Tellus: Atlas & Wildlife 0.8.5 - Climate Fauna Maps + Discovery Audit
Apply over TAW 0.8.4.
- FAUNA WORLD MAP CLIMATE COLORS
The 0.8.4 world-map detail page now colors distribution overlays by broad visual habitat/climate instead of using one green color for every GeoBox.
Non-aquatic ranges are split by latitude only for rendering:
- HOT: 30 S to 30 N (warm coral)
- TEMPERATE: 30 to 55 degrees N/S (leaf/sage green)
- COLD: poleward of 55 degrees (cool blue)
Water-associated fauna use AQUATIC teal/cyan across their whole range.
This is deliberately a VISUAL classification. Spawn geography remains the authoritative GeoBox database and is completely unchanged. A broad GeoBox can therefore display two or three climate colors without adding a second range database.
Aquatic display classification covers:
- all Hybrid Aquatic fauna
- Aquaculture fauna except Box Turtle
- explicit aquatic/amphibious Alex's Mobs, Naturalist and Critters species
PERFORMANCE: At most five small rectangle draws per non-aquatic GeoBox while the selected fauna detail page is actually visible. No tick, cache, networking or data is added.
- KANGAROO DISCOVERY FIX
Kangaroo was NOT missing from TAW. It was already:
- in ALEX_REAL
- geographically allowed in Australia
- a Terrestrial Spawn Assist target
- a curated wildlife advancement (+5-level reward)
- part of Australian Icons
The problem was the 0.8.3 close-discovery rule: Kangaroo still used the normal 8-block radius. It is now in the existing large/exception class:
- Kangaroo discovery radius: 18 blocks
- line of sight: still required
This uses the existing exception mechanism and adds no processing.
- CATALOG REVIEW / AUDIT HARDENING
No clear missing real-fauna entries were found in the currently targeted catalogs during this pass.
Source-level checks confirmed:
- Alex's Mobs port registry: TAW accounts for all 116 EntityTypes (59 real fauna + 57 excluded/helper/fantasy).
- Hybrid Aquatic current 1.21.1-multiloader registry: TAW accounts for all 136 EntityTypes (126 real fauna + 10 excluded/helper/fantasy).
Naturalist remains 47 real animals in the integrated 2.0.2 catalog; Aquaculture and Critters retain their previously audited catalogs.
To make future jar drift easier to detect, runtime registry verification now also applies to Alex's Mobs and Hybrid Aquatic when /taw audit is run. Previously command-time runtime verification was limited to Naturalist, Aquaculture and Critters.
The registry scan remains COMMAND-ONLY. It never runs from spawning, ticks, Journal rendering or Wildlife Discovery.
