Mod settings
Planet controls
- Temperature: HotClimates: Scale affects the scale of hot spots and partially affects the overall temperature fluctuation scale. Low Coverage decreases the global average temperature and makes the hot spots smaller and weaker. High coverage increases the global average temperature and makes the hot spots bigger and stronger. The hottest climates are volcanic areas.
- Temperature: Cold Climates: Scale affects the scale of cold spots and partially affects the overall temperature fluctuation scale. Low Coverage increases the global average temperature and makes the cold spots smaller and weaker. High coverage decreases the global average temperature and makes the cold spots bigger and stronger. The coldest climates are snow and ice.
- Moisture: Scale affects the moisture fluctuation scale. Low Bias makes the world average drier, so less grass and more sand. The driest climates are sandy wastelands with craters and almost no vegetation. High Bias makes the world average wetter, so more grass and less sand. The wettest climates are wetlands, grasslands with little pools of shallow water.
- Terrain Type: Scale affects the terrain type fluctuation scale. Low Bias makes the world average more earth-like and less alien, so blues and purples, more greens and browns. High Bias makes the world average more alien, so more purples, reds, and blues.
