| Name | Type | Default | Range | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| edge | number | 3.2 | 1.2 to 40 km | how far the ice front stands inland from home's door; lower it and the ice advances toward the coast |
| thickness | number | 3000 | 200 to 3000 m | the ice's thickness at the dome's centre (Greenland: over 3,000 m) |
| radius | number | 50 | 12 to 120 km | the dome's radius, centre to front; a wider dome is thicker at any distance behind the front |
| shape | choice | round | round, elongated | a round dome, or a long ice divide stretched along the shore |
| bearing | number | 12 | -60 to 60 deg | which way the dome lies, in degrees from straight inland toward along the shore |
| lobes | integer | 4 | 0 to 8 | how many outlet glaciers push tongues out of the ice front; 0 for a smooth front |
| lobeLength | number | 4 | 0 to 12 km | how far the longest outlet lobes reach beyond the front, toward the sea |
| bedRelief | number | 260 | 0 to 700 m | the hills under the ice and on the tundra before it; hilltops poke through near the front |
| moraine | number | 30 | 0 to 80 m | the height of the ridge of rubble the ice leaves before its front; 0 for none |
| ground | number | 20 | 4 to 200 m | the land's height above today's sea before the ice |
| seed | integer | 7 | 0 to 999 | the dice behind the hills, lobes and swells of the ice; a different number, a different ice sheet |
