Cavern Layer Passage Density

You can set the min/max amounts for this in your custom worldgens... but what does it do? The other new fields make sense. Anyone got a clue?

The higher, the more passages between cavern z-layers?

Nope, the higher the density setting, the more 1 tile wide parts there are in the caverns.
If you make it 100/100, then there will be nothing but an endless spiderweb of 1 tile wide passages, instead of large open caves.

I made mine 0/0 and there's just great big open caverns, just the way I like it.

The openness setting controls how big the caverns are.

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.
or maybe throw them into the large hadron collider to atom-smash them instead.
Not to mention to throw all available animals into tiny pits.

Ah. Well, that's a bit counter-intuitive at first. Makes sense now that I think about it.

Thanks!
