SEED - Combining entities

Introduction

The SEED (System for Environmental Entity Distribution) was created by Tels in Summer 2010 and can either create entities at random places (depending on underground, height, distribution patterns and so on), or manage manually placed entities.

In both cases there are usually a lot of entities placed in a map. To improve the performance, the system can also combine entities and this page describes how that works.
