&nbsp;

<span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Wilderlands modules seek to expand the space between intention and achievement. In <span class="hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline"><span class="whitespace-normal">Vintage Story</span></span>, there is no final win screen — only the paths we carve through resistance. These modules give weight to stone, danger to the deep, and tension to survival. The monument may stand visible, but the struggle to raise it is where the story lives. Make it a good one.</span>

<span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wilderlands Caves transforms mining into an expedition. Massive fracture caverns span the underground, exposing ores more readily while introducing scale, verticality, and real navigational risk. Descent is often easy. Extraction — of both resources and yourself — demands planning and composure.</span>

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">The New Fracture Cave System</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Wilderlands Caves introduces deep underground “fracture layers” that span across the world.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Each fracture layer:</span>

• <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Scales across large distances</span>

• <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Features heavily varied floors and ceilings using layered noise</span>

• <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Includes rock columns spanning floor to ceiling</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The result is massive, often continent spanning, underground cave strata layers that feel tectonic rather than eroded.</span>

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;">Extensive Configuration</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The mod includes a powerful config file that allows you to shape each fracture layer’s characteristics.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You can:</span>

• <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Increase or reduce the number of fracture layers</span>

• <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Adjust offsets to control where layers generate</span>

• <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Modify parameters to change cave shape and feel</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Adding a New Fracture Layer</span>

1. <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Copy one of the existing fracture layer arrays (see config screenshot).</span>

2. <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Paste it at the bottom of the list.</span>

3. <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Rename it (any name works).</span>

4. <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Adjust the "offset" value to control vertical placement.</span>

5. <span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Modify parameters to shape the new layer.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Layers can overlap. Slight offset adjustments can create fractured, floating, or shattered cave systems.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">You can absolutely shred your world with this thing.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Do not make major config changes to an existing world without testing first.</span>
