So I've been messing around with advanced parameters of worldgen lately, and I've encountered something mildly infuriating: On about half of the maps I generate, the ocean dries up. Just flat-out turns into a desert. What determines this? Is it a matter of elevation? Drainage? Rainfall? I'd really like to keep the big ocean I'm building my map around, but I can't seem to hang onto it. What rejection parameters could I set to have the worldgen throw out any worlds without an ocean at the end?

Sorry if this got a bit rambling, it's late and I'm frustrated. Thanks in advance for any input.

Okay, I feel kind of dumb now because, as it turns out, the ocean is still there. It's just evil, and therefor brown, which I mistook for sand (brown tildes look like yellow tildes to my addled mind).

Don't mind me.

Made this for you.

That... is incredible.

Now if you don't want the ocean to be evil, set desired evil squares in large biomes (or something similar) to 0. Certain settings result in a world result in a patchwork world where only the world encircling ocean is large enough to be considered a 'large' region.
