Topology is the group of layers that make up the characteristics of the ground we walk on in-game. This includes things such as: - If the water is drinkable or seawater. - If ore nodes can spawn. - If it is the side of a road for junkpile spawns. Each of these topology have their own layer which can be on/off if you want that desired effect for that topology in that area of the map. #Topology List <note> Insert full list of topology here, each will link to somewhere else further down the page (if possible) </note> ⤶ | Topology Name | Description |⤶ | ------------- | ----------- |⤶ | Field | needs some description |⤶ | Cliff | Prevents clutter from spawning, spawns collectable wood |⤶ | Summit | needs some description |⤶ | Beachside | needs some description |⤶ | Beach | Spawns driftwood, small mossy rocks |⤶ | Forest | Spawns forest fauna (requires a "Forest" splat) |⤶ | Forestside | needs some description | ⤶ | Ocean | Spawns underwater clutter, sunken ships with loot |⤶ | Oceanside | needs some description | ⤶ | Decor | needs some description |⤶ | Monument | needs some description |⤶ | Road | Prevents any player buildings, spawns grass on asphalt |⤶ | Roadside | Spawns vehicles and junk piles | ⤶ | Swamp | needs some description |⤶ | River | Makes river water drinkable and adds some decor (mostly reeds) |⤶ | Riverside | Spawns pumpkins/corn and various decor |⤶ | Lake | Makes lake water drinkable (?) |⤶ | Lakeside | needs some description |⤶ | Offshore | needs some description |⤶ | Powerline | Spawns some junk piles |⤶ | Runway | needs some description |⤶ | Building | needs some description |⤶ | Cliffside | needs some description |⤶ | Mountain | needs some description |⤶ | Clutter | needs some description |⤶ | Alt | Spawns birch/american beech trees.
