01
How Expansion Starts
Expansion begins by choosing an eligible neighboring chunk from the Atlas. OneChunk does not automatically decide your route for you.
The direction matters because each new claim changes what terrain, resources, structures, biomes, and future neighboring chunks become available.
02
Earning the Chunk
A selected chunk is not unlocked immediately. It becomes an expansion project with requirements that must be completed first.
- Contribute required items from progression available to your claimed world.
- Fund the required money cost when the project uses an economy requirement.
- Finish all requirements before the target becomes ready to unlock.
03
When Expansion Completes
Once the project is complete, the target chunk is generated or unlocked as part of your OneChunk world and becomes normal claimed territory.
The newly claimed land then becomes part of the foundation for future expansions.
04
Important Rules
Expansion is meant to reward survival progression rather than bypass it.
- Only adjacent eligible territory can be expanded into.
- Unclaimed territory is not treated as normal buildable land.
- Expansion is persistent; completed claims remain part of the world.
- The same overall philosophy also applies to Nether progression.
