As noted by the changelog for 26.3, the carver type “cave” has an optional field that multiplies the start of every tunnel segments vertical radius, listed as “start_vertical_radius_multiplier” in the changelog.
However, the field that the current release actually looks for is “start_vertical_radiues_multiplier” (an extra “e” letter where there shouldn’t be). This is likely a misspelling, but is one that made it to the full release.
