Need some help generating a world.
« on: April 19, 2011, 08:52:14 am »
Hello there,

I figured I'd give generating worlds another go, as I normally spend 5 hours trying to find that perfect spot.

Basically, I want a spot, flat/flat as possible, with -a lot- of trees and shrubs, moving water, and the difficult thing, a vulcano with magma on the ground level or at most 5 levels below it.

So I would like to generate a world that's basically one huge thick forest with vulcano's in it.

I've been playing with the default settings and "change a little, see what it does" approach, but I'm thinking I should instead set everything to 0 and build it from the ground up.

Anyone bored at work give me some pointers on where to start?
