Planets
Planets have a size and a type. The size controls which layers appear and how big they are; the type controls which biomes may appear in each layer.
Planet sizes
One vertical pixel in this diagram (except the 1px gaps between layers) corresponds to 50 blocks.

Planet types
Layers are populated with regions. A region specifies a choice of biomes, a list of possible major dungeons (microdungeons are per-biome), rules for generating the world geometry, and what liquid may appear.
Every layer has at least one primary region, which is usually dirt or cobblestone. It may also have secondary regions, which tend to contain the interesting biomes, and are generated "on top" in large chunks.
Regions are not an obvious part of the game, so this table mostly focuses on biomes.
