-- ^ Lower and upper limits for biome.
-- ^ Because biome is not recalculated for every node in a node column
-- ^ some biome materials can exceed their limits, especially stone.
-- ^ For each node column in a mapchunk, biome is only recalculated at column
-- ^ top and at each of these surfaces:
-- ^ Ground below air, water below air, ground below water.
-- ^ The selected biome then stays in effect for all nodes below until
-- ^ column base or the next biome recalculation.
heat_point = 0,
humidity_point = 50,
-- ^ Characteristic average temperature and humidity for the biome.
-- ^ These values create 'biome points' on a voronoi diagram that has heat
-- ^ and humidity as axes. The resulting voronoi cells determine which
-- ^ heat/humidity points belong to which biome, and therefore determine
-- ^ the area and location of each biome in the world.
-- ^ The biome points need to be carefully and evenly spaced on the voronoi
-- ^ diagram to result in roughly equal size biomes.
-- ^ Heat and humidity have average values of 50, vary mostly between
-- ^ 0 and 100 but also often exceed these values.
-- ^ Heat is not in degrees celcius, both values are abstract.
