{"params":{"colorway":{"type":"choice","default":"riverbank","label":"Colorway","describe":"Curated Prehistoric Valley schemes; each sets every zone at once. riverbank: a dark brown earth ring, a dark olive litter heap, fresh light-green fronds, olive horsetail stems and cream eggs. sandy-bend: a pale sandy ring for the nests on the river's sandy bend, a dark umber heap, mid-green fronds and whiter eggs. red-clay: a rust-red clay ring, olive litter, light-green fronds, white eggs. dark-loam: a near-umber ring round a bottle-green heap with mid-green fronds and pale stems. The ash stays the kit's one warm grey in every scheme. Any colour set explicitly overrides the scheme.","options":["riverbank","sandy-bend","red-clay","dark-loam"]},"climate":{"type":"choice","default":"lush","label":"Climate","describe":"The kit-wide weather, a different build at each value. lush: a dark earth ring, the litter heap domed up round the eggs to about half their height, ten fresh green fern fronds (the back ones arching over the far lip) and four horsetail stems laid over it. dry: the ring baked to a pale crust split by six open V cracks running over the crest (dark earth inside them); the heap sunk and flattened about 4 cm and browned, so the eggs stand higher out of it; only six fronds left, narrower, flat and curled, and two thinner stems, all browned. ashfall: a grey ash layer with a 3 cm step lip along the crest's outer edge, over the crest top and down the inner slope, drifted 4.5 cm deep in the bowl: it buries the stems and the base of every frond, the fronds sag onto it with a grey ridge each, and every egg stands a little under half out of it wearing a grey cap. The ash stops at the crest and never reaches the flank or the foot, and builds no triangles at lush or dry. The foot circle and the crest height are the same at every climate.","affects":"geometry","options":["lush","dry","ashfall"]},"eggs":{"type":"range","default":12,"label":"Eggs","describe":"How many eggs are in the clutch, packed from one fixed hex table at a constant 0.275 m pitch from the middle out, so the cluster grows outward: 8 is a tight knot about 1.0 m across in the middle of the bowl, 12 (default) about 1.2 m, 16 a broad clutch about 1.4 m across lying over the fronds' bases. Each egg is a 0.24 m ball bedded about half deep.","affects":"geometry","min":8,"max":16,"step":1},"covering":{"type":"toggle","default":true,"label":"Covering","describe":"The heap of rotting fern litter in the bowl with the fronds and horsetail stems laid over it. On (default): the eggs are half buried in the heap. Off: the bare nest, a shallow dish of earth with the eggs bedded about a quarter deep in it; the ring is unchanged.","affects":"geometry"},"harvested":{"type":"toggle","default":false,"label":"Harvested","describe":"The nest after its eggs were taken: the whole clutch is gone (the detachable eggs group is empty) and a low crumbled rim of whatever the bowl is made of (litter, dried mulch, bare earth, crust or ash) rings the socket each egg was bedded in. The ring, the fronds and the stems are untouched.","affects":"geometry"},"arrangement":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Arrangement","describe":"Which of nine layouts this build deals: each value turns and shifts the eggs' hex pack, jitters each egg's seat (some sit deeper in the heap than others) and turns the fronds' headings and where the stems lie, so cloned nests in a colony do not repeat. The ring, the egg count and the footprint never change.","affects":"geometry","min":1,"max":9,"step":1},"tone":{"type":"range","default":0.45,"label":"Tone variation","describe":"How far each egg, each frond and each horsetail stem drifts lighter or darker than its zone colour, as no two eggs of a clutch and no two fronds match. A whole egg or frond moves as one piece in fixed steps, never facet by facet, and the first of each keeps the exact zone colour. 0 is one flat colour per zone, 1 a clearly mixed clutch and covering. The earth, crust, litter and ash are never varied.
