OMG Awsome Man!

[InFerNos1]

I would totally get this, but the clay generation is good now. Clay used to be so rare, does it keep the new clay? Or does this overwrite it?

Could you tweak beaches so they only appear on land bordering or in the ocean biome? That would make shores on landmasses and islands have beaches but lakes and rivers wouldn't(and they don't IRL).
