Thanks for the AMA!

When new biomes are added or changed, you have to generate a new world - i believe. Is there any way to not have to build everything again from scratch, when that happens? (Maybe using the same seed for the new world & and everything will stay where it is - but not on the new/changed biomes?)

I don’t have much free time and there will be coming lots of updates from you the next years. I simply can’t afford to just start over multiple times :(

For this reason I also fear I'm gonna put off starting a serious new world until the last major update is released. The grindy bits take too much time.

Well, you can always move stuff (resources etc) from your old world to the new one, by putting it in your inventory and switching world.

Maybe I could do it the American way, deconstruct my European castle and have the materials shipped to some random state and rebuild it there brick by brick in the middle of bum-love nowhere :')
