beezm 02577872f2 feat: curve v5 — corner fixes + COMPACT/BALANCED taste presets (terrain-water task 09) 
The three corner fixes (both presets): riser endpoint slope floors
0.2 -> 0.1 (0.1u + 0.9*smoothstep — climbs decelerate into shelves and
accelerate out); summit-spike base floor 0.1 -> 0.05
(0.05u + 0.95*u^4 — no hard skirt under the peaks); SHELF_SPAN_MIN
2 m -> 6 m (pronounced shelves keep a gentle tilt).

Knots are preset-parameterized (CurveKnots, explicit parameter — pure,
D-035), calibrated from the same pooled batch-04 CDF:
COMPACT  P65/77/84/88/94/97 -> 65/12/7/4/6/3/3 land split
BALANCED P60/73/83/88/96/99 -> 60/13/10/5/8/3/1
Gate: "off"|"v5-compact"|"v5-balanced" (batch-only tri-state;
interim default v5-balanced pending the developer's verdict — the
winner becomes plain "v5" in a follow-up commit); v1-v4 retired
loudly. Assertion runs per preset (8 corners x per-seed spikeMax; the
lowered floors stay strictly positive). TCRV v5 extension (+9 B):
preset id + K5/K6 — the effective curve is unambiguous from the
record; old records parse (version-dispatched); harness compares.

/Tools

Offline developer utilities. Nothing here ships. These generate the source data that /Server and /Client later consume, which keeps world-generation logic out of the shipped client.

The 2D world generator

Script: Tools/Scripts/MapGenerator.cs · Scenes: Tools/Scenes/MapPreview.tscn and Scenes/MapCaptureTool.tscn

Builds the topographical and logistical foundation of the island before any 3D exists.

  • Resolution is config-driven, from ServerConfig.json's MapProfile: 4K/6K/8K/10K → 4096 / 6144 / 8192 / 10240. Shipped default is 8K. 1 pixel = 1 in-game metre = 1 voxel footprint. (The MapSize field initialiser in the script says 4096, but it is overwritten from config before use.)
  • Topography: FastNoiseLite plus distance-falloff maths for a guaranteed mainland island, a mountain spine, dynamic temperature-driven sea level, and an impact crater pushed into the northern coast (carved at 80 % of its radius so a landbridge always survives).
  • Water bodies: the classified water promoted into explicit blueprint data (ocean + labeled lakes with transitional per-body levels — WBID/WBTB/WSRF sections), plus priority-flood basin diagnostics. The SkipRoads config toggle turns a full ~26-min generation into a ~80 s road-less iteration cycle.
  • Logistics: AStarGrid2D pathfinding producing a looping continental highway, a branch to the mountain hub, and county roads daisy-chained outward with Prim's algorithm. Paths are decimated (Ramer–Douglas–Peucker) then smoothed (4 Chaikin passes).
  • Zoning: biome mapping and tiered town/POI placement by slope, temperature and proximity.

⚠️ A* is the known bottleneck

The grid is one node per pixel — 67 million nodes at 8K — and the weight-setup pass walks every one of them. A full generation can stall long enough that runs get abandoned. await yields are sprinkled through the road stage, but they cannot interrupt a single engine-side GetPointPath call, so they only help between paths. Expect a regeneration to take minutes, or to need abandoning.

Outputs — written to user://, not into the project

File What it is
MapData_Seed_<seed>.dat The binary blueprint the server reads — v2 tagged container (~336 MB at 8K; contract in Core/Scripts/BLUEPRINT_FORMAT.md)
MapData_Seed_<seed>_v1.dat The same content in the legacy v1 format (~512 MB), dual-written as a safety net until a future removal task
Map_Seed_<seed>.png Visual snapshot of the map, for reviewing and picking seeds

On Linux: ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/islaApocolypse/.

Running it

Open Tools/Scenes/MapPreview.tscn and press F6. It is also the project's main scene, so pressing F5 anywhere runs this — which is why F5 regenerates your world instead of starting the game. Use Scenes/MapCaptureTool.tscn when you specifically want the full-resolution PNG.

Rules

  1. No client dependencies. Nothing here may reference UI, player controllers or shaders in /Client.
  2. Data out, nothing in. Tools emit .dat/.png/.json; they never write to a live server save.
  3. No magic numbers. Distances and radii scale off MapSize or the derived scaleFactor, so the generator behaves the same at every profile.
