Lately I've been working on the world generator. 1) It's much faster now, especially if you have a lot of processor cores. 2) I'm increasing the view distance from 2km to ... about 200km, possibly more. And it's still faster than the current version. The views from mountaintops are ok now, but they're going to be ridiculous. 3) Since you can see so much further, I'm increasing the overall scale of terrain features. Bigger mountains, more space between them, etc.
If I finish these improvements before the town system update (which is very likely) I'll release an update just for this.
