An issue with oceans and craters on Terras

19 Apr 2017 23:42

I've noticed an odd issue when adding craters to Terras. When a terra has craters, the sea levels are drastically lower than on an identical terra without craters, even *without* modifying the bumpHeight, Offset, or even Ocean Heights in the catalog file:

Without craters.
Is this normal? Or a bug?

The Earth has erosion and large oceans which other planets do not have. Erosion erases craters. So does deposit of sediments. Oceans cover craters and tectonic plate movements erase them eventually. Geologists have become better at identifying craters which have become obscured. The Atlantic Ocean is 250 million years old which means no craters from before that time are visible.
