CompactSky World: Gold (Yellow Dandelion) blocked if machines open on Swamplands biomes

[MikeBurk]

Bug Report

We had created a new world, Prestige On (no currently saved up Prestige points) with the CompactSky world map (Brilliant map and idea - super, super fun). The dimension for the compact machines still uses a local biome map for which biome apply to which blocks. All seven of our initial machines have been generated in a Swamps biome. In order to unlock Gold, we need yellow dye, which seems to require either bonemealing grass in a non-Swamp biome or trading an Emerald at the Market. Still be locked before gold, I can't find a valid path to securing emeralds, and without being able to build out to a different biome (due to the CompactSkies), I can't find a way to bonemeal for yellow. Red was solvable with Beetroot.

Expected Behaviour

There to be an alternate path to yellow dye that did not require Compact Machines to require certain biomes.

Possible Solution

1) Expected there to be an alternate recipe for yellow dye (Corn? Wheat? Poison Potato? Something...) or.. 2) Market cost for Dandelions to be something farmable (Any of the other crops, or even dyes) or.. 3) Pickle Dyes to be achievable before having access to gold

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Create a Compact Sky world (Our seed was 773675490073049242
2. Start in Red starting box
3. Observe starting biome and the biomes for the first five machines all open up in Swamp biomes
4. Attempt to craft Gold amber - or more accurately find a source of yellow dye

There are other ways to get yellow dye early on:

• Craft and plant magic beans. They will eventually produce a dandelion, just be patient.
• Use JourneyMap to look at nearby biomes, build a path there and setup camp.

On my current server, I spawned in the Swamp biome and did both methods described above successfully. I had a Forest biome 8 chunks away. As a bonus, building out a grass area in the Forest biome also spawns cows, sheep, pigs and chickens!

This one is solvable. There are more difficult challenges ahead!

We did end up finding two non-intuitive workarounds, of which the Magic Beans was one. It is possible that the Magic Beans route is workable and just needs to be hinted?

You can not build out to another biome. It is CompactSky.

You can bone meal grass if you plant it in the Nether compact machine. Like with the Magic Beans though, this involved stepping out of the progression the adventure book was guiding you down up until that point.
