+/*
+How village generating works:
+By descending from a cGridStructGen, a semi-random grid is generated. A village may be generated for each of
+the grid's cells. Each cell checks the biomes in an entire chunk around it, only generating a village if all
+biomes are village-friendly. If yes, the entire village structure is built for that cell. If not, the cell
+is left village-less.
+
+A village is generated starting by its well. The well is placed in the grid's origin point. Then a set of
+random lengths roads is generated - 4 roads going from the well, then at the end of each road another set of
+roads, crossing them perpendicular, then at the end of those another set, up to a set maximum branching
+depth. The roads are placed in a T or L shape, with the old road being the center stem of the T. Roads avoid
+crossing each other and going further away from the well than the maximum block size of the village.
+Finally, houses are places along the roads, avoiding collisions with already-existing items.
+
+When the village is about to be drawn into a chunk, it queries the heights for each item intersecting the
+chunk. The prefabs are shifted so that their pivot points lie on the surface, and the roads are drawn
+directly by turning the surface blocks into gravel / sandstone.
