Feature request:

Adding new Bioms.

I'm fallen in love with this: http://imgur.com/a/yFdyv

Thanks for this greate mod!

This post ^ was confusing, but what he was asking was if you guys could support another biome adding mod called Biome Bundle:
http://minecraft.curseforge.com/projects/biome-bundle
http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/wip-mods/2588586-biome-bundle

Click his link from my quote ^ to see pictures of their biomes and descriptions of them. They actually look like something I would be interested in using!

Although It is only for 1.7.10 currently, not sure if it is possible to support though.. quote from their forum post: "A completely custom world generator" Just thought I would clarify this persons post for them since it seems to have gone unnoticed.

Any idea if it will be updated to 1.10?

Essentially what JetStorm said is correct. Biome Bundle is more-or-less a collection of scripts that manipulates Terrain Control (Included with the bundle). This is a completely different system than RTG and is incompatible.

Furthermore, we have moved our focus to 1.9.4 and any updates made to RTG for 1.7.10 will likely only be maintenance (bug-fixes, etc.., no more additions).

Is that to say it also generates the fossils / new Mesa mineshafts?

None of that has been tested, so it is unknown at this time.

Just a minor bug I noticed, the Canyon biome from BOP in 1.7.10 RTGv1.1 seems to ignore biome climate placement, I have seen 4 cases now here it has spawned adjacent to Snowy type biomes as seen in the image below.

RTG doesn't control biome placement, it just generates the terrain.

I am surprised to see how BAD this mod perform.

It take me 4 minute to create a new world.

It take me 1-2 second to load 1 chunk.

My render distance is 6 chunk.

I have optifine.

I located 4 GB of ram.

I lag so bad.(My frame rate is fine, but it take me 10 second to get out a boat. It is like having 1000 command block running in 1 chunk.)

Is there any plan to increase performance of this mod?

I'm assuming you are refering to the current alpha release for 1.9.4? Did you notice the part saying that it's 'alpha'?
RTG is being rewritten for newer Minecraft and currently the mod has some performance issues that are being worked on. Alpha releases are for testing purposes and not for normal gameplay.

Is there anything in RTG 1.0.1 that would *disable* the ice plain spike biome completely?

Two worlds now, either have ice plains spike in vanilla or in 1.0.0, but not in 1.0.1. (Just ice plains instead)

EDIT: NO! It's actually affecting vanilla worlds if I re-create them now. What the actual huh?

EDIT2: Confirmed. I'm trying to look at the 1.0.1 worldgen in ice plains spikes, and it's now broken even in the same seed in vanilla, same modpack as last week's jungle spotlight. ARGH.

Sigh. Guess I'll go back to captive minecraft 4 ...

AHA! DragonAPI v15a is causing the "no ice spikes" issue. Reporting to Reika now.

Dragon API issue: Turns out that vanilla has two different ways of handling vanilla mutant biomes. Dragon API, in resolving the +128 biome issue (so you could have more than 127 biomes), assumed they all followed one pattern.

(Some of the vanilla mutants are subclasses of BiomeGenMutant; others are subclasses of the main biome.)

Mesa observations, in 101, now that I have worldgen working:

http://imgur.com/a/bweiY

# Plain mesa has no grass, just dirt and sand
# Non-variant Plateau's have just clay (hardened and colored), no grass/sand/dirt.
# Variant Plateau's: No difference seen between F and FM

# FM and F seems to have less dirt/grass than M. F/FM is supposed to be the forest mutant plateau, right? So why do they get less dirt/grass? See imgur album, first two images.

# Cactus now generates on yellow sand, not on red sand. (Intentional?)

# Some area of mesa (plain, plateau, bryce, M) near water (river/ocean/beach) has solid green grass instead of clay. The sharp end of the solid grass when M switches to FM (right on the biome line!) tells me that F/FM don't do this.

# This coastal grass area will get oddball sand + cactus growth.
# The coastal grass has very little tall grass -- seems very odd for a well-watered ground.

# Aha! Sometimes there are pockets of lots of tallgrass in the moist areas. It's pockets of grass, and empty spaces.

### Where vanilla generates rivers, you don't always remove them. See picture of a 2x2 "beach" with a second and third segment of beach nearby. The 2x2 was originally a river; the others were inland on the vanilla mesa. (third and 4th image in that album)

# UMM ... A section that looks like either a cave or a ravine that ran along the surface in the mesa area removed colored stained clay, and left dirt and hardened clay. This was in a Mesa (plain) biome, so no sand. This is with both Enable Cave Modifications and Enable Ravine Modifications false (so, whatever you are doing seems to be confusing the vanilla caving/ravining code). In comparison, vanilla has no trouble taking out most of the blocks in the area (colored, dirt, sand) for both caves and ravines. (NB: Vanilla ground seems to be almost all orange stained clay. The "orange" looks the same as"red sand".)

NB: Vanilla Worldgen, Caves and ravines leave hardened clay. They don't leave dirt (tested in mesa). But in the RTG world, they are leaving dirt.

And, RTG caving in RTG worldgen: caves are leaving dirt in the Mesa. Caves do not remove hardened (uncolored) clay.

# There is still 5 meters of sand on top of the mesa hills in the F/FM/M biomes.

# The top of the mesa hills have oak trees when they have trees. There are also short oak and acacia "bushes", like deserts.

But, there are Acacia trees on the "ground" in areas.
Some areas have none, others have it near beach/moist areas.

Other biome quick notes:

# The "shadowing" in dessert M mountains is not just surface layer -- the colored clay goes *DEEP* under the sandstone.

# I'm looking at a sunflower plains that is almost all super tall oak and dark oak. At first I thought it was a roofed forest. It is next to a plains, flower forest and a normal forest. I am not expecting to see giant trees in a sunflower plains, even with a forest next to it. Extra normal trees? Sure. Extra giant trees? No.

# Cactus now generates on yellow sand, not on red sand.
Was there a Desert biome nearby? This could be decoration bleeding, but maybe it's a bug in the cactus gen code.

Large mesa seed. Nothing but various mesas, rivers, beach, ocean. Was happening far, far away from the beach area -- all the cacti I looked at had yellow sand.

Speaking of decoration bleeding, please, reduce tree heights when trees bleed into adjacent biomes.
