How To Make Better Maps In WorldBox! 

8:31 8:46 People named Savannah unsubbing right now

For rivers, use the earthquake. It makes them look a lot better, warp tools are super helpful too. And as for beaches, I think that they look way better if you just let them erode

it’s a good tutorial, but there’s a few things I would personally add: -elevation patterns. the forest is at a higher elevation than fertile soil, and therefore it should look as such -mountain ridges. you kinda did this, but it’s important to be able to recognize natural watersheds for realistic maps -realistic rivers. rivers very rarely bifurcate (split moving downhill). rivers will always instead join together. rivers also always travel the route of least resistance. -biome logic. savannah and desert is more likely to occur in areas away from the coast or dry areas. swamp or jungle usually near the coast in humid areas. mountain ridges define humidity -coast realism. coasts can be smooth in areas, but the majority of coasts are rocky. also, sandbars are a very nice touch especially in high current open waters. bays are usually best for smooth sand coasts. again these are just personal preferences. it’s a game lol. keep up the quality videos, I really enjoy them :)

Tip: if you want a bit more detail, you start at close ocean, then slowly move up the levels until you have reached the ground layers

rivers tend to merg rather than split unless it’s a river delta, so you we see two rivers collide more often than a river splitting into two

Just a tip for everyone looking to make realistic maps; rivers generally don't split. They tend to combine together while going down from the mountains. So for example, you could have a large river flowing down from a mountain, joined by small tributary rivers flowing into the bigger river while streaming down hill towards the ocean. There are cases of rivers splitting, such as the Nile, but it's rare.

Thank you very much for that that's going to be helping me a whole lot send well my Island Building skills are horrible and when I make one mistake I never want to fix it because when I do try to fix it I end up making it worse so with this video you have helped me quite a while

"think like a river" *Smashes a river through a mountain range

This was actually really nice. I just got the game a few days ago, and my maps are kinda flat and childlike. Thanks for the tips!

I fucking love this tutorial so god damn much I swear to god you made my maps go from a circle to something decent enough to be called a map

"Try to think like a river." Thank you for the life lesson.

Thank you so much! I am really happy and thankful for this tutorial. I'm now a fan of you! :)

I love these types of videos man. Keep it up

Savannah and also the secret biome pair well together because they have the same looking trees

tip: add shallow waters and close ocean across the beach so it looks like continental shelf

Thanks for the tips✨, I'm your new subscriber :)

this man has probally taught me more than my actually art teachers AND HES JUST MAKING A WORLD IN WORLD BOX (but very cool)

Thanks the video. Such a brilliant game

Thank you! Now my new worlds look so much better!

Thanks for making this helpful video. I just spent all day today making a world with 5 main continents and two smaller island continents. And I did not have 1 river on any of them. Here I was thinking: there should be a river button, and now I learned how to make one with smaller brushes. It took so long because I'm a stickler for detail, so I am happy to know making maps can take so little time.

wow thank's this really did help at making actual good islands and map's

THANK YOU BRO BECAUSE OF YOU I CAN MAKE MY MAPS MORE BETTER!!! (TANK YOU)

you can also make shallow waters near the beaches like the map randomizer

Nice, I completely forgot about the Vortex tool. Thanks!

SUPER NICE Very helpful, thank you!

Bruh, that's awesome. Always, wanted to make my own custom maps, but it always came out kinda plain. All the tips are nice, gonna make an awesome map for each race having diff land mass.

My maps will be way cooler now thanks to you 👍

gorg you are my great helper this was so helpfull thankyou

Thanks, i really wanted to do these kinds of islands, thanks again!

This was really helpful thanks!

Forest spots inside of an overall regular soil looks nice, too!

Tip: use the decrease land brush to create rivers, the brush is focused to the middle, making an inclined riverbed

As an artist I never struggled with making maps. Drawing fantasy maps like from Lotr is kind of a hobby of mine

Thank you! This helped me a lot!

Thank you so much! I used too never ever make my own maps thank you so much

You are now my new favorite RU-vidr

It doesn't seems so real but its super helpful brother. I subscribed you for this video :)) BTW your channel name is a Iranian name that means Wolf Gorg in Persian means wolf

Thank you for the tips to make a nice world.. now I will go play worldbox now.

The game overwhelms me too much but it seems so fun so thank you for this

This guy is one of the best worldbox gamers i have ever seen!

Noice I will definitely use this

This helped me so much thanks!!!! 😊

Love your videos, dude.

I enjoyed this

I use this video constantly as a reference. Thanks.

this is so usefull thank you so MUCH i always make really bad islands that look like a square always so this helps out ALOT so thanks :D

Holy moly this is a very good tutorial

I mixed the swamp and mushroom biomes together and its looks so good

Good to know that somebody has gotten the same line of thought as i do, when creating maps :D

Okay, my tip is for the very bottom layer to be close ocean, then shallow ocean, then sand, and make rivers shallow ocean and the center of lakes (and larger rivers) be more close ocean, but yeah, vortex tool is amazing.

I like to use the earthquake tool as it will add some nice looking mountains or some casual looking lakes

Thank you! I made a great made, thanks to you!

good to come abck to this video and realize ive been being too touchy or overzealous with certain things thank you💪👍

Good tutorial, try focusing also on the weather zones and the degre of the map like that is on earth it will make it even more realistic

Thank you now i can try to be good at creating worlds like this

Thank you sooooo much your the best!!! 🙏

I usually just make the whole map land then create a giant bike on the middle for ocean. Your method is pretty amazing. I'll try that if i have time.

also this will come extremely useful im going to sub

I like being lazy it's not calling being stupid it's called... Not having an artistic vision

helped alot! i'll never have to just add a giant mound of dirt in the middle of the ocean and say "theres my map" ever again

Me: doesn't even play this game Also me: seems like a good video to watch at 3 am with a test tomorrow.

this was very helpful

So helpful thank yoi

Take my like Gorg TAKE IT!! 😩😩✨

I use alot create island & earthquakes but i didnt know about the vortex thanks

Worked for me and I made a cool map.

I always like to add sand to the coastline because it makes the land look nicer and more define

First of all, terrific video. Second of all, I have never heard of this game or played it before

I make maps just by making a rough sketch of the islands with close ocean, then add detail from shallow waters, to sand, then to soil and mountains and I finish with rivers and biomes( I decide which biomes I want where in the close ocean phase)

This video helped me out

Wow! This is a great tutorial! (the snow didn't work) I made a very impressive map using this!

Thanks man!

Thanks for that tutorial

the swamp and jungle is a pretty good mix too

Good commentary and hard to pin down sense of humour

This is very nice

You help a lot

For me i generally simply make sort of zig zaggy movements at random points, usually works for an interesting map though you have to do this multiple times

Thanks

I used the shovel to randomly move terrain up and it works fine in unison with the rivers

Thanks I really needed this cus the maps I make sucks

Thank you very much

Thank you so much

Dude I love watch you making maps, can you make a big one?

I usually make rivers wide and shallow as they get closer to the ocean as rivers tend to do this in real life, and I use very thin water lanes as river deltas.

making maps in worldbox is fun but also frustrating cause of the lack of an undo button. once the devs add that feature, I bet even more people are gonna make maps than there are right now

Thanks a lot I’m a Newby playing the game and I had why do you have to make my own map

Bro explained it like he is the Bob Ross of world box. 😃 Edit: I would have put swamp near the patch of rivers where he put mushrooms, and put mushrooms closer to the mountains.

Thank you very much for making this video so now I can try make so many more maps and is it ok to put a ice biome just saying if it’s ok to make a ice biome and is it ok to put humans on the biomes when your finished

Thank u man

Thank you

Here’s a tip I learned, if you want boreal trees without the snowy dirt, you can freeze the ground, plant the trees, heat it up again, and then plant the grasslands biome!

IMO cool man

You should add shallow water around your island to make it more realistic

A thing I do is use the finger tool to customize things better

I love dis vid

you could dig it with the shovel and later do tiny details with the other shovel

You should try making episode 3 of this thing at 200k!

Gorg, you should create a Discord server, for your community to enjoy !😁

You kindve have to split function and aesthetic, if you want to actually use the world don't make alot small detail and small rivers keep it big, but finessed I guess, also helps if you try to keep river branches and mountains kinda simple as it helps for that natural look, but if you want fine details then do it, but in moderation. I make alot of maps so if any way I could help
