General

EPDGUIBiomeSection.png

The Biome Section consists of the Biomes list and the Main terrain setup.

Biomes list

The Biomes list (in Alpha 8 and later) only has one entry named BiomeClusterData. The fact that this is still a list selector is due to legacy reasons, as Alpha 7 and before had multiple entries for biomes.

Terrain types

  • Dll terrain (Generated based on a dll file containing algorithms)
  • Xml terrain (Generated based on a Xml file containing algorithms, which can be set up by everyone using Empyrion's own Terrain Generator)
  • Raw file (Terrain is created using a fixed grayscale heightmap to define high and low areas in the playfield with bright and dark shades of gray)
  • Random Terrain - Alpha 8 (Terrain is generated based on some algorithm mixed with raw image stamps placed into the generated terrain) In Alpha 8 this is the recommended terrain, as it is accurate and saves memory)
