The terrain generator had a large overhaul for 2.1. Have a look at the video:

A long time request, finally here!
Wat a sec, did I read in the world menu “Supernatural creatures”? Is now possible to disable Werewolves!?
(The rivers and the new adjustable biome sizes looks amazing!)
Super Natural Creatures set to Enabled at 1:05
Seems that I’ve found the answer by myself…
did you notice it says supernatural creatures… creatures plural maybe he added more?
^ Yep… Could mean everything!
So good. Now i can disable werewolves.
Yes!!! I didn’t even notice that at first! That is awesome I have emailed him and asked him ounce to give us a way to remove werewolves and there it is in action!!! Thank you kaalus you are the BEST!!! We should give him like best dev award or something 😀
Yeah this is awsome! This way he could add other new supernatural creatures (kinda always wanted to see zombies in this game personally) while allowing everyone to disable them if they dont want them. This way everybody is happy!
I really don’t like the supernatural stuff. Play Minecraft if you want fantasy… I like Survivalcraft realistic. Imo
I do like realism also, but sometimes I also like having some special creatures. I dont mean adding unicorns, but let’s say (as an example) zombies, kraken, or similar creatures that can be plausible and aren’t too far from reality and are already more realistic than werewolves ;)
But now both players that like realism and players that like fantasy can play SC, Billy.
I do agree with you.
Now is possible to add vampires, zombies or even Dragons!
If you don’t like them for any reason (Unrealistic, not enough survival-like etc) , you could always disable it!
Well if he’s going to add more supernatural creatures in future then I hope it’s going more be “realistic” form of creature like wendigo or a chupacabra.
Would be awesome if we could be a werewolf! Like killing a werewolf you can get an item that could be used to do that. This is a kind of realism… I think so.
Something that would encourage the exploration of the world, would be the addition of mythical creatures. Monsters that are very difficult to find and spawnen only once in the world. It may be a Yeti for colder areas, or a basilisk for desert or the aforementioned wendigo. The realism in the game would be preserved and seeing one of these creatures would only be a mysterious fact.
Kaulus can also add bigfoot!
As an ultra rare creature, which has a 1/10000 chance of spawning!🙆🙆🙋🙌🙇🙆🙋🙌
first!
:(
Hell yeah kaalus great job so friggin hyped!
2.1 could be released VERY soon!
*Hats off*
YAS RIVERS ARE HERE!!!!!!! I’ve wanted them for so long, they make the game even more realistic. Now I can make the large river settlements I’ve always wanted ^-^
Now I can connect villages! That is so cool! I can’t wait!
Also i noticed the terrain looks more flat now!
We have a new biome: the flat one!! : D
I do like that. I think it could be because he made mountains so huge now.
ME TOO. We needed flat biomes anyway.
We sure do!
Incredibly! Absolutely incredible!!! I have wished for this for so long!!! I am so hyped for the release!
The video looks really cool. I honestly hope that one day the first person camera will lean like that when flying in creative.
I was waiting for this…
You know it!
Don’t craft any compass and be the real survivor xD
I’m so hyped
A survivor should have a compass. :)
It would be more fun to have a map too
People with no sense of direction should have a compass. Also a map, and a “you are here” map like they use to have in malls. In fact those “you are here” things would be needed in cities/towns once we have multiplayer, cause I know many many buildings will look the same based on CC.
I have a fairly decent memory, not perfect sometimes I get a mountain top confused with another mountain top (or miscounted how many I passed in 3 days travel), but I find my way back well before seven days and risk of my animals disappearing.
Compasses are overrated
I never build them unless i go on an ocean exploration expedition.
But i navigate using the sun only, and i just keep track of which direction i am in.
I will go through several days of travel and make it back to my house easily
I don’t like conpass. I prefer tracking :))
If you want to try Survivalcraft 2, is the version for Survivalcraft Day One?
Yes the demo is SC 2.
It says “supernatural CREATURES” is there going t be more?😮
This leaves the doors open to more mythological creatures in this or in future updates in case if you would keep enabled the option!
Do you know what it means? Both players that like realism and fantasy will play SC! Definitely better than MC!( since 2.0)
Good work Kaalus! Larger biomes is something people have been waiting for a while and will make the game even better! +Larger visibility range in bonus, nice! Thanks!
Very well rivers only one request more crops and minerals please and the craving of the pistons is less difficult to find all their Minerals such as germanium
great work as always! one ticket to the hypetrain please
Wonderful! I have waited so long for bigger biomes and higher mountains! Thank you so much!
Now we need more biomes!!!
+1
One word: Beautiful.
Gorgeous
Does the right word to describe this exist?
It would be nice if it would get more difficult to survive in a dessert.
Please add 10x biomes for realistic!
agrega aldeanos con cabañas en las que se encuentre animales muertos utilizados por ellos y cofres y aldeanos pequeños
Hey kaalus i dont know if u will read this but if you do please consdier adding a fishing rod … after all it is realistic :) … i know u are working hard so whenever u consider implementing it its ok… just putting this here as a reminder (i dont want to push u… i dont know how to be more polite,just trying to say u are the best dev and whatever u consider more important as in development u the boss ;)
Realmente me encanta lo de los rios, lo esperaba con ansias, este juego se esta acercando a la perfeccion… gracias kaalus, te amo
Wow, I’m deeply impressed Kaalus. This looks so much better than MC. I have asked many times for the WW to be disabled, thanks very much. It is not that they make the game too difficult, it is just unrealistic. The huge biomes are just so great. Kaalus, next you must look at rendering continents or rather large islands with sea around them, not just one big island.
One more thing, I really hope this speed flying and panning will be available in Creative mode. Please later add an option for depth of valleys and height of mountains. We must also not only be able to lower or heighten the sea level, but also the land level, so we can have very high mountains.
That’s a very good idea!
Why do you want “continents”, you get lost without a compass after a day’s travel from your house. I thought you’d be terrified by bigger biomes,
Anyway my question was are islands “biomes”? Think their size will increase?
If you get lost that easy ypu need to learn how to navigate properly
Wow this is insane .
Iam waiting for the relase .
Wow… I love that you can change the biome size. The only thing I can think of that’d make it look cooler is waterfalls (that can wait a few updates though, I’m really anxious for 2.1 to be released).
+1. Waterfalls would definetely make nature look even more amazing
Now we just need 4k or some sort of shaders pack and the game would be perfectly realistic.
Wow not that’s a plains bloke if you ever seen one. Big enough to build an actual town. You don’t see them that often.
Kaalus I have one idea. For the supernatural creatures switch, could ,when flipped, could it give a quick notification that says ” this will be used as your default setting for future world’s”. That would be very useful because most people that want supernatural creatures want it always on. People that don’t want supernatural creatures don’t want to have to switch it to off every time they start a world… Hopefully you can see what I mean
More visible range for better devices… “Best computer wins” just like I keep saying! I want “They had a better computer” put on my gravestone! ****** ******* *********** ********* Barring performance enhancing rage…
Might be a stupid question, but are islands a “Biome”?
I ask because I know several small islands (13 blocks big) would be much nicer if they were larger (39 blocks big being 3 times larger).
I think theyre landforms..
Does anyone know if told worlds will be able to be imported over? Like if you have build structures can you import it over into the new release and the rivers and biomes will not effect what you had built?
It should say “the worlds” sorry for the typo.
I cannot express how happy I’m about this feature, excellent! all we needed!
thank you kaalus
I wish there would be an option to float like that in Creative.
RIVERS!!! Massive Biomes!! Crazy mountains! The world just became a much bigger place … we’re gonna need improved transportation please :D.
Anyhow very exciting, thanks Kaalus!
Awesome. Looks incredible and nicely done. I’m glad the mountains have gotten taller, and bigger. And I do hope because of the Supernatural creations toggle, more creatures might be coming. Maybe automated ruins with treasures and some humanoid vampires that protects them? Especially if NPC are to come, them being Natives, the Werewolves and Vampires, for example, and other Supernatural Creations*, might be part of their folklore!
Now that the biomes are way larger, I hope that there will be more vegetation and trees that are representative of the biomes. The Taiga have beautiful trees that perfectly illustrate that it’s Taiga, while when you have biomes that are Tropical in nature, ala +16 Humidity and Temperature, it straight up looks like regular Temperate forests with vines added. Big Tropical trees should be made to be independent in that specific Biome, with Palm Trees as a bonus, since you can’t get tropical without Palm trees. Fruits should also be added that are specific to a biome, like coconuts or something in the tropics, to apples in the Temperate biome, etc. Regardless, fantastic work Kaalus! 2.1 is looking awesome.
I agree with the palm trees, coconuts and such; perhaps he could make any ocean water in the area clearer, too, with the addition of corals and colorful fish! It would add so much character to the game!
What if he added thirst and leather water pouches. Also, water boiling to disinfect the water so that the character does not become sick.
se adiciona-se isso seria muito loco e mais legal
IM SO EXCITED! WHEN DOES 2.1 COME OUT THOUGH??!
The massive biomes are absolutely beautiful, and are many times more realistic than what we have now.
Think about it—now we can have two-week hikes through the coniferous forest without having to take a detour in a desert! lol
Also, supernatural creatureS?
Possibly he may add more than just werewolves? Unicorns would be pretty cool, and allow for faster travel than on horse, maybe?
Who knows!!!
rain can’t kill a fire
add some twig on a tree or larger twig
I am disappointed.
Why? Because I knew this was going to come sooner or later. Updates like these make half the purpose of having creative mode useless. Why have creative mode in the game if after a couple major updates any world you spent lots of time on will look obsolete compared to the new terrain generation?
I like all the features in this update but I not really looking forward to it cause most of them are for players that have someone else to play with or in a community. The new terrain generation renders my world invaluable now since it will look obsolete compared to the new terrain and its not like I can just start over I’m almost at 200,000 blocks placed on building and electrical work.
Now Im complaining but can I at least offer a way to fix this? Well of course but I don’t know if its possible.
There could be a way to copy specific parts of a world and paste in a new one, have markers placed in a old world that will tell the game which part of the terrain not to update then convert the world over to fit update 2.1, or even an option to regenerate terrain in the world but have the ability to select chunks that will only be updated or excluded from the conversion process.
So…kaalus what do you think?
I just have to give up my cruel at start over again with the beautiful biome..btw unexplored areas would be generated by the new terrain update
I don’t think they are for big changes like this. You would get strange things (like 50 block high flat, vertical cliffs). I think it’s only for minor changes like new ores.
I see what you mean, and i am also a bit disappointed..
You see i started building my medival world 2 years ago, and ive been building almost everyday since then, but since they updated the terrain i felt dissapointed and a bit discouraged to build on my world anymore since it would look obsolete,
My initial plan was to start building on a new world in the future updates but that would result to me leaving my previous world
So my plan is to finish the Colosseum (my current project) n my world and once the update has arrived ill just move to another island or a far-away place and start building there..
That way i get to keep my kingdom and villages and build another kingdom far-away!
New terrain=new cities= new possibilities+old world builds= hours of fun!
Ooooo, your Medieval world sounds awesome. Have you ever released it to the CC or forums?
Yes I will lose my month long progress at crazy high difficulty, but the good news is I get even more crazy high difficulty.
Also 200,000 blocks? Seriously seen cities and stuff that are in the millions, all the worlds rarely get updated like this to cause you to lose your data (died a couple of times in cruel mode due to updates).
Woah this pretty damn cool my favorite feature so far..now we can build a castle on a fine terrain
Good job and double thumbs up kaalus👍👍
Awesome I really like this river and large bio not crazy of multi but still good good work kaalus that’s what the game need realistic stuff fishing fruits on trees thanks
The rivers here looks like actual real life rivers (unlike mc)
Epic
More than epic and amazing! No words to properly describe it!
Supernatural animals? I am eager to hear what this is about. 😊 Zombies, Ghosts, unicorns, centaurs? (I really hope it’s Ghosts! Fingers crossed.)
I hope it’s released soon though! I’m dying of eagerness! I am holding off on playing so I can really have a great time with all of the new features!
I think that’s just an option to turn off the werewolves.

*Popularity
1) minecraft- it has been around long b4 other sandbox games, thus have plenty of famous youtubers advertising the game
2) terraria- famous youtubers played this game also
4) Survivalcraft- needs more publicity, more youtube videos and more subs on youtube channels
(See the problem here? Survivalcraft has a shot at being the best indie sandbox game of all time, but since minecraft is more famous; were allways compared and literally living under its shadow, so what do we need? publicity, Im talking ads!, tv endorsements!, marketing! More youtube content! More views!
Im pretty sure if we can get at least joseph garret (stampy) to do a lets play this would lead to more youtuber and audiences playing the game
Or for more mature viewers Grian, he would love the furniture ideas and has the skills to make more cooler and in theme furnitures!
I am certain that if we could pull this out, the sales would go skyrocket through the roof in the mid-second quarter, and later on will be recognized by other medias, that means more money, and more money means more epic updates! More conventions! More merchandise!
5) block story- no updates since then
Now SC it is suitable for every blocky game player that wants a challange!
I only disagree about Creative section, I still think that Minecraft is better than Survivalcraft in terms of creative gamemode.
Reason? Sure Survivalcraft have better electrics and Furnitures are amazing, but don’t forget that in Minecraft we have Commands, Command Blocks or even Structure Blocks!
and surivalcraft has survival in its name. Duh
Well at least eckosolider (a channel with a lot of subs) is doing let’s play
Beatiful!!!!!
I can smell maps for more fun
You are amazing kaluus
This new update will really change the gameplay….. to be more realistic! YEAAAA It is now more challenging, adventerous, and now Compass will be really really really helpful!!!! I wanted to to see how big desert can be, but you didn’t show , Kaalus. But nevermind 😀😀😀
320 block vsibility yeah… need plenty of ram yeah… but i have only 1.5gb ram xD…. okay… that sad ==
I mean, I have the OG iPad Air and it’s capable of running the game with full block visibility, with only 1 gig. But I’m guessing you have an Android device right? I doubt the weaker processor could compensate :(
I thin we now need faster and more advanced forms of transportation now. Carriages and Caravans anyone?
And faster boats! Good ideas!
Yep, sailboats would be perfect. But I think they should be customizable and kind of be a movable home. Like we could have a set amount of space we could decorate and customize with beds, chests etc. So that you could go on a long trip through the world by sailing on the rivers.
Good idea! We should be able to sleep on boats and have at least some chests in if not a costumizable space and we surely need boats that can carry multiple players.
Just a saddlebag or simple wagon would be way better than using your inventory
Add Mangroves. Growing in water one block deep, on dirt or clay (not sand or granite) within 100 blocks or so of the open sea, and with the body of water connected to the sea (estuary or river.)
Umm…my visibility range is shorter than your portrayed mangrove distance. Maybe 20 blocks from shore.
Can you tell us what seed that would generate under?
BY FAR THE BIGGEST OF UPDATES!!!!! AWSOME!!! BIGGER BIOMES, RIVERS AND NO WEREWOLVES!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope my tablet will resist! The game should be really bigger after the update!!!
What tablet are you using
Allview AX4 Nano. Not a very known brand, but very used in my country.
Hi. As 2.1 update is fast approaching, SBC will start its activity. We are still waiting for:
1. Kakashihatake…
2. Norzkie
3. Cristy Muncileanu
4. Anybody else who wants to join : )
To join, please make a Discord account via app or browser, claim it( otherwise it will get deleted) and use this link:
https://discord.gg/S28RWMG
Note: After 2.1 is realeased and the link expired( expiry date: 28.06.2017), we aren’t waiting for anybody. But you can still join by requesting a link here or by using links that I will post here every 2 months for the new players to join if they want.
Have a nice day! : )
.
When will the group start?I’m afraid I might take for a while or months to join
Well, as you heard, we weren’t patient and decided to make a medieval citadel, by there are other projects that we started working on too. I know that you are waiting for your new phone, but could you please join before the link expires via browser? Then you could just log in using your new phone. I reccomend making a Discord account on a PC, beacause you can see more easily the notification about claiming your account I the upper part of the screen.
PC like a computer or laptop or both?
Yes. A PC is a personal computer, so it should work on both laptops and computers.
Kaalus can you make the rivers be made from flowing water rather than still? Rivers aren’t long lakes, they are stream of flowing water. Please do so if possible to generate. If you want to make rivers actually pretty amazing, you could make them cross in to caves and create caverns (a hole in the mountain that a river crosses it) AKA underground river.
An other idea to improve it is to make waterfalls only if it’s possible. I know minecraft kinda has (not really) but also a way worth doing.
like wild river?
No, domesticated river!!! What??? Daaaaaaaah… There’s no such thing as wild river. What did you mean?
oh ok sorry
sjFridays so Cringe!
lol I know
I can’t wait for the new update!!
Someone get a good youtuber with tons of sub’s to play this!!!
Sometimes I feel like the only person who plays creative
Pewdiepie should play this I asked him on twitter if he could play this plus it would be humorous when he plays it and the title should be sarcasm like “better than minecraft?”
or DANTDM
Yep either way
The game is pretty obscure, and pewdiepie rarely plays games.
He only plays games that he wants to play.
Minecraft is ending or dying?https://youtu.be/rgd44wSk6nQ
Pls watch this people said they will leave minecraft others said well ill just make a good minecraft
Hello I would like you to consider that when we are in a cave the wolves are heard that we are very deep I believe that that should diminish on the basis that we go out of the cave like the rain, and therefore we would like more crops and more minerals and such Instead find treasures in safes or stashes since in the tombs the items disappear with time thanks
I suggest we add better punctuation so you do not sound like a 5 year old hyped up on redbull ever time you speak because there is no pause between any phrases and this is really annoying to read.
The google translator I’m sorry but if you understand, when we are very deep in a cave, the wolves are heard and it should not be or maybe the echo would be echoed
Naw you’re good. I can understand you just fine. I agree with you as well. That would add a more realistic touch.
Multilenguaje
Yesss! This is an important feature! This does not just look fantastic and even more realistic, but it comes in handy when putting emphasis on building certain types of worlds! Like when building a castle in the midst of a large forest is great for example! I like the stretched rivers and real life tundra’s!
Great video btw, it shows nature in its purity.
Idea. What if people want huge mountains? Answer add a slider that dictates how high a mountain can be. Just like with the biome size add a slider so u can adjust the sizes of mountains. I like to make mountain houses but even those mountains seem really small. I need a flas cliff side.
In the video, I noticed that flying looks a little different. That could just be the computer though.
That’s kaaluses special flying ability… It looks really cool!!! but has been on videos in previous updates, maby he will give us this as a second flight mode in this update! I don’t have my hopes up though.
OK. Now, I’m getting excited. Larger biomes, long rivers and crazier mountains are superb! I’d love to build over a river, in a deep valley between two crazy mountain ranges. (We can only hope this also means a higher build height…) Hopefully he brings back the larger caves, too. I really miss those. What we have now barely poses a challenge except for the occasional ‘Swiss cheese’ spots. Anyone else notice that the “Biome Size” slider can go smaller, too? Size ‘1’ was in the middle. Wonder how micro sized biomes would look… Or, if we can set the terrain level very low, will the mountains reach even higher???
This is not a feature request, and perhaps it has been stated before, but what I noticed: Underneath the soil there is still a lot untouched, perhaps some deep trenches can act as canyons?
But no matter what, 2.1 must really be a huge update, I am truly astounded by the amazing work Kaalus pulls off all the time!
Big companies must be crazy not to hire his genius programming insight!
Microsoft buys Minecraft… Why? When there is Survivalcraft??
But… It would most certainly diminish Survivalcraft considering most ideas come undoubably from Kaalus himself, with Microsoft at the helm they would just ruïn that, lol!
I should not be comparing the two, that just feels wrong, they are two individual games crafted and intended in their own ways.
But Survivalcraft deserves to be known everywhere! Why is it not as famous yet??? Perhaps the word has such a bad taste for not opting Kaalus’ work? lol!
It puzzles me.
What I REALLY want to know; Am I the only one feeling frustrated about Survivalcraft not getting the credit it deserves?
It feels like greatly enjoying a Super Nintendo that only a handfull people have, yet it has awesome games, and the only alternative would be a Atari Jaguar with some poor games? Yet still everyone buys a Jaguar?? Mhhh…
Perhaps there IS something wrong with the world, we have been brainwashed into thinking Minecraft is the only first and original game out there. (While Infiniminer was actually the first Mine-Craft-Like game that compares to Minecraft and Survivalcraft, I’ve stated that before.)
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!! WOOOOOOOOOO! lol sorry but you just made me more excited for this update then I was for skyrims original release haha.
This is just spectacular, mojang eat your heart out. I seriously hope that this gets the recognition it deserves. My imagination has gone wild thinking about the possibilities.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, well done kaalus, you are a genius.
You should make huts with little things in it like fish or spears
