That's fine!

For easier testing, could you provide a simple cmd line example?
Ideally with the North Carolina dataset?

To simulate 30 mio Vector points, just set the raster resolution to cm
or the like.
An example with way less points is also fine, scaling it to more
points is easier than writing it from scratch...
