📋 About This Mod
Allows map presets that attempt to give you an island start, but with other islands/continents instead of the infinite ocean from vanilla's Island mode. If you wish for a biter-free start, please use map preview - as your starter island may collide with a larger island. Also offers a mode using vanilla terrain generation but with a guaranteed island.
Island Start replaces vanilla's Island mode with map presets that generate a starting island surrounded by other islands and continents, avoiding the infinite ocean. It includes a biter-free option using map preview to check for collisions. A vanilla-based mode is also offered.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Fixes the boring infinite ocean of vanilla Island mode with actual continents to explore.
- Gives you control over your start with presets, so you can tailor the world to your liking.
- The biter-free option is a nice touch for peaceful builders, just check the preview first.
⚠️ Cons
- No endorsements yet, so it's a bit of a gamble if it's polished or buggy.
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not play nice with the latest Factorio versions.
- The biter-free start can still spawn you next to a big island, so you have to fiddle with map preview.
This is for players who want a more interesting island start than vanilla's endless ocean, especially those who enjoy exploring multiple landmasses. It's also great for peaceful builders who want a biter-free start but still want islands to expand onto.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use map preview to scout your starting island and ensure it's not attached to a larger landmass if you want a true island start.
- Try the vanilla-based mode if you prefer the classic Island generation but with more land around.
- Since the mod hasn't been updated in a while, check for compatibility with your Factorio version before relying on it.
