Mountainous Cave System

Description
Mountainous map with caves, so tiles that have both 'mountainous' and 'caves' tag exactly, generate extensive cave system that are filled with thick roof, with exception of a lake and two small open areas on the edge which were added to prevent drop pod events from crashing the game.

Does not have any effect on other maps (such as mountainous maps without caves, or large hills map with caves).

Hives are prevented from spawning on cave system by default, as game generates large number of hives to account for greater cave size otherwise. This function may not work if other mods that modify GenStep_CaveHives are also enabled, such as Better Infestations (mod is compatible with Better Infestations, it's only hive generation setting that don't work).


Notes
  • Mountainous map with caves will take much longer to generate at the beginning.
  • Incompatible with mods that modify GenStep_Caves.
  • Can be added or removed mid-save.

This mod would not have been possible without me shamelessly using code from [KV] Impassable Map Maker - 1.1 by Kiame Vivacity. I only imported and modified code related to terrain generation; this mod therefore does not grant ability to settle in impassable tiles, but can be used together with aforementioned Kiame Vivacity's mod without conflict.

90% of my mountains tiles are this. It's fun once in a while but when all of my quests bug out because of this mod, its unuseable.

Is there a way to reduce the abundance of tiles with this biome? I like it, but I don't want 80% of my mountainous tiles to have these cave systems, which is what's happening ATM.

Update?

is it possible to make another version off this but instead its for impassible terrain?
while impassable map maker mod is fine, the maps are VERY boring and dont make natural sense

on a different note i wonder if its possible to make a new map type called cavernous as an alternative for impassible at least on land

"This function may not work if other mods that modify GenStep_CaveHives are also enabled, such as Better Infestations (mod is compatible with Better Infestations, it's only hive generation setting that don't work)."

Better Infestation mod setting takes priority unfortunately, so perhaps try to disable the cave hives on Better Infestation mod settings if possible.

Hey there, awesome mod, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to get the instects/hives not to spawn. I've tried toggling the options in the settings but to no avail. Could it be because I'm also using Better Infestations and VFE - Instecoids? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
