I'll give it a try. But in order to achieve the result shown in my pictures, I'd have to do some basic vector calculations. Is it possible to get the x and y component of the distance to the next spot? Also, I'd like to use the noise for more stuff than just world generation. Is it possible to store...

no, I call LuaSurface.set_tiles() only once for each chunk. I'm only new to factorio modding, not to programming ;P

Do you have some pictures of what you got so far btw? Sure. Here you go: Factorio_Worley.png Factorio_Worley_3.png at the moment I don't evaluate the noise at each tile, but only once in a 2x2 square, which makes it 4-times faster, but the edges are jagged. The images just show the overall shapes t...

Thanks for the feedback! The noise expression system look, although on first sight I don't see a possibility to implement cellular noise with it. But I'll dig deeper! No, you can't parrallize, most of the game - including the lua state - runs single-threaded. I kind of expected that :( But honestly,...

I want to implement my own map creation algorithm using my own implementation of Worley / Voronoi Noise in Lua. Unfortunately it turns out to be quite slow which causes a short but noticeable break about once each second which is extremely annoying. I believe this is the case because the game keeps ...
