There is already one "more locations" mod. Unless there is a good reason for why should this be separate, it shouldn't be a separate mod.

More locations mod contain large multitile Z-level structures. Locations in current mod are much smaller.

Locations shouldn't be in a mod anyway unless they are in some way inappropriate for mainline inclusion (like missing item/monster spawns, specific to theme of mod that does not match game theme, etc).

While I agree what we really want is to mainline this content, there's also no good reason to exclude it. I would ask that it have a distinctive name to prevent confusion.

I would like to move these new locations to core eventually, but they are probably not ready for it yet.

Do you mean I need to change mod ident and/or name?

[kevingranade]

Yes both of those.

I name it more_buildings (More Buildings)!

Just a comment (hopefully not inhelpful or unwelcome; if so I apologize) - from the 'casual forumgoer who looks at the github' - you guys have a LOT of mods in the game with names like 'extra/more buildings' , and the last time I played with them, half of them were uh, really good, and half of them were uh...errorprone. Its getting to the point where I stopped using them because I couldn't tell what was horribly broken and what was usable. So uh, I'm just going to second that you maineline, when possible, working content. Or at least make it easier to figure out what should be activated and what the real differences are between them all.

Because to 'casual person who nevertheless follows the github and browses the forums' they all kinda look the same from the descriptions you see in world generation. It'd be like if I was playing a strategy game, and I wanted a star trek mod, and they were all named "Star Trek Mod", "Trek Mod", "That Star Trek Mod" and "Mod for Trekkies", its just a tad confusing. Again, I apologize if this is unwanted commentary, I don't mean to discourage or disparage you awesome coders.
