Yes please share some details. Like will mining be tied into these data maps? Will exploration by worth finding “unique locations”? Give us something to plan for and hope for!

Hi,

Yes we’ll be able to use any of these data maps to drive the logic for placement of all types of resources, settlements, crash sites, and whatever else the design team dream up.

So for example, the system could identify a large mountain range with a specific geology type, and decide there should be an associated deposit of valuable minerals in the area, and then it would survey the elevation and slope in more detail to decide where specifically to place caves for surface access, and where to place underground deposits for potential extraction. Mining settlements and associated locations may then also be logically positioned for optimal access to these resources plus other resources such as water and timber. This is purely an example, it’ll be totally in design’s hands how to use this tool.
