A Game of Blocks

Added:

• Added terrain-aware castle roads that connect wall gates to building entrances.
• Added natural spawn surfaces for deer, direwolves, horses, and other passive wildlife.
• Added persistent castle road generation that safely continues after restarting a world.
• Added improved legacy gate discovery for castles created in older saves.

Fixed:

• Fixed passive mobs spawning in unnatural lines in the Ice and Fire dimension.
• Fixed passive wildlife not populating custom biomes like Overworld animals.
• Fixed castle roads missing wall entrances or ending in incorrect locations.
• Fixed roads cutting through buildings, walls, water, and unsuitable terrain.
• Fixed gate detection potentially loading distant or unloaded chunks.
• Fixed repeated castle-generation scans and completion messages running every tick.
• Fixed excessive recipe checks from idle brewing and cooking workstations.
• Fixed redundant world scans involving troops, companions, platforms, dynasty NPCs, and travel entities.
• Fixed interrupted voyage and land-travel sessions being removed too aggressively.

Changed:

• Passive mob populations are now distributed according to biome climate and terrain.
• Castle structures and walls are now generated before roads are routed and nature is placed.
• Castle roads now dynamically route around obstacles using bounded pathfinding.
• Territory maps now use shared ownership data and retain only the currently needed textures.
• Companion formations and moving platforms now use spatial indexes instead of repeated entity scans.
• Dynasty, house, kingdom, and castle ownership updates now avoid unnecessary network synchronization.
• Voyage progress is now saved periodically instead of every tick.
• Castle and gate maintenance work is now distributed across ticks to reduce server lag spikes.
• Expensive debug and travel logging is now disabled during normal gameplay.
