In the vast, merciless desert, there exist small spots of life and color. Areas rich in groundwater, or where the rainwater pools together in sufficient quantities to support a thriving and unique ecosystem: The Chromatic Oasis!
Here you find rare plants and animals, from the magnificent gem scorpion to the nourishing aquamelon.
Build your colony here, among the palms and the reeds, and show the desert that you do not fear it.

This mod is compatible with many mods, important ones being other biome mods.

Lots of colorful new plants and animals!

Birds: Palm Warbler and Heron

Bugs: Scarab, Scorpion, and Tarimtula

Crops: Dune Delight and Aquamelon

Other desert animals! Some vanilla, some not!

AND MORE - play to find out!

Suggested mods to use alongside Chromatic Oasis:
Sandcastles
Natural Paths
A bridge mod for heavy building bridges
Vanilla Fishing Expanded

A: You either report it to that mod, or do nothing. It is safe to ignore.

We're looking into the oasis spawn issue

@Sean I also have the issue of the Chromatic Oasis Biome replacing every desert and extrem desert. Which mod are you using for changing the biome commonality? I use "ReGrowth: Expanded World Generation (Continued)" by Mlie. I tested by lowering the biome commonality multiplier of the Chromatic Oasis from 100% (Base no changes, which then causes the issue) to 50%, this made it so the Biome didn't spawn at all (Normal generation of Dessert and Extrem Dessert). I haven't tested other numbers, but I believe changing the multiplier to anything below 100% makes it so the Biome doesn't spawn at all which kinda fixes the issue. If you are using the mod World edit 2.0 you can edit the Chromatic oasis back in. But the generation of this biome is defenetly bugged.

@Ciurrus I'm trying to use biome commonality to fix this but it doesn't have any effect. Does it work for you?

@Oldmanface Strange. I'll look into it.

I've noticed the Herons wont scavenge at all. I have them by a pond and a river and they starve unless i feed them.

+1 for all desert tiles or at least a significant portion of the map being Chromatic Oasis for a while now, I have to use Biome Commonality to reduce how many tiles this spawns, granted I have a shitton of mods but the only ones that change map tiles are your excellent series here and the Ashlands Mod.

I notice this mod doesn't have the same "Frequency" line as your other ones do with the "Biomes Kit" ? I may be misremembering what it says. if i can pin point the cause I'll mention it here. just crazy how much it covers and this wasn't always the case earlier this year.
