I see that the state this mod is now is horrible. Now, as I passed my final
|
||
|
|
exams, i decided to spend more time on this. Since I cannot write a
|
||
|
|
complete geological simulator, I decided on the following strategy:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Under like 5km generate only igneous rocks.
|
||
|
|
2. Abowe that generate sandstone, that will serve as placeholder for more rocks.
|
||
|
|
3. Generate a fixed amout of layers of rocks there.
|
||
|
|
- some igneous layers could represent lava spills
|
||
|
|
- including metamorphic rocks
|
||
|
|
4. Shift everything around (possibly multiple times) to simulate faults.
|
||
|
|
5. Create some intrusions (name?) and underground volcanic activity.
|
||
|
|
6. Create some veins.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using 2d noise as heightmap has one notable advantage: Looping over 80*80
|
||
|
|
nodes is faster than 80*80*80.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Minecraft mods I inspire from: Geologica, SGU bettergeo, geocraft.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Doing a complete geological mapgen could be possible too: Start with plate
|
||
|
|
tectonics, deposit rock in layer on top of each other, do some faults and
|
||
|
|
folding inbetween, put soil on top. This could produce an interesting
|
||
|
|
landscape.
