biome

This datum handles the transitioning from a turf to a specific biome, and handles spawning decorative structures and mobs.

Vars
fauna_density	Chance of having a mob from the fauna types list spawn
fauna_types	Weighted list of type paths of fauna that can be spawned when the turf spawns fauna.
feature_density	Chance of spawning special features, such as geysers.
feature_types	Weighted list of extra features that can spawn in the biome, such as geysers. Gets expanded automatically.
flora_density	Chance of having a structure from the flora types list spawn
flora_types	Weighted list of type paths of flora that can be spawned when the turf spawns flora.
turf_type	Type of turf this biome creates
Procs
generate_turf	This proc handles the creation of a turf of a specific biome type
generate_turf_for_terrain	This proc handles the creation of a turf of a specific biome type, assuming that the turf has not been initialized yet. Don't call this unless you know what you're doing.
generate_turfs_for_terrain	This proc handles the sequential creation of turfs of a specific biome type in order to optimize the generation for large amount of turfs.
populate_turf	This proc handles populating the given turf based on whether flora, features and fauna are allowed. Does not take megafauna into account.
populate_turfs	This proc handles populating the given turfs based on whether flora, features and fauna are allowed. Does not take megafauna into account.

Proc Details

proc
generate_turf
(/turf/gen_turf)

This proc handles the creation of a turf of a specific biome type

proc
generate_turf_for_terrain
(/turf/gen_turf)

This proc handles the creation of a turf of a specific biome type, assuming that the turf has not been initialized yet. Don't call this unless you know what you're doing.

proc
generate_turfs_for_terrain
(/list/turf/gen_turfs)

This proc handles the sequential creation of turfs of a specific biome type in order to optimize the generation for large amount of turfs.

Arguments:

gen_turfs - List of turfs to use for turf generation.

Returns a new list of turfs that were generated by the biome.

proc
populate_turf
(/turf/target_turf, flora_allowed, features_allowed, fauna_allowed)

This proc handles populating the given turf based on whether flora, features and fauna are allowed. Does not take megafauna into account.

proc
populate_turfs
(/list/turf/target_turfs, flora_allowed, features_allowed, fauna_allowed)

This proc handles populating the given turfs based on whether flora, features and fauna are allowed. Does not take megafauna into account.

Does nothing if flora_allowed, features_allowed and fauna_allowed are FALSE, or if there's no flora, feature or fauna types for the matching allowed type. Aka, we return early if the proc wouldn't do anything anyway.
