+## 🗺️ **WORLD LAYOUT STRATEGY**
+
+### **Biome Distribution (500x500 map):**
+
+```
+[Mountain]  [Mountain]  [Forest]    [Forest]    [Grassland]
+[Mountain]  [Forest]    [Forest]    [Grassland] [Grassland]
+[Forest]    [Forest]    [FARM]      [Grassland] [Desert]
+[Swamp]     [Forest]    [Grassland] [Desert]    [Desert]
+[Swamp]     [Swamp]     [Desert]    [Desert]    [Desert]
+```
+
+**Farm Location:** Center (250, 250) - always Grassland biome  
+**Biome Sizes:** 100-150 tile radius  
+**Transitions:** 20-30 tile gradual blend zones
+
+---
