I have made some improvements to the random generation algorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can now generate forests and ground cover around all settlements, with a clearing in the center for the settlement itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Previously, I could only prevent ground cover from appearing on the entire chunk, which led to an obvious blocky appearance to the forests, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was somewhat complex, but seems to work well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also made some other minor changes to the random generation system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next step is to try to find a way to connect random settlements together by roads, with collison (preventing trees, etc, from appearing in the way) and with persistence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also need to work on the artwork for the next random generation module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
