Why do worlds using the Create World interface look better?

(1/1)

Betrix5068:
Advanced worlds always look off to me and I can't figure out why. Is there somthing fundimentally diffrent about how the two generators work or am I just imagining it?

mikekchar:
The generator is the same.  It's just the parameters that are potentially different.  If you export the parameters from after creating a world with Create World, you can have a look at them (it gets stored in a text file).  You can then experiment with tweaking those parameters in advanced world creation to see what it is that making it look better to you.

Betrix5068:
Alright. I would've hoped that the default settings for both would be the same but I guess not.

Edit: The main diffrence seems to be that the simple generator has a x/y elevation variance of 1600, double that of the advanced presets which are only 800. That would explain a lot.
