Just a question. Isn't world gen for 1.3.2.1 exactly the same as for 1.3.1.1?
Yeah, but fixes in tmodloader and the possibility of mods spawning 1.3.2 items or tiles means it's worth mentioning.
Edit: Oh, here are some screenshots, showing Tremor, Thorium, and Crystilium mods enabled. (Not like you can see, but the mod ores from tremor and thorium are there. You can see the Crystilium biome though)

Ah. That makes sense. Didn't mean to sound rude. Sorry. I was just curious.

i wonder if flat spawns r hardcoded in2 the game 
all of my attempts @ creating a crazy sprawling mountainous surface have a superflat spawn. (w/ like, some jagged dips, but the line of best fit is still basically flat) once it gets 2 the surface tunnels tho, we're good, but i wanted the world 2b fun 2 navigate & build in from the very beginning.
the important stuff im doing:
Large Expert World
surface height variance @ 1000%
lower limit @ ~16%
upper limit @ 35-40%
surface tunnels @ ~5000%
anything i should change?
it seems like the game deliberately chops off blocks in spawn after a certain height, right after all the blocks r generated. maybe the next feature could b a setting 2 tell the game not 2 butcher every single world like that

I don't know if this is possible but it would be interesting to be able to gen a world with a pre-existing above ground mushroom biome. And the ability to control the biome the initial spawn point is in. Currently it's possible to have it in the Forest or Snow biome and while you can spawn on a cloud island I think that might technically be a bug. Snow starts and cloud island starts can be interesting and it would be cool to be able to choose them instead of just hoping. And I suppose someone might want to try other biome starting points as a challenge mode or something.

I had some suggestions/requests previously:
Are any of those possible? Do any of them sound interesting? Particularly 1, 6, 7 and 9 would be nice.
Thanks in advance if any are added!I've been meaning to download the source and take a look at it but I never remember. If TerraCustom uses the same decompiler as TModLoader, then I might not be able to do much anyway. The decompiler doesn't play nice with the GOG version of Terraria. It's another thing I've been meaning to investigate properly, and another thing I never remember / have the time for...
I've added an option for this in the latest. Check in Terrain once you update.i wonder if flat spawns r hardcoded in2 the game

I'm on the fence on the surface mushroom biome, but maybe, I should be able to see if it'll be hard or not. Starting points might be cool, but right now the cloud thing is a bug. Being in the middle of the map is best for actually playing the game though.
I want to get around to corruption/crimson amounts. I don't really care for paintings, and they might end up being incredibly painful to add an option for that.I had some suggestions/requests previously:

Furniture too, it's all integrated in their respective code segments.
The snow not being at spawn should be possible, I'll have to remember to try for that next update.
I guess I could have an option for enchanted swords shrines being real, but arkhalis dropping is impossible. What menu should that option be in?
Non-stripe Hallow segments would mean me writing a lot of code, not sure if I want to do that.
The shadow orbs/crimson hearts is my bad, I thought it would be cool, but I guess people thought otherwise.
Guaranteeing pyramids might be hard.
Sand spawn -- Sure, should be easy.
The towers are written in a way that makes it real hard to mess with, but maybe.
Update Released: v0.3.4
- Fixed a bunch of Minecart problems. You should be able to do 300% small and 100% Double Wide Large with no problems.
- Plus, a useful "X out of 30" message and a moving progress bar during minecart track generation helps you know that it's not frozen.
- "Bypass Spawn Area Flatness" option in Terrain allows your spawn area to be just as hilly as the rest of your world.
Bonus: Should I include this option for allowing minecarts in underworld and on surface?

Yes. Yes! YES! Yes please! Also yes! ~ahem~ Now for more coherent conversation; this would generate some really interesting and cool maps! Hopefully it'll play nice with already generated and edited levels too.

Can someone please move this to the work in progress thread til a link becomes available? I keep clicking it only to find its not complete.

The updated links work fine for me. Seems a bit overkill to move the entire thread just for a problem on your end, no?

Error what link? The main thread says "No link yet but soon"
In a spoiler
Edit ... oh now I see it...
OP will you please clean your thread you just made me feel like a tool.
What is going on, are you posting on the wrong thread? My OP has nowhere the words "No link yet but soon." Also, the download links are all right there near the top of the post.
Large World Enabler, the tModLoader mod that enables you to actually play worlds taller than 2400 and/or wider than 8400, has finally been released.
You'll need tModLoader v0.8.3.2 to use it.
A standalone vanilla mod is possible....but I'll wait for a real demand for it before I put effort into building it.

Is there any way to get crimson and corruption (whether they are made to both spawn simultaneously *or* just one of them in the world) to NOT generate on-top of other biomes, specifically the ice biome? This is pretty much my only problem using this otherwise fantastic tool. But no matter which configuration I use, I always seem to get the ice biome completely covered by them in any world created from TerraCustom. This doesn't seem to happen nearly as much with vanilla map gen.
Not sure if there's a way to lock crimson/corruption to standard forest areas so they don't override so much of the other biomes. Ideally, I'd love to have worlds that have jungle, ice, desert, crimson, corruption etc all featured somewhat equally and exclusively without too much overlap pre-hardmode. Most of these are fine if I choose to spawn jungle on the opposite side of the world -- but ice just gets obliterated.
Apologies if this has already been addressed. Thanks for all the incredible work you've done.

How do I use this with tmodloader mods? Better Question ... whenever I try to make a world it makes me run 0.8.3.1 tmodloader ... why?
This mod uses functionality only present in the latest tModLoader. Please update tModLoader to use this mod
at LargeWorldEnabler.LargeWorldEnabler.Load()
at Terraria.ModLoader.ModLoader.do_Load(Object threadContext)
After launching from steam
Profit ...

The current Terracustom uses tmodloader 0.8.3.1 as it's codebase. I didn't plan for the fact that large world enabler won't load on pre 0.8.3.2, but it's ok, it will just disable it and then it'll load fine. Once you get back into tmodloader and want to play, then you'll want to enable that mod.
Next update I'll update the codebase.

Okay sounds great
