The chance that neighboring pieces of high and low ground are joined by more than one ramp, as a figure from 0 to 100.

Once the map is carved into regions, each pair of neighboring regions standing at different heights has ramps cut between them. One ramp is always asked for; the figure is the percentage chance, rolled once per pair, that one or two more are asked for as well. At 0 every such pair gets a single ramp and at 100 almost every pair gets two or three. Map seed files covers the section it is written in.
[RandomMap]Accessibility=75The ramps are cut at cells drawn at random from the higher region’s border, and up to a hundred cells are tried per pair. A pair still short of its ramps after fifty tries starts accepting fallback placements, which try the four straight ramp shapes at fixed endpoints rather than hunting for a shape that fits the ground. A pair that ends with no ramp at all marks the region as unconnected.
Water is joined differently and takes no notice of the figure: a region of water spans itself with bridges to the dry land on either side, and only where both sides stand at the water’s own height.
