wait, so the caves are only available in the beta branch?

Im pretty sure it was just released to the main branch this week.

ther is a mod you can use, to reset the lands. I used this on my main world and it worked fine. you can select which land type to reset, so you dont have to reset all lands. and it is base safe, didnt lose a thing.

I recommend making a back up before trying.

Ok, i guess i'll set sail again and see what i can find. Where i was (currently exploring and farming silver) is far off from my home bases, so therefore, i can gather up and move, no biggie. Thanls for the input. I was just wondering what i was doing wrong. I'll slide an update in later.

Try a new ''undiscovered'' mountain with a Moder vegisvir locator on it. There should be a few caves there for sure, as the boss mountains are usually massive, so should meet the new cave requirements. try that maybe. (if you find a new Moder locator stone)

- Starting with the "did you plug it in?" option... Are you in the BETA test?
- Are you playing a map you've started in the non beta/main game? You need to sail a few world biome seams away from what you've discovered to generate new terrain from what I've read. To be fair I've not located caves in my old world and had to generate a new map out of exhaustion. I dubbed this new map hellscape, and IT IS. There was no starting meadow. The stone circle was its own island in the black forest. Nearly drowned getting to the mainland. The nearby mountain had 7 caves and a Moder. I've had some extreme map topology which may also be a factor or necessary change to make caves spawn. My mountains are not gradual height increases. A lot of them are massive sheer walls with thin stripes of swamp or black forest below. It might be a height map thing where they need to be a certain distance from sea level to generate caves? Hence the new map being so extreme?
- If ya are doing everything right I would be interested to know the needed distance to travel through undiscovered map on a carry over server to generate a mountain with caves.

They are sometimes very hard to find especially with the regular snow storms which reduce visibility close to null. Then it seems that small mountain ranges mostly dont have any. The Highest number of mountain caves i could find so far had been 3 caves in one of the largest mountain areas on my map. I might not have found all yet though.
