View source for Zone Step Overview

Zone Steps are map generation steps that span through multiple floors.  For example, they can ensure at least a certain amount of food spawns in the dungeon, and that it's properly spaced apart between floors.  Zone Steps operate by inserting their own steps into the normal [[Floor_Generation_Overview|floor generation process]] before the entire list is run.

== Steps Summary ==

Below is a table of commonly used zone steps, what priorities they are often set to be placed at, and what they are used for.

! Priority !! Step !! Description
|-
| 2.1 || SaveVarsZoneStep || A special step needed to support rescues.
|-
| -1 || FloorNameDropZoneStep || Gives the floor a name and makes that name appear before fading in.
|-
| 1 || MoneySpawnZoneStep || Specifies how much total money spawns on the first floor, and how much is added each floor.
|-
| 1.1 || ItemSectionedZoneStep || Sets the spawn table for items and applies them to multiple floors.
|-
| 1.1 || ItemSpawnZoneStep || Sets the spawn rate for individual items and applies them to multiple floors.  More flexible than ItemSectionedZoneStep but harder to understand probabilities.
|-
| 1.2 || TeamSpawnZoneStep || Sets the spawn rate for individual enemies and applies them to multiple floors.
|-
| 1.3 || TileSpawnZoneStep || Sets the spawn rate for individual traps and applies them to multiple floors.
|-
| * || RangeStepZoneStep || Takes a GenStep and applies it to ranges of floors.  Only one GenStep can apply to a given floor.  The priority that should be specified will depend on what the step is.
|-
| * || SpreadStepZoneStep || Takes a collection of GenSteps and spreads them across the dungeon based on a SpreadPlan.
|-
| * || SpreadStepRangeZoneStep || Takes a collection of GenSteps and spreads them across the dungeon based on a SpreadPlan.  Each individual GenStep can have its own range and they can overlap.
|-
| * || SpreadRoomZoneStep || Takes a room and spreads it across the dungeon based on a SpreadPlan.  Uses two priorities: one for GridPlans, one for FloorPlans
