BlocksBeyondTheStars Daily: Woodland Release Fixes Fire, Air and Power Scale
Player reports from October 21st drove three simulation fixes — fire behavior, air refills, and power relay scale — shipped as v2026.10.24 the woodland release, while a behavior-preserving refactoring epic opened. The pattern is correctness under scale, with deterministic life-support, safer burning, and cached power walks.

Good morning, it is October 22nd, 2026.
Yesterday's work followed a single pattern: player reports exposing simulation edge cases, fixed and shipped as version 2026.10.24, the woodland release.
First, fire and air correctness. In PR 2876, living trunks no longer catch fire, so a burning bush at the foot of a giant tree no longer climbs the trunk to the flame limit and leaves an ash column behind. Crowns and plants still burn. Crates, beds and stretchers were also made non-flammable, because fire swaps a…
Second, scale and visual polish for large builds. PR 2882 doubles the power relay limit from 32 to 64, enough for a spoke plus ring around a 95 by 95 spaceport. It also removes the ten-second rescan. Sentry coverage stays cached until a post, relay, or chain cell actually changes, with a full walk at the cap…
Finally, release and what is next. PR 2877 cut the woodland release notes, changelog stamps and in-game feed in German and English, with PR 2878 adding the twelve community languages from the blog translation. Open draft PR 2916 starts October code-health refactoring, explicitly behavior preserving for saves,…
