Summary0006263: elevation x-variance used for both x and y directions
DescriptionAfter attempting to generate a "stripey world" by setting the elevation x-variance low any the y-variance high and failing many times, I did some tests.

It would seem that the y-variance value isn't being used at all, and that both directions are using the x-variance value.

[ELEVATION:1:400:3200:3200] http://tnypic.net/p9br1.png
Steps To ReproduceGenerate worlds with different values for x and y variance, and export the elevation maps. Observe that only the x-value affects anything.
