V3.5.0 Overview

V3.5.0 focus is better performance on toasters + worldgen fixes (Bug). This update aims to improve city stitching, reduce heavy `BuildingInfo` lookups (Optimised), while also performing better when Distant Horizons is installed.

City Boundary Stitching

• Fixed hard city cuts at multichunk area boundaries(Bug reported on Discord. Thx to lordchaos4)
• Added better boundary tracking for neighboring city areas
• Improved city chunk role detection around border chunks
• Roads/buildings should now properly connect across areas

Shadow Apply Expansion

• Added more gen phase shadow apply paths (Ditching queues)
• Moved almost all cleanup work away from the main thread
• Chunk post-processing should now perform a lot better with more throughput

BuildingInfo Performance Upgrades

• Added BuildingInfo snapshotting for faster repeated lookups (Cuts around-ish 50% CPU load. Depends on hardware)
• Improved chunk role probing for less repeated state checks
• Reduced duplicate work when nearby chunks are already known/generated
• Better throughput in general (Especially heavy packs or huuuge cities)

Distant Horizons Compatibility Improvements

• Reduced cases where Distant Horizons actively enjoyed bottlenecking LC²H xd
• Improved DH scheduling

Generation Fixes

• Improved city block identification around boundary chunks
• Fixed more edge cases where valid city chunks did not stitch correctly due to code issues
• Improved lostcities dimension handling in city/spawn logic (Was brokey)

Extras

• Added a new command `/lc2h profile [profile name]`. This forces The Lost Cities to generate cities and roads in an existing world, while not overwriting already generated chunks. (Requested feature). IT'S EXPERIMENTAL AND RISKY BTW

Codebase Cleanup

• Moved all Forge logic into it's own folder (Prepping for port)
• Cleaned up unused old code
• Made the project easier to port later
