Hello Community,

I came across this title by watching someone I follow in the gaming / streaming community. Took an immediate interest and figured what the hell? I'll give it a try. The art style is fantastic and the gameplay is right up my alley. I've barely gotten anywhere in the game itself (I've literally put in 5 hours total so far) but I'm the kind of person that enjoys modding titles a bit more than actually playing them so when I saw the structure and ease of access in the game files I was hooked!

I see that activity is somewhat sparse here but I figured I'd post and hope that some of the more involved modders might be able to provide me with information here and there as I explore what's possible. I may very well get to a point where I release things on the workshop if they're up to standard.

Cheers.

Hello Community,

I'm trying to get a better understanding of some of the line items within map_generator.darkest

If anyone could provide solid information or point me to a thread with said information it would be much appreciated. I'm having trouble determining what the following values actually affect:

.connectivity - what exactly does this entail and how does it affect layout?
.nudge_span - does this cause non-linear hallways?
.nudge_neighbour_bias - no idea here...
.nudge_map_center_bias - does this shift the originating room?

I have a vague idea that these values will affect how the map is drawn overall and where the rooms will fall in relation to the originating room, but I'm at a loss as to what they actually achieve and the range of values that can be applied. Any guidance would be appreciated!

In the meantime I'll be scouring the community forums for more information on this topic.

Cheers.

To be clear, I've started testing things and have been able to modify the generator to achieve some of the results I was looking for. I want to get a better understanding of some of the items I'm fuzzy on to ensure that if I do release any sort of map generation mod it doesn't cause issues for the end user.
