cylindrical-world-generator's Issues

Add Temperature gradient

Effects:

• ice caps on top/bottom
• slower spread of life when cold
• colder at elevation
• temp visualization option

More mineral types

• more mineral types (clay, etc.)
• display them better

Little animals

• Echidnas
• Monitor lizards

Cloud systems

probably represented by circles (coords with radius) with a saturation rating
Effects:

• Pick up water over water tiles
• Drop water over land tiles over time
• Causes raindrop erosion

Insects

Insect life -- similar to microorganisms

Bushes and Trees

Grass evolves into bushes and tress

Stream/River creation

Based on raindrop routine
More raindrops in an area can lead to permanent flowing streams

Better tectonic plate dynamics

• plates hitting each other creates earthquakes
• plates coming apart creates depth
• plates sliding past each other create earthquakes or nothing

Volcanos

• Oceanic plates are denser rock and go under continental crust, causes volcano and islands
• random hot spots cause volcanos
