# Adjusting Seed

From the previous articles you should now have a basic understanding of how World Creator operates. Let's start creating a real world terrain by creating a sandy river valley.

We first start by increasing our seed to a base terrain, that resembles our wanted look better. We do this in the main [terrain settings panel](/reference/terrain.md).&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Changing the seed in the terrain settings adjusts it globally, which means it also changes the seed for all other elements such as shape layers, filters and distributions. To change the seed locally, simply change it in the element you want to adjust.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.world-creator.com/walkthrough/crafting-a-shape/create-a-volcano.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
