Shatterloop Terrain Configurations

Posted March 18, 2021 by Xhin

I'm keeping this post separate because it'll be a useful reference as I build out the different systems that require it.

I have the foundation for this built already, but this post will have specific implementations and caveats for each system that uses it:

  • Surface materials -- Configured

  • Cave materials -- Configured

  • Fishing v1 Overworld -- Configured

  • Fishing v1 Caves -- Configured

  • Combat spawns -- Configured

  • Quantum Plane -- Configured

    Surface Materials

    Resources

  • Rocks
  • Insects
