{"params":{"colorway":{"type":"choice","default":"valley-green","label":"Colorway","describe":"Curated Prehistoric Valley schemes; each sets all six zones at once. valley-green is the delivered mat: bright yellow-green shoots over a deep green cushion with pale ochre-yellow spore cones, the darker cushion standing in for the shade under a dense stand. deep-shade is the forest floor: mid-green shoots over a near-black green cushion with amber-orange cones. golden-olive is a late-season mat: olive-gold shoots over an olive cushion with pale cream cones. blue-spikemoss is the blue-green sheen of a Selaginella mat: teal shoots over a slate-blue cushion with yellow cones. The ash stays the kit's one warm grey in every scheme.","affects":"colors","options":["valley-green","deep-shade","golden-olive","blue-spikemoss"]},"climate":{"type":"choice","default":"lush","label":"Climate","describe":"The kit-wide weather, a different build at each value. lush: the full mat, a lobed deep-green mound carrying eleven stands of upright three-sided shoots, each stand rising from its own hummock, its core shoot forked into a Y (the middle one a candelabra), the tallest tips carrying ochre-yellow spore cones, with six short slim runners creeping out from under its lobes, each with one tiny upright side shoot. dry: the resurrection habit of a drought. Every other tuft is gone and every survivor is a short stem closed into a brown fist, hooked shoots wrapped round a knot; the mound sinks to bare brown dead thatch and the runners lie bare and brown. There are no cones at dry. ashfall: every shoot is pressed flat under one continuous modelled grey ash blanket that covers the whole mound and thins out to nothing at its edge; only the shoot tips and their cones stick out of it, lying low and splayed out from their stands, and the runners lie bare round it. The ash zone builds no triangles at lush or dry.","affects":"geometry","options":["lush","dry","ashfall"]},"shoots":{"type":"range","default":56,"label":"Shoots","describe":"How many upright tufts grow in the eleven stands. A tuft is one shoot or a Y of two (three tips at the core of the middle stand), and tufts are dealt to the stands in proportion to their size, so every count keeps all eleven stands and only thins or fills them; the lower counts are the first entries of the higher ones. 22 is a young mat of two tufts to a stand and about three dozen tips; 56 is the delivered mat, every stand a massed bouquet of over eighty tips; 65 fills every stand to its densest, nearly a hundred tips. The mound, the runners and the footprint never change. At dry the drought still removes every other tuft; at ashfall the count sets how many pressed tips stick out of the ash.","affects":"geometry","min":22,"max":65,"step":1},"cones":{"type":"range","default":0.7,"label":"Spore cones","describe":"The share of upright tips that carry a spore cone, a closed ochre-yellow bud wider than its shoot and drawn out long above it. Cones go to the TALLEST tips first, the way fertile lycopod shoots overtop the sterile ones. 0 is a sterile mat whose every tip ends in a plain green point; 0.7 is the delivered mat with the tall middle of the crown dotted yellow; 1 puts a cone on every tip. It applies to the pressed tips at ashfall too. At dry the shoots are curled into fists and carry no cones, so this knob changes nothing there.","affects":"geometry","min":0,"max":1,"step":0.1},"tone":{"type":"range","default":0.45,"label":"Tone variation","describe":"How far each tuft and each runner (with its side shoots) drifts lighter or darker than its zone colour, as no two shoots of a real mat are the same green. Whole pieces shift, never single facets, by quantised steps. 0 is one flat green; 1 is a strongly mottled mat. The cones, the cushion, the thatch and the ash are never varied. Changes no geometry at any value.","min":0,"max":1,"step":0.05},"shoot":{"type":"color","default":"#7E9C48","label":"Shoots","describe":"Albedo of every living shoot: the upright shoots with their twisted scale-leaf facets, forks and plain green tips, the trailing runners with their little upright side shoots, and the pressed tips at ashfall. Lighter than the cushion, so the stands read against the shade under them.","affects":"colors"},"mat":{"type":"color","default":"#2F5530","label":"Cushion","describe":"Albedo of the living cushion: the lobed faceted top of the mound the stands grow out of, darker than the shoots because it is the shaded floor under them.
