Worldgen Tweaker

Various configurable tweaks for a nicer small-sized world!

This was the collection of fixes I did for my small-sized world to get a more concise and concentrated map, all the while sticking with vanilla worldgen, and also help out with the algorithm since it has trouble fitting the default setpieces into a small-sized world:

MACRO ADJUSTMENTS
- Turn off or adjust the number of Optional Tasks on the Surface or in the Caves. Optional Tasks are the agglomeration of biomes that you sometimes get and you sometimes don't, and which the Force Biomes mod guarantees.

SET-PIECES
- Turn off Traps, Points of Interest and Protected Resources on the Surface or in the Caves
- Adjust the number of Optional Setpieces on the Surface, that is to say the Warzones and the Chess
- Adjust the number of Wormholes, Moose Nests, Tentacle Pillars
- Adjust the number of Brine Pools, Waterlogged biomes, Bull Kelp, since these clog up the ocean and can slow down worldgen
- Substitute in a smaller Sinkhole setpiece for 4 tiles, or a miniscule one for 1 tile
- Make all setpieces ignore impassable barren, this gives setpieces the permission to terraform ocean into land, and this option alone can significantly speed up your worldgen

OCEAN
- Make the Monkey Island and the Hermit Island not fixed to Ocean Rough, since worldgen often has a hard time fitting both the Hermit Island and the Monkey Island into the same room when the world size is set to small. This means that the Island can be in any ocean biome. This sounds big but it doesn't look or feel that weird, since most of the DST ocean totally isn't empty

ADDITIONS
- Remove rivers on the surface, and the corresponding option for removing biome dividers in caves
- Remove, from the caves, the filler sinkhole rooms called "BGSinkhole", these take up a lot of space in your caves and cause a lot of sprawl. They also blend the Cave Exit biomes together, making them look too similar one to another
- Remove Pit Rooms. These are the bridges in rocky turf you get in the caves. You will get long stretches of land with no interruption. The caves will still feel tentacular but it will feel a lot flatter
- Adjust the number of filler biomes for less sprawl. It's fine to set it as "none" for your cave maps, but for your forest map it might slow down worldgen since there will be less spare space to fit setpieces.
