About Delve

From Thunderstore

Meadworks world regeneration: dungeon sizes, chest refills, dungeon resources, the Queen and camp creatures come back on timers, never near players or their buildings. Server-only.

Delve

Set new dungeon room counts and bring back loot, resources and bosses after chosen delays. Regeneration runs where the world is hosted and protects nearby players and their buildings.

Features

  • Choose room counts for newly generated dungeons; the minimum-room setting is capped at 120 to avoid known world-corruption risks.
  • Refill loot chests with a fresh roll after 30 in-game days by default; player chests and Hildir quest chests are excluded.
  • Restore dungeon resources such as muddy scrap piles, cave crystals, black cores, Morkhalla gems and the Hole's nests and trash piles.
  • Regrow supported one-time world resources, including ancient armor, obsidian, flametal spires and Deep North ice.
  • Return the Queen and relock her citadel, or return Kall Fimbulbringer asleep to his boss room, after their configured unvisited delays.
  • Optional cleared-camp and dungeon-creature respawns are both off by default.
  • Full resets rebuild configured dungeons with current room counts; tombstones postpone them and player buildings or bases block them.
  • Admins can restore generated surface trees, bushes, rocks, ore and loose resources by command; surface regeneration is never automatic.
  • Per-kind delays, dry runs and return notices let hosts inspect what will regenerate. Nearby players, bases and changed generator layouts can block restoration.
  • Thing optionally provides an admin page with dungeon and resource clocks; overlapping reset/refill mods disable the corresponding Delve module.
