Noise

Defines the parameters for a noise function.

Key Value Pairs

Key	Value Type	Value Subtype	Description	Valid Values
type	String		Noise algorithm to use	"Perlin"
octaves	Number		Number of waves to add for Perlin noise
frequency	Number		Initial frequency of wave for Perlin noise, doubled for each octave
amplitude	Number		Initial amplitude of wave for Perlin noise, halved for each octave
alpha	Number		Perlin "Noisieness" - The closer this is to 1, the noisier the noise is
beta	Number		Controls wave offset of successive octaves for Perlin noise

planetSizes

Object containing the sizes of planets. New Planet Size Objects can be added to create new sizes of planets. This Key Value pairs in this object take the form of: "size_id": <Planet Size Object>. For this reason, there is no fixed set of valid key value pairs, there can be any number of planet sizes.

Example

 "planetSizes" : {
   "SizeA" : {
     ... <Planet Size Object> ...
   },
   "SizeB" : {
     ... <Planet Size Object> ...
   },
   "SizeC" : {
     ... <Planet Size Object> ...
   }
 }

surfaceTerrains

Object containing the terrain generation parameters for surface terrain. New Surface Terrain Option Objects can be added to create new surface terrains. This Key Value pairs in this object take the form of: "terrain_id": <Surface Terrain Option Object>. For this reason, there is no fixed set of valid key value pairs, there can be any number of surface terrains.

Example

 "surfaceTerrain" : {
   "TerrainA" : {
     ... <Surface Terrain Option Object> ...
   },
   "TerrainB" : {
     ... <Surface Terrain Option Object> ...
   },
   "TerrainC" : {
     ... <Surface Terrain Option Object> ...
   }
 }

undergroundTerrains

Object containing the terrain generation parameters for underground terrain. New Underground Terrain Option Objects can be added to create new underground terrains. This Key Value pairs in this object take the form of: "terrain_id": <Underground Terrain Option Object>. For this reason, there is no fixed set of valid key value pairs, there can be any number of underground terrains.

Example

 "undergroundTerrain" : {
   "TerrainA" : {
     ... <Underground Terrain Option Object> ...
   },
   "TerrainB" : {
     ... <Underground Terrain Option Object> ...
   },
   "TerrainC" : {
     ... <Underground Terrain Option Object> ...
   }
 }

spaceTerrains

Object containing the terrain generation parameters for space terrain. New Space Terrain Option Objects can be added to create new space terrains. This Key Value pairs in this object take the form of: "terrain_id": <Space Terrain Option Object>. For this reason, there is no fixed set of valid key value pairs, there can be any number of space terrains.

Example

 "spaceTerrain" : {
   "TerrainA" : {
     ... <Space Terrain Option Object> ...
   },
   "TerrainB" : {
     ... <Space Terrain Option Object> ...
   },
   "TerrainC" : {
     ... <Space Terrain Option Object> ...
   }
 }

surfaceBiomeTerrains

Map containing the terrain options for specific biomes.

The keys in the map are Surface Biome Object ids. The values in the map are Surface Terrain Option ids defined in surfaceTerrains.

Any Surface Biome Object id not declared as a key in the map uses the terrain id defined by defaultSurfaceTerrain.

Example

 "spaceTerrain" : {
   "<Surface Biome Object A id>" : [
     "<Surface Terrain Option A id>",
     "<Surface Terrain Option B id>",
     ...
   ],
   "<Surface Biome Object A id>" : [
     "<Surface Terrain Option A id>",
     "<Surface Terrain Option B id>",
     ...
   ],
   "<Surface Biome Object A id>" : [
     "<Surface Terrain Option A id>",
     "<Surface Terrain Option B id>",
     ...
   ],
   ...
 }

undergroundLayer

Underground Layer Objects define the available biomes, detached biomes, and terrain for generating the underground layers of a planet. These are applied globally to all surface biomes as part of the undergroundLayers key.

Key	Value Type	Value Subtype	Description	Valid Values
biomes	Array	String	Array of enabled Underground Biome Object ids to be used as primary biomes
detachedBiomes	Array	String	Array of enabled Underground Biome Object ids to be used as mini-biomes
terrain	Array	String	Array of enabled Underground Terrain Option Object ids
