Although I had managed to develop the code to load environments (now called exploration zones) from a Lua file, to pick one and then create a map using the biomes that the exploration zone allowed, the process of loading relatively simple data from Lua annoyed me.

wrote most of the code helped me. I asked the AI for preferable alternatives, and it suggested either JSON files or TOML ones. TOML seemed fancier and better somehow (I have already forgotten the reasons), so I have spent some hours going through the somewhat grueling process of destroying the basic code that worked, to improve the system.
