-The Cubeset file has a .cubeset extension. Internally it is a Lua source file that provides a global value, Cubeset, which is a table containing the structured data.

 <p>
 The top-level Cubeset table must contain at least two sub-tables: Metadata and Pieces. The Metadata table contains the metadata relevant to the entire set of prefabs in the file, the Pieces table contains the definitions and metadata for the individual prefabs. It is advised to make the Metadata table the first one, because it contains the signature used to identify the file ("CubesetFormatVersion ="). Apart from these two subtables the server ignores everything else.</p>

 The Cubeset.Metadata table is used to store metadata for the entire set of prefabs, and also for the format and version identification. It is a regular dictionary-style Lua table; the following elements are recognized:
 <table>
 <tr><th>Name</th><th>Type</th><th>Content</th></tr>
-<tr><td>CubesetFormatVersion</td><td>number</td><td>This is the format identification and at the same time it specifies the version of the file. Currently the file version is 1.</td></tr>
+<tr><td>CubesetFormatVersion</td><td>number</td><td>This is the format identification and at the same time it specifies the version of the file. Currently the file version is 1. Note that Cuberite checks the presence of the string "CubesetFormatVersion =", including the space between the word and the equals-sign, within the first 8 KiB of the file.</td></tr>
 <tr><td>ExportDate</td><td>string</td><td>The date when this file was exported, in the ISO format ("2015-06-16 13:34:03"). Inserted by <a href="https://github.com/madmaxoft/GalExport">GalExport</a> for versioning purposes. Ignored elsewhere.</td></tr>
 <tr><td>ExternalSchematic</td><td>boolean</td><td>Flag inserted by <a href="https://github.com/madmaxoft/GalExport">GalExport</a> to indicate that the individual prefabs are stored in separate .schematic files. Ignored elsewhere.</td></tr>
+<tr><td>IntendedUse</td><td>string</td><td>String identifying the generator part that the cubeset file is intended for. The server logs a warning when loading a cubeset file without an IntendedUse metadata; individual generators log a warning if a wrong IntendedUse is detected in a file they are asked to use.</td></tr>

+<tr><td>SeedOffset</td><td>number</td><td>Number that is added to world's seed for this generator</td><td>Each cubeset file should have a different seed offset, otherwise it runs the risk of its structures being generated directly over other cubeset file's that the server admin has enabled.
