Indeed it does. I can confirm.

I returned to my first seed (which was my favourite one) and went to a place in the plaines where I've never been before.
And after al while I really found a Tar pit. That's awesome!

When the tar pit update came out I was so angry with me for removing the war fog.
I thought I had to drop this seed and I did. Now I'm happy I can still use it :-)
Baby, here I come. welcome home.

Happy hunting! :)

Thanks for the help. I'll go check a new place and see if we have any tar pits.

In my understanding, yes. Try it out and report back.

"Will new content be added to my world I currently are playing on?

New content such as tar pits, mountain caves and Mistlands in the future will not appear in areas that have been already generated. Areas are generated 300-500 meters from a player's location. "Exploremap" and "resetmap" has no effect."

Wait: does this mean that if I used the console cheat in order to uncovers the map it does have no effect on the world generation?
So in other words, in case I would visit an area that I've never been before but was already uncovered via map-cheat could still contain tar pits?
Even if it was befor the update tart pit were added to the game?

Probably. Depends on how much you explored. Anything you've explored wont populate with new content. Anything unexplored will.

"What will happen to my world when the game is updated?

We can't know this 100%. The things you have already built should still remain, and ideally you will be able to keep playing on your existing world. However, it's not certain that you will be able to access all of the new game content without starting a new world."
