4. Quality of Life: The Updated UI
The user interface has received a facelift. The old radial menu has been replaced by a floating, searchable palette. You can type "S" to jump to Sand, or "L" for Lava. More importantly, the brush sizes now include a "Random" scatter brush, allowing you to place elements with natural noise rather than perfect circles.
A new Thermal Overlay (toggle with 'T') shows the heat map of your world in real-time. Blue is cold, red is fire, white is molten. This is invaluable for understanding why your steam engine isn't working. sandspiel 2 updated
