Will planets be good and large? Can they have a ocean without being specifically an "ocean planet?"

Hey there.

Q: Will planets be good and large?
A: Large, yes. If you're asking about the gameplay area, then the current max size of each zone you're in is decently large. It's about as high as Terraria's maximum and can be considerably wider. I'm not sure if I can say the tech specs but let's just say considerably. As for good, I'm hopeful that you'll like what we're doing with them.

Q: Can they have a (specific biome) without specifically being a (biome planet)?
A: Yes. The current priority is developing Zone-Wide Themes in a way that's cohesive while also adding a decent biome diversity. We want you to find the idea of exploring the place you're in interesting, without getting the feeling that you've seen it all. Also, "in a way that's cohesive" is not a way of saying things will be limited as in my research there's some crazy stuff going on when it comes down to sudden wild changes in our very planet (especially when it comes down to snow > sand transitions), rather that there's a special attention going to how they're placed.

I feel like it's important that the joy of discovery is there whether you're going right or down.
