# File containing all settings for 'mapgen_rivers' mod.

#    Whether the map should be centered at x=0, z=0.
mapgen_rivers_center (Center map) bool false

#    Represents horizontal map scale. Every cell of the grid will be upscaled to
#    a square of this size.
#    For example if the grid size is 1000x1000 and block size is 12,
#    the actual size of the map will be 12000.
mapgen_rivers_blocksize (Block size) float 12.0 2.0 40.0

#    Minimal catchment area for a river to be drawn, in grid cells
#    (1 cell = blocksize x blocksize).
#    Lower value means bigger river density
mapgen_rivers_min_catchment (Minimal catchment area) float 25.0 1.0 1000.0

#    Catchment area in grid cells (1 grid cell = blocksize x blocksize)
#    at which rivers reach their maximal width of 2*blocksize.
#    Higher value means a river needs to receive more tributaries to grow in width.

#    Lateral slope of the riverbed.
#    Higher value means deeper rivers.

#    Enable horizontal distorsion (shearing) of landscape, to break the regularity
#    of grid cells and allow overhangs.
#    Distorsion uses two 3D noises and thus is intensive in terms of computing time.
mapgen_rivers_distort (Distorsion) bool true

#    Enable biome generation.
#    If 'biomegen' mod is installed, 'mapgen_rivers' will generate biomes from the
#    native biome system. If 'biomegen' is not present, will generate only grass and
#    snow.
mapgen_rivers_biomes (Biomes) bool true

#    Whether to enable glaciers.
#    Glaciers are widened river sections, covered by ice, that are generated in
#    very cold areas.
mapgen_rivers_glaciers (Glaciers) bool false

#    River channels are widened by this factor if they are a glacier.
mapgen_rivers_glacier_widening_factor (Glacier widening factor) float 8.0 1.0 20.0

#    Temperature value decreases by this quantity for every node, vertically.
#    This results in mountains being more covered by snow.

#    Modelled landscape evolution time, in arbitrary units
mapgen_rivers_evol_time (Landscape evolution time) float 10.0 0.0 100.0

#    Model time steps in arbitrary units
#    Smaller values will result in more time steps to be necessary to
#    complete the simulation, taking more time.

#    To adjust river erosion proportionnally.
#    This type of erosion acts by deepening the valleys.
mapgen_rivers_river_erosion_coef (River erosion coefficient) float 0.5 0.0 10.0

#    Represents how much river erosion depends on river flow (catchment area).
#    Catchment area is elevated to this power.
#    Extreme cases: 0.0 -> All rivers have the same erosive capabilities
#    1.0 -> Erosion is proportional to river flow
#    Reasonable values are generally between 0.4 and 0.7.
#
#    This parameter is extremely sensitive, and changes may require to adjust
#    'river_erosion_coef' as well.
mapgen_rivers_river_erosion_power (River erosion power) float 0.4 0.0 1.0

#    Intensity of diffusive erosion.
#    Smoothes peaks and valleys, and tends to prevent sharp cliffs from forming.
mapgen_rivers_diffusive_erosion (Diffusive erosion) float 0.5 0.0 10.0

#    Speed of evolution of tectonic conditions between steps
#    Higher values means tectonics will be very different from one step to the other,
#    resulting in geologically unstable and more varied landforms (plateau, gorge, lake...)

[Noises]

#    Y level of terrain at a very large scale. Only used during pre-generation.

#    Amplitude of the distorsion.
#    Too small values may leave the grid pattern apparent,
