#What is Topology?
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.
