Firstly let me explain the original cave system. There are basically 5 different types of textures;
Mold Caves; mostly used for Kwama Egg Mines
Mud Caves; mainly NPC inhabitants , rather than creatures.
Lava Caves; obviously a lot of the caves that have lava flows as a feature, but also a mixture of NPC inhabiting and also creature dwellings.
Bone; special locations
What we are doing is having more cave variety. We are going to have regional cave textures and design.
Lava Caves; these are real lava caves, carved out by lava flows.






So here is the tileset to use for Lava caves (possibly texture varieties, nothing is final). There is no cost to the game for having as many variations as possible, only that they fit with the area and geology.
Molag Amur textures;




Only subtle differences but helps with making sure that not every cave will look the same.
So we can mix it up with West Gash textures

Grazelands

We also have another Cave tileset that is for non lava formed caves. These are most likely to be the ones labeled "mold caves" and they are mainly Kwama Egg Mine Caves. Mostly for Bitter Coast and parts of Acadian Isles and West Gash.

When you have two or more of these linked together in the Creation Kit you can replace with one model instead.
Here is an example of 3 of these linked.
The wireframe so that you can see it more clearer.
