The normal-cloud feature generator and the clusters generator both have similar underlying math to the placement. Both start by selecting a central point and then using a "normal distribution" model to create a "point cloud" around that central point where they will actually generate the feature.
Where the normal-cloud will put a single ore at each of those outlying points, the clusters will generate small spawns of user-determined size at each of those points.
There are no definitive examples available at this time, so instead I'll just list the parameters here, starting with the ones that are shared and then covering the ones that are unique to either generator.
Shared Parameters
maxSpread - the maximum diameter of the cloud or center-to-center maximum separation of spawned nodes across the chosen center
medianSize - average diameter of the cloud, modified by "variance"
variation - +/- deviation from medianSize (see note on mediaSize)
frequency - how often this will succeed at being spawned as a feature
minAttempts - minimum number of times to try to place this feature
maxAttempts - maximum number of times to try to place this feature
