 | `HGTS` / `0x53544748` | `MapSize²` × `f32` height, **X outer / Y inner** | Mandatory. The second index is the map's north/south axis; the server consumes it as world **Z**. (This axis convention was never written down for v1 — it is now normative.) Length must equal `4·MapSize²`. |
 | `BIOM` / `0x4D4F4942` | `MapSize²` × `u8` biome ordinal, same pixel order | Mandatory. Ordinals from `Enums.cs::Biome` — **append-only, never reorder** (the ordinal IS the wire value). Writer refuses ordinals > 255; reader rejects ordinals ≥ the known biome count (parse-time validation; the palette's runtime Dirt fallback for in-memory values is unchanged). Length must equal `MapSize²`. |
 | `TOWN` / `0x4E574F54` | `i32 count`, then per town: `f32 X` · `f32 Y` · `u8 tier` · `u8 isHighwayNode` (0/1) | Tier ordinals from `Enums.cs::TownTier`, append-only, range-checked on read. The highway-node flag is what the generator's road topology was built from (v1 dropped it); carried and exposed on the parsed blueprint, consumed by nothing server-side yet. |

The curve itself lives in `Tools/Scripts/HeightCurve.cs` (calibration provenance in its header + the task-05 report). |
 | `WBID` / `0x44494257` | `MapSize²` × `u16` water-body id, same pixel order as `HGTS` | Optional (absent = no water data, e.g. a legacy re-encode). `0` = no water, `1` = **the** ocean body, `2..N` = lakes. Ids assigned in deterministic scan order (X outer / Y inner, first-encountered pixel), lakes labeled with the **same 4-connectivity as `CalculateTrueOcean`**. Membership is exactly the generator's water classification — the biome grid's Ocean/Lake pixels and this grid's nonzero pixels are the same set **by construction** (shared predicates). Length must equal `2·MapSize²`. |
 | `WBTB` / `0x42544257` | `i32 count`, then per body (20 B): `u16 id` · `u8 type` (0 ocean, 1 lake) · `u8 salinity` (0 fresh, 1 salt) · `f32 surfaceLevel` · `i32 pixelCount` · `f32 centroidX` · `f32 centroidY` | Optional, paired with `WBID`. **`surfaceLevel` is a documented TRANSITIONAL rule:** one flat level per body — `GetSeaLevel` at the body's pixel centroid (ocean: at the map centre) under the still-live latitude field; superseded by the flat-scalar sea model (minted, lands with the coast change set). The field's per-pixel slope is deliberately NOT baked into any section. **Salinity is a provisional default** (ocean salt, lake fresh) — a placeholder for the future fresh/salt irrigation mechanic, not a mechanic. |
 | `WSRF` / `0x46525357` | `MapSize²` × `u16` quantized water-surface elevation, same pixel order | Optional, paired with `WBID`. `0` is the reserved **no-water sentinel**; a real level `L` (raw height units) encodes as `1 + round(L × 32768)` so it can never encode to 0; decode `(q − 1)/32768` (`BlueprintFormat.EncodeWaterLevel`/`DecodeWaterLevel`). Covers `[0 … ~1.99997]` raw at `1/32768` raw ≈ **7.7 mm** of world height (1 raw = 251 m) — far finer than the 1 m voxel. Nonzero exactly where `WBID` is nonzero; the value is the pixel's body level. |
