Template talk:Infobox terrain

Terrain property stuff

Currently there as the settings:

• "Can be Paved". With used info "Yes" and "No"
• "Can be Plowed". With used info "Yes" and "No"

General issue: Its not clear/stated in the infobox that this is related to direct paving of the given terrain.

Bypassing that relation. A third "Can be Paved" state makes sense. "Yes (Indirectly)". Which would turn the meaning of "No" into a definite never.

Some additional teraforming prop perhaps ...

...

General look at terrain types:

Terrain	Class	Speed	Plow	Pave	Wood	Grass	Dirt	Dig	Notes
(grass-biomes)	GrassLand	Sprint	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y (soil/worm)
(Forest-biomes)	Forest	Run	Y	N	N	N	N	Y (soil/worm)
(Swamp-biomes)	SwampLand	Walk	N	N	N	N	N	N	Terraforming impervious terrain/tile.
(Shallows F/S)	Shallow	Walk	N	N	N	N	N	Y (ballClay)	Terraforming impervious terrain/tile.
Mudflat	(mudflat)	Sprint	N	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y (acreClay)	Can be change, but not back to mudflat type.
Beach	(solid)	Sprint	N	N	N	N	N	Y (sand/...)	Terraforming impervious terrain/tile. (Dig)No tile elevation change.
Mountain	(solid/rocky)	Sprint	N	Y	Y	N	N	Paxe(Stone?)
Mountain Snow	(solid)	Sprint	N	Y	Y	N	N	Y(Snow)	(Dig)No tile elevation change.
Sand Cliff	(solid/rocky)	Sprint	N	Y	Y	N	N	Paxe(Stone?)
(Cave-biomes)	(solid)	Sprint	N	Y	Y	N	N	N	(Dig:paved:any) All revert back to plain cave ground.

Terrain type parameter

Preliminary wip.

Parameter: "terrain_type"
Potential values: forest, grass/grassland/..., water(fresh/ocean)), sand, rock/mountain, snow(high mountain), ...
... Mudflat, dirt(not used to fill larger areas, wild life trails, default junk terrain)
General terrain properties: speed(1,2,3,4), plow(Y/N), dig(+leveling), dig(resource only)(beach, mountain, ...)

-- General SMW prop issue: Could save them, but that data only becomes SMW-calleble after the page is saved. (ie: calls on local input should not be used in infobox. + preview mode, also needs additional page refresh to show up.)
-- default terrain-type properties (speed/plow/...) are related to terrain type. ...
-- option 1) ditch related default terrain properties. (no way to set or overwrite them when needed. (is overwrite needed ? for some: yes)
-- option 2) ignore specified default terrain properties if terrain-type is used. (no way to overwrite them when needed. (is overwrite needed ? for some: yes)
-- option 3) ... see about supporting both. terrain-type initially sets them. after which specified terrain property input overwrite them.
-- -- Can only edit target infobox entries only ones. so need to know in advance which input to use. ...
... add terrain-type check at each terrain property input check (with default fallback value) ...
... in case of no specific default terrain properties input, ie only terrain-type input ...
