Help at map generation with Perfect World (Advanced knowlege required please)
Hello~ I've been trying to get back into the game and wanted to create my own world with Perfect World.
You are more then welcome to be creative with me, and download this program, share files and ideas.
I've spent about 100+ hours making and fiddling with map generation alone. Ask me anything you'd like when it comes to PW and Map generation.
I have more experience with PW.

I'm trying to understand how to spawn more sedimentary layers.
IE: The combination of Elevation, Drainage and especially Volcanism!

Since Volcanism is the most complicated, and the others pretty understandable enough to get by, I need to understand the best settings for the Volcanism tab to get the most out of it.

What colors/percentages/values create the most X layer and X material for example.
(You can see the value of something in the bottom left)

From there I could tweak things to my liking, but I still don't understand it fully to get a good baseline.

End goal is to have a .7 elevation values (Red turning to grey; Hollow Arrow in biome map) with volcano's, next to forests/hills or any other elevation value. Preferring flat terrain.
But I also need the correct layer.

I think Low volcanism has Sedimentary layers. The lower the better?

I've finally done it. Nearly perfect. Just missing some broad-leaf flat-land near volcanoes.
Anyhow, I will share screenshots with those who are interested. I rather make some friends and share stuff back and forth.
I'm willing to teach as well.

I wasn't aware that there was a premium version. I just use the free one.

Edit: there should be directions or a manual.

The Steam version is considered the premium version, and it looks like it's in your library.

English is a stupid language.

This looks like a boring project.

Perfect = no fun.

Also English is better than you.
