{"params":{"colorway":{"type":"choice","default":"chrome-day","label":"Colorway","describe":"Which site this arcology was built on. chrome-day is pale grey graded fill under white bench tops, the kit's own daylight; slate-evening drops every tone three steps for a cold late scene; neon-dusk cools the ground and turns the planting teal so it reads under the pastel light strips; terraformed makes the whole platform planted green with grey bedrock showing through. The geometry is identical in all four.","options":["chrome-day","slate-evening","neon-dusk","terraformed"]},"edges":{"type":"choice","default":"island","label":"Edges","describe":"island cuts the block to an irregular floating landmass with sides that skirt down and stop, which is how one piece of ground is presented on its own. tile keeps the full square and forces the outer 4 m to the shared world field, so this block joins any other kit's terrain edge to edge with no crack. Switch to tile when you are laying more than one block.","affects":"geometry","options":["island","tile"]},"res":{"type":"choice","default":1,"label":"Detail","describe":"Metres per quad. 4 is coarse faceted ground, 2 is a mid read, 1 resolves the bench faces and the corridor batters as single crisp facets and is the default. Two blocks can only be joined at the SAME setting, because differing vertex pitch along a shared edge cannot be closed by any height rule.","affects":"geometry","options":[4,2,1,0.5]},"span":{"type":"range","default":2,"label":"Size","describe":"How many 64 m chunks across the block is: 1 is a single 64 x 64 m chunk, 4 is 256 x 256 m and sixteen times the ground. Size and detail share one triangle budget, so past 2 the vertex pitch coarsens to hold it \u2014 dragging this up buys more ground, not more of both. Any size joins any other, because the outer edge still lands on chunk lines and still matches the shared world field there.","affects":"geometry","min":1,"max":4,"step":1},"relief":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Relief","describe":"Overall vertical exaggeration of everything this kit adds over the shared world field. 0 leaves the bare rolling plateau with no earthworks at all; 1 is a worked site with benches standing 2 and 4 m proud and the transit corridor about 4 m below the plain; 1.8 is a dramatic multi-level platform city. Does not move the block edges, which always match the neighbours.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":1.8,"step":0.05},"benches":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Graded benches","describe":"Height of the cut-and-fill platforms the superblocks stand on: broad areas raised in whole 4 m steps with dead-flat tops and one clean face each, so a 16 x 16 m footprint can be put down anywhere on a bench top without levelling anything by hand. At 1 they stand 2 m and 4 m above the plain and cover about a quarter of the block; at 0 the site was never graded.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":1.6,"step":0.05},"bedrock":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Bedrock knolls","describe":"Size of the pale rock outcrops that were too hard to clear and got built around instead: clustered rather than spread evenly, standing 2 to 4 m out of the graded fill at 1, and the one thing on this ground the site works did not make. Their faces take the bare stone colour.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":1.6,"step":0.05},"corridor":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Transit corridor","describe":"Depth of the transit trench: a DEAD STRAIGHT flat-floored cut about 12 m across the floor with graded batters each side, holding one bearing across the whole block and repeating every 155 m of world, so a neighbouring block gets the same corridor arriving at the same place. About 4 m deep at 1. It is the feature that says transit rather than merely city, and 0 removes it.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":1.6,"step":0.05},"swales":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Planted swales","describe":"Depth of the winding drainage hollows the platform sheds water into, roughly 8 m across the bed and 2 m deep at 1, crossing the straight corridor rather than running with it. They are where the kit's greenery actually lives, so they repaint whatever they cross in the planting colour. 0 leaves the site undrained and unplanted.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":1.6,"step":0.05},"terrace":{"type":"range","default":0.3,"label":"Level stepping","describe":"How hard ALL relief snaps to the kit's own 4 m module height, on top of the benches, which are already built in whole steps. 0 is natural ground shaped by the earthworks; 1 quantises every height in the block to whole 4 m levels, so plaza runs, kerbs and building footprints sit on dead-level shelves everywhere rather than only on the benches. The default keeps the ground organic with the levels just legible.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":1,"step":0.05},"pad":{"type":"range","default":0,"label":"Building pad","describe":"Levels a single square pad in the middle of the block, measured in whole 4 m modules of the kit's own grid: 0 is none, 2 is an 8 x 8 m plot, 4 is 16 x 16 m, 8 is a 32 x 32 m superblock. Its level is the ground's own mean there snapped to 25 cm, and its edges land on module lines, so a tile run laid across it lands on the pad edge rather than half a tile over it. The ramp around it is capped so the pad can never reach the 4 m skirt, because flattening the seam would break the join for every neighbour.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":8,"step":1},"flatten":{"type":"range","default":0,"label":"Level clearing","describe":"Clears a LEVEL AREA IN THE MIDDLE of the block for a whole district to stand on, and leaves the landscape around it alone. The number is the size of that clearing: 0 is none, 0.5 is a circle roughly a third of the block across, 1 is as large as it can go without touching the edges. Its rim is soft, so the ground rises out of the clearing rather than stepping. It levels the WORLD's slope as well as this kit's earthworks, which is what makes it genuinely buildable. The block's edges are never touched at any setting, so a levelled block still joins its neighbours exactly.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":1,"step":0.05},"erosion":{"type":"range","default":0,"label":"Weathering","describe":"Ages the site after it is built: hollows soften and silt up while crests stay sharp, which is how a freshly cut platform turns into one that has stood for fifty years \u2014 the bench shoulders round off and the corridor batters slump. At 1 it moves the ground by about 3 m either way and lowers the average by around a metre, because weathering removes material. The block edges are untouched at any setting, so a weathered block still joins its neighbours exactly.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":1,"step":0.05},"plain":{"type":"color","default":"#DDE3E9","label":"Graded fill","describe":"Albedo of the ordinary platform surface, the largest area in the model: pale compacted fill between the benches.
