    Ok, maybe not so verbose from now on. I will keep notes on the exact steps in case anyone would like to see them.

    As I went along, I figured out that I'd need to change strategy, though. The multiple continent model did not process through the Gaussian blur, merge or threshold steps very well, and the land masses ended up connecting in places I didn't want them to (or very little coastline variation...).

    At this point, I think it's probably necessary to create each of the continents separately and bring them together in a larger map later.
