      This shouldn't have any major effect on existing factories, so you should be safe here if you've got stuff there.

      Next area is going to be the rocky desert.

      This is one area that got a lot of treatment when it comes to the non-uniformly scaled cliff faces.

      So there's been a lot of that stuff been reworked here in the rocky desert, which means anything that is on or tightly around those cliff faces or structures may have some floating or encroaching issues, but nothing, there shouldn't be anything too major.

      There's also been a lot of landscape polish that's happened as well, but it is mostly just polish, so it shouldn't really affect your factories too much.

      Just a lot of, like, flattening and smoothing out of certain things and creating, like, nicer transitions into cliffs, which sort of mimic reality a little more and things like that.

      like sand erosion going down off cliffs into the road, things like that.

      Little touches here and there.

      But yeah, factories for the most part should be safe here.

      There's also been a lot of foliage polish.

      The location of the foliage will still be in the same sort of area, but of course this might mean that that foliage pops back up in your factory again.

      One of the reasons why we went over this is, as I was saying before, roads and pathways are a major thing.

      And we think that this area struggled a lot with navigation.

      And so this has also gotten a bunch of like roads built into it as well to help with navigation for vehicles and on foot.

      And because of this creation of roads, um, we've essentially made more space in this area than anything, so it really does seem like if you run into factory placement issues here, it's gonna be that there's gonna be floating stuff rather than things being swallowed up.

      Um, but there has been a fair amount of changes, so you'll have to go and inspect your factories there.

      Yeah.

      Maybe you could just build, if they're floating, just, like, chuck some foundations.

      Quick fix.

      Just slap a band-aid on it.

      It'd work for me for my factories, but I bet you guys have higher standards.

      I mean, I'd just let it float.
