Its so easy to explore Deep variation chains, by using a Custom Lua script list.

Pick a handful of variant scripts and just add them to the Script list. The variant scripts will be run from top-to-bottom.

To add a script to the list, select the script name to add, then click the Add Selected Script to List button.

See how I have created a list of 7 scripts to apply to every fractal produced by the main Lua script.

You will be amazed how powerful this technique is.

The coup-de-grace is to add a randomizeChains script to the end of the list. This script scrambles the variation group chain and can find some really different fractals.

With this fractal:

I ran some variants using Color gradient and the randomizeChains script. Result:
