Greetings Worldbuilders!
Are you frustrated by your landform's inability to keep the shapes you so carefully crafted for it? Disappointed when your towering piles of dirt slump into gentle, featureless mounds? Yearning for something harder, more durable, something rock solid?
Today your prayers have been answered! Your terraforming activities are now enhanced with the power of stone. Watch lava flows solidify into Igneous rocks, or place sedimentary rocks made from thousands of years of accumulated sediment. Mountain chains, towering cliffs, deep gorges, mesas amongst innumerable other formations are now available for you to craft and explore.
New materials
Igneous and sedimentary rocks have been added, both with different physical properties and which erode in different ways, vastly increasing the range of landscapes that can be created. Rock layers stack on top of each other allowing erosion to sculpt complex and varied environments.
A new, streamlined and more powerful editing interface gives more options when terraforming.
New lighting model and shadows
A brand new lighting model has been developed, most notably with the addition of shadows. Watch the sun rise and the day progress across your worlds.
Topographic map view
Gain new insight into the contours of your landscapes with the topographic map view.
