The Perlin Noise node
When to use it
Classic Perlin. Smoothly varying pseudo-random values, good for soft bumps and gentle organic detail. Output sits roughly between -1 and 1, so remap before treating it as a mask.
One octave only. For the layered detail that actually reads as terrain, Perlin FBM.
Perlin has mild axis-aligned artefacts, faint grid lines you notice once you know they are there. Simplex is the better default for that reason.
