Questions about caverns and the magma sea.
« on: January 07, 2015, 12:47:14 am »

Hello! So I was wondering, if I wanted just 1 cavern at say z level -30, and the magma sea/HFS shortly below it, is there any way I could make this happen with worldgen or something? It's kind of a pain to punch through the amount of caverns you have to to get to the magma.

In advanced world gen:
[CAVERN_LAYER_COUNT:3] Gives 3 caverns
[CAVERN_LAYER_COUNT:2] Gives 2 caverns
[CAVERN_LAYER_COUNT:1] Gives 1 cavern
[CAVERN_LAYER_COUNT:0] Gives no caverns

If you want closer magma without sacrificing caverns try adjusting [LEVELS_ABOVE_LAYER_4:<number>]
Change <number> to how many layers you want between the bottom of the third cavern and the magma sea.

Also [LEVELS_ABOVE_LAYER_3:<number>] is for between the second and third caverns,
[LEVELS_ABOVE_LAYER_2:<number>] is for between first and second,
and [LEVELS_ABOVE_LAYER_1:<number>] is for between the first cavern and the surface.
