Terrain

What is terrain?

Terrain in the tygron engine, describes the surface and sub-surface (underground) and elevation of your project. Terrain excludes everything which is build-up on the terrain, which is described in buildings. Terrain can be editted via GEO DATA -> Terrain.

Surface

In the Tygron Engine there are different land types available. Each land type has different predefined attributes that affect indicators such as green and livability.

EN	NL	Description
Concrete	Beton	This land type can mostly be found in urban and industrial areas
River Water	Boezemwater	Larger water bodies, navigable for (small) boats
Dike	Dijk	Dike is a land type that usually lays between water and constructions, or other areas which need to be protected. Dikes are constructed phenomenon, offering protection from floods and high tides
Dunes	Duinen	Dunes is a land type that usually lays between the beach and the rest of the land mass. Dunes are a natural phenomenon, a row of wind shaped sandy hills, protecting the inland from floods and high tides. Sometimes, due to erosion, dunes also occur inland and can eventually develop into a large arid region - the Sahara sand dunes.
Dike	Breakwater	Breakwater is land type designated to protect the actual coast line from waves, floods and tidal erosion.
Grasland	Grassland	All that is grass
Open land	Open land	This is the default land type for land in the Tygron Engine. If an empty world is generated, all land will have this land type
Water	Water	Small water bodies
Sand	Zand	All that is sand
