- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- Time for an updated WorldBox map making video! We're going to spend a little more time on the details this time, as well as just making a larger map overall. Hopefully you'll either learn something, or even just enjoy watching the map-making process because its kind of satisfying.

The definitely need to add bridges so the people can cross smaller areas of water
I rarely like comments
If you get the smallest thing u can get for making land (1 pixel) and put it down diagonally then ppl and ships can go through
@@idklol8271 ok thanks
There was a bridge update tho I'm pretty sure. The Totally Accurate Bridge Simulator update. Despite the name being a play on TABS it is a real thing. They can bridge over shallow water, tho I don't think it can be too wide.
What I think they need to add are naval battles so boats are more than just transport. Maybe flesh them out more with traits that affect speed or add offensive capabilities like cannons or harpoons.

What makes the most sense would be putting mountains right on the border of the savanna facing the ocean, many deserts and savanna’s are bordered by mountains because the mountains block moisture and rain
called the leeward and westward effect. I do it all the time in my worlds, it makes for interesting kingdom dichotomies
Me too
I do that
@@coltonbates629Leeward and windward*
fun fact: real world rivers don't split, they merge into one main river, the only exception are river deltas, like the nile or the volga
Yeah, he did that in another video...it annoyed me.
@Ben Harper i know its a sandbox game let people do what they want lol it doesn’t have to be ultra realistic
Yeah, I do rivers from mountains converge into big rivers and then into the sea
The River Kymi splits, but it is very rare
While mostly true, I will point out that rivers CAN split naturally. It's called river bifurcation. It's not necessarily permanent, especially if the 2 branches meet again, but that depends on the material and size of the island formed, thanks to erosion. But rivers and streams CAN split naturally. Just, as someone else said, it's rare.
Hey bro- Have you ever considered a run of this game where you basically play Dungeons and Dragons? You take one member from each main human-like race (or maybe just 4 humans if the orc and elf butt heads) and send them into a world like the one from the 1,000 years of war video. Then, you closely monitor their stats, weapons, etc., and arrange fights for them with classic foes like bandits, dragons, and necromancers. Heck, even have some flourishing towns scattered about so they can "stop at the local inn", and elemental towers surrounded by powerful monsters to act as "dungeons".
That’s interesting!
Let's hope gorg sees this 👀
I actually use this game to create my own DnD maps. I think its better as a map creating tool than it is as a god simulator.
@@emrekaya6848 It is “World Box” not “God Box” so it makes sense
I don’t think that’d be very possible since if the towns are ran by the same race as the mc he will just join them or start his own kingdom and stay where he is. If the towns are different races they would start fighting. Great idea but world box doesn’t really have the facilities for that without mods
For the coast line, I use the shovel because it makes the transition from shallow water to deep ocean look really cool
Fun fact, you can chill geysers so it looks like small waterfalls
If you use the arcane desert, put trees down then change the biome then change the biome back then delete some of the trees so it looks like there used to be trees but now it’s all dry but if you want some trees in there add a shallow water oasis with some trees (1-3) around it
This is like bob ross, but for world box
I have not finished the video yet but Im sure this tutorial is going to be great
Was it?
I think he is still working
one of my favorite things to do when i finish a map, now with the newest 0.14 release, is after i finish my map, i box out a small part of my map with a 2 or 3 thick mountain wall. Then I go into debug (click the cheeseburger in settings a bunch and then click the green bug in the top right corner) and scroll down and click the settings that apply infinite resources and fast culture and stuff to kingdoms. After applying all those, put it on superspeed or x5 speed and put some people in the box and wait until an awesome looking advanced city is there. when you are satisfied with how developed it is, get life eraser tool and erase all the people, then delete the mountain walls and fix what used to be under the mountains. Apply a lot of trees and shrubs and now you have a neat overgrown ancient city as part of the terrain. Maybe a future city during a game will take advantage of the unique end-game watch towers and buildings inside the abandoned city. If you want the city to be destroyed instead, just apply madness on the people then life eraser after you're happy with the city's level of destruction.
I really really dug this video, I wouldn’t mind just vids of you building out maps and talking over your thought process and methods. Cheers and great content!

what they mean the cones are Really STRAIGHT ONE, not MT Taranaki but something like

I think i found a decent tip from my experimenting. If you create earthquakes in the ocean, it can make thin islands. So if you want any of those, try it
We’re would we be without this guy
I like to make a bigger mountain in the center of the map and then use small paths of hills to make it look like a mountain pass. you can also make tiny areas of swamps connected by hill paths to add extra detail. trust me. it looks better than it sounds and makes for interesting wars if you add humans
Gorg: don't fix anything
Also gorg: fixes the rocks
I have a habit of making a circle island that is enclosed by mountains and inside is either a frosty land or that magical biome and I fill it with humans or bears
Great video! Personally I like building on a world-scale, i.e building several continents/1 massive continent, what I like about this and focus on doing with this is designing bodys of water (i.e bays, oceans, lakes) and having all of them come together into 1 world. I think bodys of water are sort of the make or break of a good map. This also lets me add more biomes in a more realistic way, but its fine if you have unrealistic biomes next to eachother, it's all art and art does not have to be realistic, I appreciate your style a lot.
A few tips are incorporating peninsulas & islands as prominent features in a map, I think this varies the shape & makes communities feel more geographically defined (Like they are in real life, borders form around water, rivers, mountains, and worldbox will sort of follow this too. I wish they updated the way ai works to put more emphasis on this)
Also using gradients to blend shapes, convey height (colors do this regardless of if it makes sense, manipulate the biomes) lowness, wetness, and tempature. Mountains will *almost always* have 1 wet-side and 1 dry side (ex. Jungle - Savannah, Plain forest - sand, etc, even putting in some swamps inbetween mountain ranges works too). This makes for a great transition between biomes that is realistic! I also like to use wetter/fertile biomes (like jungle/forests) alongside lakes, rivers, and oceans
For rivers, noticed you didn't add any, personally I think not adding any rivers is fine. It's better to have no forests than unrealistic ones & they can interrupt movement of people if you don't like that. For rivers you have to remember the high points of your map, water flows from high up areas to low areas, and do not go from 1 coast to another. A river drains into a lake, and then that lake drains into a water-shed/coast. To convey whether its draining or being drained you can use water gradients to convey water going lower and/or make it thicker at the top and then get more narrow.
Most important thing to remember, Have fun with it, build a map you want to make and feel free to disregard realistic features, make fantasy explanations for natural phenoma, different scales.
“Give this bay a little more (bay)”

your constructions are very beautiful and gave me good ideas to use on my map, greetings from Brazil!
I like using thicker brushes for the mountains and also makeing caves inside the mountains
Now I have ideas on how to make custom world. Thanks bro
Mr. O’Hare approves of this video, and can you do a video where civilizations battle on my face?
Love the video. The only thing is that IIRC rivers do not split, they converge. Usually starting as smaller streams from higher points(like from that body of water in the frozen area). As far as I remember this is because water takes the shortest path possible, continuisly eroding more terrain to make the river wider and thus, easier. There are of course exceptions but someone more knowledgeble would have to expliain why such circumstances happen.
Thanks for the video!
Getting someone Boss vibes from this video. So inspiring.
It’s not just fruit bushes you can also just place Animals in there for them to hunt but of course they have to be more docile creatures like rabbits sheep cows etc.
I just wanna say that was so awesome. I finally know how to make a map without every single time to get a perfect map. Thank you so much God bless.
This kind of thing works a lot better if you start with full land...and carve the seas out of it, instead. Then you can layer your way down, and everything is much tighter...you don't get those weird deep ocean pixels right next to the coast in the middle of the shallows for no reason. The soil level is "neutral", and then you cut the seas out of it...and build up the hills/mountains onto it. It also means smaller islands don't look like the top of a tower in the middle of the deep water.
Thank you for making this video it helped me a lot I was trash at making islands or maps before
comenting for the algo rithm
Thanks i never knew how to make good maps but i didn't expect vortex to be that usefull i always thought of it as being usless but you changed my mind
Anywas have a like and a sub
I enjoyed watching this video, great tips for making maps. I like making maps that make geographical/geological sense, so I looked up the different climate zones (temperate, tropical. subtropical, deserts, etc.) to understand where they are located and why. I can now make more realistic fantasy worlds. Understanding why a certain biome is located where it is definitely helps.
Just found your channel in the 2000 years video i loved it
Thank you because of these tips I can finally complete my Asia
To use the mountains to help to choose the biomes like one half is a forest and the other is desert this is called the rain shadow affect and it helps with making maps look more real
Amazing Video Gorge! I’ve been watching for a couple days , but your amazing man!
Wow I’m early and rlly good job! I started watching u yesterday and I can’t stop watching!
Tysm now i can make my map look bigger (I always make very big river)
Enjoyable vid and inspiration to start off
at first when tried it on android and then got on on pc it feels like a touch screen and a pen will do wonders in this game
along with the trees and bushes make sure you add gold,silver, and other important resources
Putting Dormant geysers in enchanted patch looks like Japanese hot springs
I think it would be cool if you start rivers up in the mountains as well instead of just using them as outlets for lakes. Also I think it'd add to the realism if you make rivers grow slightly larger as the flow further downstream, as well as add a few river deltas whenever they flow into larger bodies of water.
Do a 4 races battle for middle earth video
bro before this vid my worlds looked like garbage thank you so much i improved a lot
Hey, Bro you should have a bay area and make natrual moutain wall and there can be a isolated fishing village
also if you makee a huge lake sometimes adding a little island in the middle makes it look nice
As you're looking for realism, rivers don't behave that way. Once water found the fastest way to flow, all of it will go on the same path, and not having 4 rivers branching of from the same places. The only reason for that happening is when the flow is to important for the path's capacity.
@Gorg plz if u can i'd really like if you like do one of those mini movies you do but instead its that theres a hurricane. P.S you make good vid's, so good that i subbed.
A fairly common saying is that straight lines in nature are unnatural. You don't want straight lines if you're trying to remove the touch of humans.
Maybe put some trees on the beach. *proceeds to spawn a cactus*
the rivers remind me of my first minecraft world
I’m glad you added the ocean definition in this one because I was just about to comment that you should have added it to the first video like this you did
Rivers that don’t end in water look good too
I support you to make a video in which you make a map with the corrupt, infernal biomes.
This is so helpful.:)
I looked at your first vid, which was helpful, but this makes it so much easier to make it good!
I like to block little parts of the terrain and according to the biome, putting there all the crazy monsters i want (e.g. Demon towers on Inferno)
Heres a tip if you are gonna have a hot and cold area split it into 3 areas biomes with the coldest area with have slightly warmer biomed further eventually going into the plains biome which is neutral and from neutrap go into slightly hotter from savanah to idk dessert or inferno
Plains->jungle->savanah->arcane->inferno
Or Permafrost->swamp->mushroom->plains
Neutral areas plains,lemon,enchanted, etc
This will make your world feel more believeable instead of having a hot area right next to a cold area instead ot has structure and makes each side unique
The first video I see of your chanel,i love it
If you want you can turn off grass growth and then when you’re making the sand like coastal line you can also put some Rasoi on there and then put grass in biomes and everything else but leave a line of Rasoi and then use the vortex towards a scatter it and then it can be like in real life wear when you go on a beach it doesn’t transfer directly to grass it’s beach soil grass sometimes they are just like gravel but we don’t have gravel I don’t think and I don’t know how to make any but I think a soil line with just like Rasoi would a lot more depth to the world as well.
A thing i do when making maps is that after i filled the innerpart of the island up with soil i make a little outline next to the sand with forest soil and the of course Vortex
They really need to add Bridges and more realistic seeds or maps
I like to add some long and skinny hills off the coast and vortex them.
This should make them split then you add some stone to them and it looks pretty nice.

Moral of the story: let him just have fun man
God on the first days of the universe watching this: *So you have to put earthquacks on earth to make mountains? alright.*
Try this if your closed ocean is too big: try making smaller islands there
I made the Phillipines map but To Small Islands
In real life the most prominent mountain range the Himalayas was formed by two continents colliding so it would be reasonable to make a squiggly line as a mountain range
I am 2 years late, but when I opened the video I got a WorldBox ad
a tip for islands is you have got to got to make t like a puzzle peace with its neighbors for example the east side ofsouth america and the west part of africa go inwards and out wards together at the same time
they should add a bucket tool to fill in shapes
Maxim better should add tropical biome so it would look cool
Isn’t tropical the jungle?
Like tropical rainforest?
@@LowRankingSparrow6145 yes
I guess you can run a river from the ocean and just let it go like and up the map and not connect it to a lake. That would look nice or you can just let a river that is connected to a lake make a it go side ways and not connect it to another lake.
I also use this as a constant reference. Thanks.
Nice I was about to play the game thanks your the best
Bob Ross of Worldbox
I like making really big mountains and using the "hill" tool to make caves
I like these.
what i like to do when making maps is making rivers come from mountains. like in real life
I try to have a Mountain lake where most of my rivers spawn
Please make more of these kind of world box video’s
Bruh that’s all he does
The map making one's
You should make a Red Dead Redemption 2 map or Assassin Creed Odyssey map!
What recording and editing software do you use?
This is the worldbox version of bob ross
3:10 when he said that I looked outside and saw a strait line tree trunk
Probably a dumb question but how do you get your snow to not melt?? Whenever I try to add snow atop my mountains it always seems to disappear over time! Love the content!
SUPER NICE
Very helpful
For the rocks on the beach, couldnt you just use the stones
Ok i know this game is all pixels, but doesnt that kinda look beautiful?
Actually you can get savannah type biomes by the sea
my man is like bob ross lol
Thank you! You made my day!
id love it if you continued this but more in depth, like with volcanoes or giant absoloute unit mountains
This is super useful. Thanks. :)
I don't have WorldBox, but I'm getting it this Christmas, and I'm watching this so i have knowledge in advance.
Also, do certain races do good or bad in certain biomes?
I like to add polar ice caps
It’s tedious but when I use tree tool on sand I think it looks better if you go throughout and remove palm (for desert) or vice versa for beaches.
I managed to make a world similar like this
Thanks for the tips!
And also great job making the map
I like creating small islands or archipelagos to make island nations war
But, you can use the shovel too
