## What it is
Gaea is a procedural generation add-on for Godot 4 that uses a node-based graph system to build customizable generation pipelines for 2D and 3D terrains and worlds. It supports creating custom nodes, enabling endless generation possibilities for game developers.

## Use cases
- generate 2d terrain in godot
- procedural cave generation like nuclear throne
- 3d world generation for godot 4
- node-based procedural generation tool
- create custom procgen nodes in godot
- generate tilemaps procedurally

## When to choose
- you use Godot 4.4+ and need terrain or world generation
- you want a visual graph-based workflow for procedural content
- you need both 2D and 3D generation support
- you want to extend generation with custom nodes

## When to avoid
- you use Godot 4.3 or below without wanting the 1.X branch
- you need a battle-tested tool for large, complex production projects (2.0 is early development)
- you don't use Godot as your game engine
