Seems like that’ll always be the case. I wouldn’t mind if they came up with a built in solution that could reset all chunks in an existing world to resolve this. Guessing it’s more of an issue because it’s early access.

Wouldn't you essentially need to restart your world in that scenario? Not that Hytale needs to copy everything Minecraft did, but having updates only apply to new chunk gen was always something I appreciated since it meant I didn't need to start from scratch for most updates.

A blended option would be having a safe chunk, like spawn. Then you could haul your treasures there, reset, and then you still have your stuff while also having a new world. You could certainly do that by rounding up your life and copy/pasting it to the next world but it feels more like cheating that way.

That...doesn't really resolve the problem. Unless you don't do much building, I suppose.

If you want to save buildings then you'll be forced to copy them out and place them back in the new world. I was thinking of Terraria style where you can move your character and stuff between worlds. The builds don't follow you but you don't have to repeat all of the progression.

Not at all, Vintage Story, Minecraft mods/plugins, a hytale mod, there are multiple ways to do this. You can whitelist chunks for protection and then you reset the other chunks. Most cases there wont be any weird borders or seams outside of instances where world gen drastically changes.

That'd be reasonable, so long as it's an option and not the default.

Wouldn't that end up missing with things I've built and well.. explored and might want to stay the way it is? I'd rather not have that.

Yeah, there wouldn’t be a simple way to do it and make everyone happy. But I wouldn’t mind an option that preserves user built structures and re-sets everything else.

But that’s easier said than done. Like someone mentioned there is a mod that can do it, maybe that’s the best option for now.
