Dungeonator Notes - Biomes

gistfile1.txt

Characteristics
1. Semi-arbitrary cuboid volume measured in multiples of room size (X/Z of 16, Y of 8)
2. Ground, ceiling, and walls obscuring Dungeon interiors
3. Tunnels/doorways selectively carved out to match adjacent Rooms
4. Generally concave ground area
5. Biome 'bleed' into surrounding rooms to smooth transition: dirt, snow, etc
