Biome Configuration

A Biome is an area of the game that has a similar environmental/elemental theme. Each biome is paired with another biome that is the opposite element. The player's goal is to restore the elemental balance of the planet by defeating the bosses of each biome. The configuration of biomes when generating a world are driven by which ones are available from DLCs and how many to use. Beyond that, they can vary in size and how scrambled up they are.

Biome Count

There is a math formula to convert between the number stored in the seed code and the number of biomes it represents.

biomeCount = ((codeValue + minPairs) * 2) + supportBiomes

Math Variables

Variable	Description
biomeCount	The number of biomes that will be selected when generating the world.
codeValue	The count value from a seed code.
minPairs	The smallest number of pairs that are allowed. (Set to 2.)
2	Because biomes are always paired.
supportBiomes	Add to the total for the support biomes. (Set to 2, for common and ending areas.)

For example, if the code has a count of 0, the world world will be generated with 6 biomes. Keep in mind that you cannot select which biomes are used, you can only express how many will be used.

Biome Size

The size of each biome, measured in rooms, controls how much exploring there is to do.

Biome Size

Bits	Type	Description
00	Normal	Biomes are a reasonable size for exploration.
01	Small	Smaller than normal biomes for a faster experience.
10	Large	Larger than normal biomes for more exploration.
11	Huge	Huge biomes that are uncomfortably sprawling for those that like that sort of thing.

Biome Cohesion

The likelihood that each biome will be split into multiple pieces.

Biome Cohesion

Bits	Type	Description
00	Monolith	Each biome is essentially one large piece.
01	Clustered	A small number of large clusters of rooms.
10	Disjoint	A large number of small clusters of rooms.
11	Chaotic	Each neighboring room could be from a different biome.
