Good morning, it's November 12th, 2026.
The headline is scale with control: a new framework for single giant authored buildings lands, while player reports drive a round of visibility and interaction fixes.
First, landmarks. PR 3501 adds the framework only, not the final buildings. One placement at most per planet, picked by hash roll and never on asteroids or airless, gas or void worlds. Templates use a compact palette plus run-length encoding to keep even a large hall under one megabyte. Ruins get a shared…
Second, trust what you see and sit. PR 3479 bundles eight Lyxette reports. Wagon seats now come from one shared layout used by both meshing and the server, with proper bench forms and sleeper berths. Standing puts you in the aisle, sleepers lay you down, and the interact key prefers a passenger under the crosshair…
Related, PR 3482 restores the far view. One graphics switch now controls both distance softening passes, and both run on clear-weather haze only, with blur kept outside streamed blocks.
What's next: watch world generation 37 stability, landmark balance and performance of silhouettes and streaming, plus migration for the save bump.
