higher frequency -> more random variation quicker
amplitude (or multiplier) -> how much it adds to the output
---
Rainfall: Dry -> Wet (desert -> rainforest)
Variation (seasonality)
Altitude: Low -> High (deep ocean -> mountains)
Variation (flat -> craggy)
Temperature: Freezing -> Boiling (arctic -> desert)
Variation (seasonality)
Soil: Soft -> Hard (fertile soil -> hard rock)
Variation (seasonality, would only apply for soil?)
---
Spring: warmer, wetter
Summer: dry, hot
Fall: dry, cooling
Winter: cold, wet
Vegetation: None -> Covered (barren -> rainforest)
Variation (seasonality)
Rainforest: >0.75 rain, >0.5 and <0.75 temperature
Desert: <0.25 rain, >0.6 or <0.3 temperature
Tundra: <0.25 temperature, <0.5 rain
Taiga: <0.1 temperature, >0.25 rain?
Grassland: <0.4 and >0.25 rain, >0.25 temperature
Savanna: >0.4 and <0.6? rain, >0.25 temperature
Tropical Rainforest: wet & wetter seasons, warm year-round
Temperate Forest: four distinct seasons (fall, winter, spring, summer)
Desert: rare rain, extreme heat and cold
Tundra: flat and cold, shallow soil and permafrost below it, growth only in summer
Taiga: long cold winters, needle-leaf trees
Grassland: just wet enough for grasses, herbs, and herbavores to survive
Savanna: slightly wetter than grassland, some trees appear, tall-legged animals
Freshwater: lakes, streams, rivers
Marine: salt-water oceans
Temperature should change based on height.
Cold, dry, green. Biome categories separated by temperature.
(Should also separate based on waterfall?)
Aquatic vs land. Dry vs wet. Lush?
