planet_generator

Vars
biome_table	Effectively a 2D array of biomes, organized by heat categories, then humidity. Note that the heat categories are NOT all equal-size.
birth_limit	If an open (dead) cell has greater than this many neighbors, it become closed (alive).
cave_area	The area instance that will be used for all cave biomes.
cave_area_type	The type of the area that will be used for all cave biomes.
cave_biome_table	A 2D array of "cave" biomes that generate at "heights" above the mountain_height variable. Like normal biomes, they are organized by heat, then humidity; however, they do NOT use the same heat categories as the normal biome table does.
death_limit	If a closed (alive) cell has fewer than this many neighbors, it will become open (dead).
initial_closed_chance	Chance for a cell in the cavegen cellular automaton to start closed
mountain_height	If a turf's perlin-calculated "height" is above this value, a cave biome will be used to generate it. For best results, avoid values around 0.5; basic perlin noise can create noticeable straight-line artifacts around the midpoint value. A value of 1 or greater disables caves entirely.
perlin_zoom	Higher values of this variable result in larger biomes.
primary_area	The area instance that will be used for all non-cave biomes.
primary_area_type	The type of the area that will be used for all non-cave biomes.
smoothing_iterations
Procs
get_biome	Checks the turf biome cache for the biome of the passed turf; if none is found, it is generated.
