The cause wasn't the save file — it was the runtime capping heap at 75 percent of the container's memory limit while native memory sat outside that budget entirely. The fix drops the heap cap to 55 percent,…
The second theme is judgment calls disguised as bug reports. PR #1730 reviewed seven fresh player reports and found zero defects — water spreading, lava crusting, and wall-reach limits were all working as coded. Rather than patch correct behavior, the team recorded five decisions instead. Those decisions then…
Rounding it out, PR #1731 worked through a July audit of world generation: most findings were already fixed by earlier fauna work, but flora now reads biome themes on generation four, and eight smaller hygiene fixes landed in crop tinting, spawn probes, and chunk meshing.
What's next: watch the new water-spout and power-relay blocks under real builder load, and confirm the heap-cap fix holds on other hosted worlds, not just the one that failed.
