Will we need to create a new world even if we haven't explored the certain biomes yet?
I know the Devs said that they recommend starting a new world. I recall them mentioning something about new additions to the plains biome. However, if I just started a new world and have yet to explore the plains and other biomes, will I need to start a new world to get the new update features/items or will they be procedurally generated in once I get closer to those areas? Hopefully this makes sense, thanks.

I thought so but just wanted to make sure. I recently started playing again and started a new world, but have yet to explore past the black forest near my starting area/island. It's largely dependent on how much of the map you've explored. Basically anywhere you've already been within 500m of is set in stone and won't generate any of the new content.

Will that apply to any character that has been on the map. I.E. if one character has explored the map, but another character never loaded it?
Any exploration by any player on that server/instance makes things set.

Just start over and use the same seed.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a procedurally generated world? Just start over and use the same seed.

I wouldn't think so. I think the devs are just trying to renew the interest of anyone who's dropped off so they commit more hours to the game.
