Creating a new world on a Vintage Story server allows administrators to implement major game updates or mod changes that require a fresh map to generate new ores and structures correctly. It provides a clean slate for the community, ensuring that all players start with equal resources and a world with new natural riches or surface copper. This process also allows you to adjust fundamental world-gen settings, such as climate distribution and geological upheaval, to create an entirely different survival experience.
