level-presets

level-presets.ts

Named LevelConfig presets — one per biome. Each preset is a complete layout/visual config that loads into the playground or attaches to a planet. Designers edit via playground and push diffs back to this file.

⊰ Exports

Symbol	Kind	Purpose
LevelPresetId	type	Union of 14 preset string IDs
LEVEL_PRESETS	const	Record<LevelPresetId, LevelConfig> — full preset bundle
LEVEL_PRESET_NAMES	const	Record<LevelPresetId, string> — UI display names

⊰ Preset roster

Fourteen biomes, six tutorial/origin + eight compact planet presets:

ID	Display	Terrain	Spoke / Hub style	Notes
derelict_station	Derelict Station	asteroids	highway / station	Tutorial default; Landing Site uses this
frozen_wreck	Frozen Wreck Field	asteroids	ghost / crater	Ice-blue, faint spokes
volcanic_rift	Volcanic Rift	pillars	energy / nexus	pattern: 'rings', only non-chaotic preset
bio_organic	Bio-Organic Expanse	asteroids	ghost / crater	Spore particles, green
sunrise_grid	Sunrise Grid	city	highway / station	Layout unified w/ Landing Site v5.163.6
voidstar_abyss	Voidstar Abyss	voidstar_mix	energy / nexus	Punch comes from planet enemyCountMult: 2.0
solar_flats	Solar Flats	asteroids	energy / nexus	Amber conduits
speed_circuit	Speed Circuit	asteroids	highway / station	Fast flow (speed: 1.5)
eden_grove	Eden Grove	asteroids	ghost / crater	Charger swarms
old_earth_ruins	Old Earth Ruins	city	ghost / crater	Reuses sunrise city stamps; uses ‘grounded’ bake variant
network_grid	Network Grid	asteroids	energy / nexus	Cyan data flow
delphi_crystal	Delphi Crystal	pillars	energy / nexus	Purple-violet
obelisk_pillars	Obelisk Pillars	pillars	energy / nexus	Dense pillar maze
desolation_field	Desolation Field	asteroids	ghost / crater	Red tint, mortar/shooter suppression

⊰ Unified layout numerics

Post-v5.163.6, every preset shares the same hub/spoke/density skeleton — events spawn at identical rates across biomes; only terrainType + palette + visual flair (spokeStyle, hubStyle, particles, illumination, spokeFlow) differ.

Constant across all presets:

• hubSize: 0.45, spokeWidth: 0.8, density: 0.99
• ringRadius: 0.5, ringCount: 0.3 (except volcanic_rift → 0.6, 0.5)
• blockSize: 0.5, stepSize: 0.5, amplitude: 0.5
• terrainDensity: 0.85
• pathableWilds: true
• spawnZones: DEFAULT_SPAWN_ZONES
• hubRMin/hubRMax: 200, spokeWMin/spokeWMax: 150

Differentiating fields: seed, pattern, palette, spokeStyle, hubStyle, terrainType, illuminationColor, illuminationSpeed, spokeFlow, hubParticles, dangerTint, lanternPreset.

⊰ Style enums in use

• spokeStyle: highway | ghost | energy
• hubStyle: station | crater | nexus
• hubParticles: data | dust | embers | spores
• terrainType: asteroids | pillars | city | voidstar_mix
• lanternPreset: solar_flare | dawn | shatter
• pattern: chaotic | rings

⊰ Design intent

• Hub/spoke drive event eligibility — events spawn only in hub/spoke zones, so density is tuned high (density: 0.99, hubSize: 0.45) to make most of the explorable area count as clear.
• Visual identity is the only per-biome lever that affects feel. Layout is identical; threat tuning lives on the planet config, not the level preset.
• Volcanic Rift is the outlier — only preset with pattern: 'rings' and elevated ringRadius/ringCount.

⊰ EXTRACT-CANDIDATE

• Massive constant duplication across 14 presets: hub/spoke/density/ring/block/step/amplitude/terrainDensity/pathableWilds/spawnZones/hubRMin/hubRMax/spokeWMin/spokeWMax all repeat verbatim. A BASE_LAYOUT spread ({ ...BASE_LAYOUT, palette, terrainType, ... }) would shrink the file ~60% and make the comment “layout numerics unified with Landing Site” structurally enforced rather than convention.
• LEVEL_PRESETS + LEVEL_PRESET_NAMES are parallel records keyed by the same union — could merge into Record<LevelPresetId, { config: LevelConfig; name: string }> to prevent drift when adding new presets.
