Start by selecting the number of tectonic plates (2-8 recommended) and their movement vectors to establish where your continent forms. Choose between convergent boundaries for mountain-building, divergent for rift valleys, or transform for coastal fault lines. Adjust the continental drift timeline slider (10-500 million years) to control how weathered and fragmented your landmass appears—older continents show more erosion and complex coastlines with bays and fjords.

Position your continent within latitude bands (equatorial, temperate, or polar) and enable the precipitation simulator to generate rainfall patterns based on prevailing winds and mountain rain shadows. Fine-tune biome transitions using the gradient smoothing tool (1-10km transition zones) to avoid unrealistic sharp boundaries between forests and deserts. Toggle seasonal variation to see how your continent's ecosystems change throughout the year.

Select your export resolution based on intended use—4K for digital display, 8K for print atlases, or vector SVG for infinite scalability. Enable the layer separation option to receive individual files for topography, hydrography, vegetation, and blank political boundaries. Download the metadata JSON file containing exact coordinates, elevation statistics, climate data, and suggested civilization placement zones based on arable land and freshwater access.
