If it's in the dungeons -> caves folder, I changed it.
This has taken me nearly 4 months of work with different iterations and generally just playing with how everything feels together.
I've ultimately landed upon this version (mostly close to vanilla) after hours of testing and walking through all the various different cave systems.
