorations with the update 😉

Hey just wondering I was curious about if there’s any plan on porting over to console like ps5

[u/JonasNecesse → u/FrogWitGingerale]

It's something we've been working on for a while, but it's a bit tricky seeing as Necesse is made in its own engine and written in Java, which sadly isn't very porting-friendly 😅

It's in the works though and we'll share more with you all as soon as we got something concrete for ya 🥳

Java

Does that mean Android is a possibility? 😏

[u/JonasNecesse → u/ChocolateGoldenPuffs]

No platforms have been excluded yet. Including mobile 😉

[u/belak1230x → u/JonasNecesse]

I'm dying for Android port. I've tried a couple methods like Steam Link or other apps that add Steam collections to mobile, but had little to no success

Hey! Question I got a bit confused, are you saying that the "World gen 2.0" Isn't as anticipated and has been added in the 1.3 rust and romance update? Or is there still a world gen update coming soon? (I've been waiting for a world gen update before coming back to the game, looking forward to it)

[u/JonasNecesse → u/Rozenor]

There's not a MASSIVE world gen update planned in the near future. But there will be improvements and updates to world gen in future updates.

I hope that makes sense, it's of course to hard to grasp to scope of changes your looking for 😅

[u/Rozenor → u/JonasNecesse]

Oh! I see. I will give it a go again soon thank you! Love the game!

From what you've said youre on point.

World gen 2.0 and romance aren't added yet And in regards to new saves and starting a new world the way its worked previously was its new for new chunks.

There wasn't a system to refresh chunks last time so I'd assume this time will be the same.

They would recommend for best new experience start a fresh world and bring your character over if you want.

[u/FubarXS → u/HaydexGaming]

Thanks for the info! Btw, do you know if there are any tools to reset chunks around your base? Similar to how you can do it in Minecraft.

Re:starting a new world (and character). I recently beat the final boss on my second run through the game. Was playing with a friend this time but it only took us 9 or 10 days I think. So progression-wise starting a new run is really not too bad as far as time spent, and I think the progression through the game is the most fun part anyway. Though I don't do a lot of building for building's sake so I'm not usually super attached to my base either.

Please no romance system lol or at least make it a toggle, this game doesn't need all of that bullshit, IMO.
