Advanced Parameters
To access advanced parameters, press 'e' when at the screen for creating new worlds with parameters screen. This will bring you to an editable list of various guidelines the world-gen process will use when creating your new world.
Parameter sets are stored in world_gen.txt in the \data\init folder, using world tokens. You can copy and paste other player's sets of parameters into your world_gen.txt to use their parameter sets, and some are provided at Pregenerated worlds. Another place to find parameter sets is the Worldgen cookbook thread on the official forums.
Caverns Parameters
Cavern Layer Number
This parameter determines how many cavern systems will be generated, not including the Magma layer or the Bottom layer. Defaults to three.
If this is 0 then you will not have Caverns on your map.
Layer Openness min\max
Still unknown. It doesn't seem to affect whether there's a wall at the edge of the map, but it may affect whether creatures will come in through the edges.
Layer Passage Density min\max
This determines whether caverns will be large open spaces (at 0), or broken up into a number of small vertical shafts(at 100).
Layer Watern min\max
Determines how many caverns will have water at the bottom. Note that, even at 100, there will be some amount of ground in caverns, but each cavern 'bubble' will contain some amount of water.
At 0, there will be no water in your caverns. This may impact future underground plant growth, although maps will still start with underground flora.
Magma Layer
Magma sea 4-5 layers at the bottom of map.
Bottom Layer
Cavern below magma sea. if "yes" the "HFS" layer is always present.
Z Levels
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Above ground | |
| Ground | |
| Above layer 1 | |
| Cavern Layer 1 | 1 have some level |
| Above layer 2 | 1 |
| Cavern Layer 2 | 2 have some level |
| Above layer 3 | 2 |
| Cavern Layer 3 | 3 have some level |
| Above Layer 4 | 3 |
| Magma Layer | 4 have up to 5 level |
| Above Layer 5 | 5 |
| Start Bottom Layer | 5 |
| Levels At Bottom | 5 |
- 1 if Cavern Layer Number > 0.
- 2 if Cavern Layer Number > 1.
- 3 if Cavern Layer Number = 3.
- 4 if Magma Layer = Yes or Bottom Layer = Yes.
- 5 if Bottom Layer = Yes.
