sorta?

during the "determine POI position" step, it can run 2 ways: completely proc-gen (positions determined by algorithm) or bespoke (predetermined positions)

but i don't really "edit" the islands so much as steer their initial generation

& yes, no overhangs or tunnels w the heightmap approach!

seb's video has minecraft-style infinite terrain, which the game didn't need, so the final system looks like this:

1. determine the position of POI
2. draw a heightmap around the POI
3. pass the heightmap to the seb-style terrain gen system, which handles breaking it into chunks, LOD levels, etc.
