Better Altars

  • Each Flame level allows twice as many Flame Altars as in the base game: 4 at Flame level 1, up to 32 from level 11 on. You choose the count.
  • Flame Altar zones that touch form a group. Each altar of the group grows, so the group covers as much ground as its altars would apart. No zone shrinks.
  • You may place a piece across the seam between two zones of a group.

The server and every player need it.

Up to 255 altars fit in 16 bases: altars whose zones touch share one. The game refuses an altar that would start a 17th base. Set count.bases to allow up to 179 bases, then start the game again. Without the mod, only the first 16 altar zones work as bases.

Better Altars comes in enshwick.zip, and the install guide shows where to put it. It needs Enshwick. Delete More Altars and Flame altar zones: Better Altars takes over their settings.

The settings guide shows how to change them in the game.

The game refuses a new altar as “too many altars”. Place it touching one of your bases.

The zones did not grow after you changed clusters. Load the world again.

A dedicated server stops before a world with more than 16 altars loads. Update Enshwick and the mod. logs/enshwick/loader.log says why.

Anything else. Open an issue in the mod’s repository. Attach the files from the logs/enshwick/ folder in your game folder.
