-- Parameters

local YMIN = 6000

local YWATER = 7000 -- Approximate water surface y, is rounded down to near base of chunk
local TERSCA = 128 -- Terrain scale in nodes, typical height of mountains
local TSTONE = 0.04 -- Density threshold for stone, depth of stone below surface
local STABLE = 2 -- Minimum number of stacked stone nodes in column required to support sand

-- 3D noise for terrain

	offset = 0,
	scale = 1,

-- 2D noise for biomes
