From bf3efa0bb71ae5131e4aec053c9f614b52f8a36e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paramat <paramat@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2018 05:04:46 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Flora spread: Reduce maximum density Previously, maximum flora density was chosen based on the extremely rare occurrence of all 8 flowers being at high density at one location. This caused flora everywhere to spread to an unacceptably high density. Revert the threshold to 3, which in testing results in a more acceptable maximum density of 7 flora per 9x9 area. --- mods/flowers/init.lua | 9 +++------ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/mods/flowers/init.lua b/mods/flowers/init.lua index 2afb5a0..3ad4bf6 100644 --- a/mods/flowers/init.lua +++ b/mods/flowers/init.lua @@ -139,12 +139,9 @@ function flowers.flower_spread(pos, node) local pos0 = vector.subtract(pos, 4) local pos1 = vector.add(pos, 4) - -- Maximum flower density created by mapgen is 13 per 9x9 area. - -- The limit of 7 below was tuned by in-game testing to result in a maximum - -- flower density by ABM spread of 13 per 9x9 area. - -- Warning: Setting this limit theoretically without in-game testing - -- results in a maximum flower density by ABM spread that is far too high. - if #minetest.find_nodes_in_area(pos0, pos1, "group:flora") > 7 then + -- Testing shows that a threshold of 3 results in an appropriate maximum + -- density of approximately 7 flora per 9x9 area. + if #minetest.find_nodes_in_area(pos0, pos1, "group:flora") > 3 then return end
