Mistlands is Barren Even After Update?

I downloaded the new update, typed yesimadebackups into the properties window and all that, but aside from accessing the new fishing system and seeing a few mountains in The Mistlands as well as bugs, bunnies, and druger, The place is completely barren! No giant trees, no mist really... just patchy areas of grass, a few enemies, and some elevated heights. I've seen the gameplay for mistlands and I know there should be more than this.... from what I've seen it seems that starting a new world will refresh it but I don't wanna lose allmy progress/building/sacrifices/exploration in mt current world. Has anyone else had this problem and do they know a solution so I don't have to start over from scratch?

Since world renders even further than you can observe, you need to sail in the area never "seen" before to ensure it wasn't rendered before.
It worked! Thanks everyone!

Before the update came out, I already explored a whole area of mistlands while nothing was on it so I'd have it mapped out going into it. I was wondering if sailing to some uncharted area of the world and exploring mistlands there would fix the problem, from what you described sounds like it's worth a shot?

Areas that were already discovered (within 500 meters) of anywhere the character has been, will not get updated, meaning that, since you went to mistlands (prior to update) to "map it out" is the exact reason why it is still blank area for you.

Only un-charted areas of the map can receive the updated content.

As mentioned, there are mods which can fix that, but it means your whole map will become "undiscovered" again.

In one old world that I tried with the test branch all old mistlands that I visited before, got regenerated. Perhaps they have less stuff, I didn't check.

"Install" the UPGRADE WORLD mod and use it, it worked well at my side with my 1300 days old world.
