Lake

When to Use It

Use Lake when you need simulates rainfall on the terrain and creates physically accurate lakes.

Lake FormationControls the amount of water available for lake formation, influencing the size and number of lakes generated.
Type	Simple Advanced
Simple Mode
X	X position of the lake source.
Y	Y position of the lake source.
Water Level	Level of the water.
Render Surface	Whether to render the surface of the water or just create masks.
Accuracy	The accuracy of the water placement and water containment within depressions.
Advanced Mode
Precipitation	Controls the amount of water available for lake formation, influencing the size and number of lakes generated.
Small Lakes	Enables or adjusts the creation of smaller lakes, increasing the frequency of minor water bodies across the terrain.
Flood Control	Limits excessive flooding by managing water distribution, preventing lakes from overflowing or merging unnaturally.
Water Floor	Sets the elevation of the lake bed, determining the minimum depth and base level of the water body.
Shore FormationControls the width and extent of the shoreline around lakes, affecting how far the shore transitions into the surrounding terrain.
Shore Size	Controls the width and extent of the shoreline around lakes, affecting how far the shore transitions into the surrounding terrain.
Altitude Bias	Biases lake placement towards certain altitudes, favoring higher or lower terrain for lake formation.
Size Bias	Adjusts the likelihood of generating larger or smaller lakes, influencing the overall distribution of lake sizes.
