Some semi-random thoughts on terrain generation

[xoft]

What happens if you use OrePockets and DirtPockets with the same seed:

(Note the dirt around all the coal)

[bearbin]

is that bad or good?

[NiLSPACE]

Bad Is it possible to use the block ID as the seed?

[xoft]

The defaults take care of that problem - the OrePockets use WorldSeed + 1, the DirtPockets use WorldSeed + 2 by default (but both can be changed in the INI config - just in case someone actually wants that)

What did you use to make this image?

[NiLSPACE]

I believe it's Minutor.

[xoft]

Yes, Minutor. https://github.com/mrkite/minutor

Look what I've found:

The corridors are a little long though. I think we should reduce them a bit, and create more structures like that bridge prefab.

Also, the diagonal corridors don't look that good after all.

@xoft do you think it's possible to make the PieceGenerator choose prefabs with less connectors the further they are away from the starting point?

[xoft]

I wouldn't want to hardcode that into the generator, it's better to adjust the individual pieces' weights and repeat-weights (AddWeightIfSame set to a negative number, in this case)
