Tellus 0.8.2

Cave Generation and Structures

• Caves now generate across the full underground depth, including deep levels.
• Cave systems now use larger, more modern shapes.
• Deep underground structures should be easier to discover through cave exploration.

• Improved the speed and reliability of map loading in Set Spawnpoint.
