How possible is it to start BTW on an old world?

My question is pretty simple. If I had a world I had played vMC for a while now, is it possible to start the BTW tech-tree and go all the way to the end, or would there be some things I would be unable to do because the mod wasn't installed when I generated the world? I haven't seen anything I couldn't do, but I just wanted to make sure before I convert my vMC save I've had for a long time into a BTW save, put another 12 hours into it, and then realize I can't do something because I started the world with vMC. Note: the world was generated in 1.0.

FC has said he doesn't want to alter the world gen, so there's nothing like that. It's perfectly fine to install on an old world. (I did) Just find some hemp seeds and plant 'em.

You don't need oil strictly speaking though; it's just convenient. Plus, it'll still generate in new chunks without creating any errors in the terrain, so even that'd be fine.

But doesn't it create massive holes in the ground?

massive holes DEEP in the ground. mostly only a "spout" of oil above ground. tho sometimes you can find a small pool of oil above ground

Works perfectly fine, I installed BTW into my 1.7 original world in version 1.0 after being in it for 6 months.

Yay for FC's design philosophy then, gonna start up on my "Cake Survival" world tonight...
Note: My Cake Survival world is a personal challenge I made up where tried to fill as much of a chunk with cake as possible. So far I have 4 1/2 16x16 floors covered with cake, I hope to automate the process with BTW :D
