🌊Drawing rivers and lakes (beta)

The editor

The tool is stable but the rivers sometimes need some manual adjustment. It is still a huge time-saver but I suggest having a second look at the rivers created to make sure you don't have any artifacts. This is why the tool is currently in beta.

The editor is split into two parts.

To the left, you have the functions currently available, and to the right are the settings available related to that function.

The rivers and lakes have similar settings so I will cover it once for both functions. The settings are also saved!

Point Distance: The distance between each spline points. Adding more points can add more resolution to the shape you want to create but can make it harder.

River Width: Determine the width of the river.

Water Offset: The system will lower the ground along the spline (for rivers) or inside (for lakes). The water offset allows you to place the water a bit below the spline level to make sure it doesn't appear outside the ground level.

River/Lake Material: allow you to choose which material to apply on the river/lake

Refresh All Biomes: Sometimes the biomes don't always update, this button will make them refresh all.

Use Water Level: Determine if the river can go below the water level or not. It usually feels better to leave it to true.
