World Gen question parameters.
« on: April 13, 2010, 12:29:25 pm »

A few quick question.
What do the parameters 'Z levels above layer #' change, I cant make sense of the values, is it for example the thickness of a layer or? Will changing it make a layer thicker/thinner e.t.c

Also how do I change the min/max number of Z-levels, Id like to save myself some FPS if I can.

I always enjoy getting those immigrants that are like "I can make soap and potash and lye and cheese and-" then I cut them off with a "Hope you like bricks!" as I turn them into a mason.

I believe the "Z-levels above layer #" values are the number of z-levels above those layers.

Set all layers to minimum, embark on a flat terrain far away from lake/ocean. This is the main principle for maximizing fps.
