### Schematics
* `minetest.create_schematic(p1, p2, probability_list, filename, slice_prob_list)`
* Create a schematic from the volume of map specified by the box formed by p1 and p2.
- * Apply the specified probability values to the specified nodes in `probability_list`.
+ * Apply the specified probability and per-node force-place to the specified nodes
+ according to the `probability_list`.
* `probability_list` is an array of tables containing two fields, `pos` and `prob`.
* `pos` is the 3D vector specifying the absolute coordinates of the
node being modified,
- * `prob` is the integer value from `0` to `255` of the probability (see: Schematic specifier).
+ * `prob` is an integer value from `0` to `255` that encodes probability and
+ per-node force-place. Probability has levels 0-127, then 128 is added to
+ encode per-node force-place.
+ For probability stated as 0-255, divide by 2 and round down to get values
+ 0-127, then add 128 to apply per-node force-place.
* If there are two or more entries with the same pos value, the
last entry is used.
* If `pos` is not inside the box formed by `p1` and `p2`, it is ignored.
* If `probability_list` equals `nil`, no probabilities are applied.
- * Slice probability works in the same manner, except takes a field
- called `ypos` instead which
- indicates the y position of the slice with a probability applied.
+ * Apply the specified probability to the specified horizontal slices according to the
+ `slice_prob_list`.
+ * `slice_prob_list` is an array of tables containing two fields, `ypos` and `prob`.
+ * `ypos` indicates the y position of the slice with a probability applied,
+ the lowest slice being `ypos = 0`.
* If slice probability list equals `nil`, no slice probabilities are applied.
* Saves schematic in the Minetest Schematic format to filename.
