Biome changes were once offered as a limited time offer from Andrew. It's a world edit option.

I think there were some technical difficulties with it the last time they were available (ie. the entire region wasn't getting changed over properly); maybe there have been improvements, and perhaps Andrew could have it again next time he's choosing to do specific limited time world edit services.

What about slider prices? Certain costs per biome, i.e., Mesa more expensive than others

 

I thought Andrew said that there would be no more WE jobs.. or am I delusional?

 

Mesa biomes wouldn't change and blocks to clay, so there is no need to raise the prices.

 

The last time biome changes were offered, it only changed the biome, not the terrain. So you could change the biome to a mesa, but you'd still need quite a lot of manual labor to make it look like one.

 

Nah

 

Sorry for my being naive, I automatically assumed it meant world edit.

 

As much as I enjoy this suggestion and would love for it to be implemented, andrew to my knowledge stated that there would be no more World Edit jobs done. If this were to happen, it should cost $100,000+.

 

+1 this would be nice.

 

If you want to start on the matter of pricing, I would have to say 10 per 1x1 area, and the smallest you can buy it in is 100x100 which would be a minimum price of... 1,000,000. $1,000,000ECD to change the biome of a 100x100 area, $4,000,000ECD to do a 200x200. This would be very hard to do, unless you're a guy with multi-millions in his reserves...

I say +1/-1. World Edit Jobs were clearly disbanded for a reason, but like you said, I, too, am a man for change. It would be nice to do for the whole decorative aspect of things, and you can have ocean grass without being in an ocean.

What town is this change being made in: Kimigaya
Please type out the coords of the region being changed (no screenshots please):

• X 200 Z 200
• X 200 Z -200
• X -200 Z 200
• X -200 Z -200

The rate for this change is 10/1x1 area, with a minimum region of 100x100. Do you have the balance in your account? Yes.
How did you get the money. Any lying will result in a ban: Farmed, /ch auc, mined, fished, traded, lottery, give-aways, Storage Wars, Selling plots, and any other way to get money in the game.

Above is my idea for a possible application, and would be in sub-forum under Staff Requests, a place specifically for these World Edits. Now, or whatever reason these were discontinued, my guess is the lag of blocks being changed, the same reason may still apply. If it is for the lag reason, possibly have a single day out of the month where the server is down for a day and andrew would get on, and do all applications. I personally would like seeing a player who was on in the time of the Word Edit Jobs thoughts' , preferably Ike or Revan, or unknown just because they would know better than most people.

 

Loool... hah.. I see what happened. I was testing out possible prices and at one point it was 100/block to make it 4M, so.. yeah I'm off by a bit. Okay, possibly 1/block, but what do you mean by blanket?
And still make it a sub-forum so it's more clear to find the applications. There would still be lag due to blocks being changed all at once.

 

Well say I want to have part of my town metadata to be ocean, while another part is plains, or jungle.

 

The last time this was done was because I nagged andrew about it. :b
But, the drawback is that andrew is the only person who does anything with worldedit and he will not give worldedit powers to anyone else. This means andrew would have to do all the biome change applications and that's why they weren't made available permanently. It's too much work for andrew.

There's also an increased risk of chunk problems with this. Considering you're editing a chunk's biome, which in turn affects more things.
