For points of interest, specific rock formations or things that can be used as landmarks, like Scotts Bluff or Mount Fuji, is that something you would still craft by hand and place, or would you want to work through the procedural system?

Max has already touched on this, that right now we don't want to do things manually that won't work at scale for us. But obviously different planets will have different unique features, like Stanton I, Hurston, has the big mining pit and stuff like that. And some of Pyro and Nyx will also have unique features like that. And we do try to handcraft them within the system as much as we can. But we're always trying to work within procedural tools and make those things happen. And unless it's the iconic feature that makes or breaks the planet, we will stay away from handcrafting things too much. It's always a balancing act.
