Cave worldgen stuck with mod enabled

[Gubbey]

Hello! The problem is exactly as the topic title says - when I have my mod enabled, non-cave worldgen works perfectly; however, when I have caves enabled it gets stuck while generating the world. The mod does add a new set piece (static layout) to world gen, so I'm guessing this is somehow the source of the problem for reasons I'm not getting. So I'll include the contents of modworldgenmain.lua in addition to modmain.lua (respectively):

local Layouts = GLOBAL.require("map/layouts").Layouts
local StaticLayout = GLOBAL.require("map/static_layout")

Layouts["Merm Shrine"] = StaticLayout.Get("map/static_layouts/merm_shrine")

AddSetPiecePreInitAny = function(name, count, tasks)

AddLevelPreInitAny(function(level)
if not level.set_pieces then
level.set_pieces = {}
end

level.set_pieces[name] = { count = count, tasks = tasks }
end)
end

local tasks={"Merms ahoy", "Guarded Squeltch", "Squeltch", "Swamp start", "Lots-o-Tentacles" }

AddSetPiecePreInitAny("Merm Shrine",1,tasks)

I've also included the rest of the mod below in the .zip file. What I want to know is: How can I make it stop freezing the cave worldgen? I don't want to add the setpiece to the caves, I just want the mod to work while caves are enabled. Thank you very much in advance!

@Gubbey I think it's because the Caves can't load those tasks because it doesn't have them in it's taskset, it can't find a spot to put it therefore it freezes. You're going to need to have a way to test if the level locations is not the caves. Or only the forest.
