Pre-built terrain default saves.

[Facechild]

The idea is this:
Since all maps have been removed form Blockland, all we have now is slate. I feel some default terrain saves could help start people off with something to actually build on in-stead of nothing but flat ground.

Ideas for this would be things like.
An island,
mountain,
rolling hills,
lake
Etc...

Something put in the default saves to help people get started with whatever they plan to build, and the best part about this, is that you can edit the terrain as you build on it, something you could not do with maps.
Just throwing this out there, I am aware there are brick packs that make terrain building at least a little easier, but to have something to start on could really imporve the whole experience.

Any feedback or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to make a gamemode that generates a little scape of terrain. That you can either save or gen a new one. And when you want to load a previous save you just open a GUI and click the one, and it will quickly load.
The only problem is that  it'll be floating and modifying would destroy it all S:

I like those ideas, ease of bulding + ability to augment the map with the lighting = should already have happened.

Is it possible to lower it so it generates on the ground?


Additionally, other good defaults are,
City template, partially built neighborhood.

I was already doing this, but planning on it being one huge build with about 4 different biomes, such as mountain, plain, desert, and snowy. I doubt it would be default though, it is a good amount of bricks.

I agree. I know this has been discussed before, but it'd be good to have some default saves that could serve as maps or just starting points for builds. Terrain saves would be good to have, although we could also have cities or neighborhoods. They could be complete, or maybe just bare minimal templates to get people started.

Non-terrain saves might actually work better, because those environments are designed more towards being built with bricks than terrain.

I think Bushido and Eksi's Collab City is a good example of a save you could start building off of, even though it has a slightly high brick count. http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=184693.0

Sure. In fact I'll probably make an options GUI to determine the size, and if you want trees or not, and how high up you want it.
