cave_generator

Vars
biome_accepted_turfs	The turf types to replace with a biome-related turf, as typecache. Leave empty for all open turfs (but not closed turfs) to be hijacked.
birth_limit	How much neighbours does a dead cell need to become alive
closed_turf_types	Expanded list of the types that spawns if the turf is closed
death_limit	How little neighbours does a alive cell need to die
feature_spawn_chance	Base chance of spawning features
feature_spawn_list	Expanded list of extra features that can spawn in the area. Reads from the weighted list
flora_spawn_chance	Base chance of spawning flora
flora_spawn_list	Expanded list of flora that can spawn in the area. Reads from the weighted list
generated_turfs_per_biome	An associative list of biome type to the list of turfs that were generated of that biome specifically. Helps to improve the efficiency of biome-related operations. Is populated through `generate_terrain_with_biomes()`.
initial_closed_chance	Chance of cells starting closed
megafauna_spawn_list	Expanded list of Megafauna that can spawn in the area. Reads from the weighted list
mob_spawn_chance	Base chance of spawning a mob
mob_spawn_list	Expanded list of mobs that can spawn in the area. Reads from the weighted list
mob_spawn_no_mega_list	The mob spawn list but with no megafauna markers. autogenerated
open_turf_types	Expanded list of the types that spawns if the turf is open
perlin_zoom	Used to select "zoom" level into the perlin noise, higher numbers result in slower transitions
possible_biomes	2D list of all biomes based on heat and humidity combos. Associative by `BIOME_X_HEAT` and then by `BIOME_X_HUMIDITY` (i.e. `possible_biomes[BIOME_LOW_HEAT][BIOME_LOWMEDIUM_HUMIDITY]`). Check /datum/map_generator/cave_generator/jungle for an example of how to set it up properly.
smoothing_iterations	Amount of smoothing iterations
string_gen	Unique ID for this spawner
weighted_closed_turf_types	Weighted list of the types that spawns if the turf is closed
weighted_feature_spawn_list	Weighted list of extra features that can spawn in the area, such as geysers.
weighted_flora_spawn_list	Weighted list of flora that can spawn in the area.
weighted_mob_spawn_list	Weighted list of mobs that can spawn in the area.
weighted_open_turf_types	Weighted list of the types that spawns if the turf is open
Procs
generate_terrain_with_biomes	This proc handles including biomes in the cave generation. This is slower than `generate_terrain()`, so please use it only if you actually need biomes.
populate_terrain_with_biomes	This handles the population of terrain with biomes. Should only be called by `populate_terrain()`, if you find yourself calling this, you're probably not doing it right.

Proc Details

proc
generate_terrain_with_biomes
(/list/turfs, /area/generate_in)

This proc handles including biomes in the cave generation. This is slower than generate_terrain(), so please use it only if you actually need biomes.

This should only be called by generate_terrain(), if you have to call this, you're probably doing something wrong.

proc
populate_terrain_with_biomes
(/list/turfs, /area/generate_in)

This handles the population of terrain with biomes. Should only be called by populate_terrain(), if you find yourself calling this, you're probably not doing it right.

This proc won't do anything if the area we're trying to generate in does not have FLORA_ALLOWED or MOB_SPAWN_ALLOWED in its area_flags.
