-- CONFIGURATION:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

baseHeight = 10
-- ^ The main height factor for the terrain.

mountainHeight = 12
-- ^ How tall should mountains be relative to the baseHeight of the terrain

mountainMaterialWeight = 0.4
-- ^ The chance that a mountain terrain chunk will generate using slate rather than rock
--    Should be a number between 0 and 1
--    0 = only rock, 1 = only slate, 0.5 = half n half
canyonMaterialDensity = 0.1
-- ^ The limestone rarity
-- 0 = No Limestone at all , 1 = Only limestone (NOT RECOMMANDED) , 0.2 = small bumps (Realist)
-- Note that limestone is not very different from sand, but it adds some realism
chunkScale = 4
-- ^ The grid scale for terrain generation.

renderDist = 90
-- ^ The length/width of chunks in voxels that should be around the player at all times

xScale = 30
-- ^ How much we should strech the X scale of the generation noise

zScale = 30
-- ^ How much we should strech the Z scale of the generation noise

waterLevel = -0.9
-- ^ Determines if we should generate ponds if the height level goes below this
--    Should be a number between -1 and 1
--    -1 = no water, 0 = all grass levels are filled with water, 1 = The entire map is flooded with water (Except for tall mountains)

seed = math.random()
-- ^ Seed for determining the height map of the terrain.
--    By default its random.
