@richardryerson In this video the radius of the planet was like 4096 units so there are currently no precision problems; however they may occur if I'm going for more realistics scales later on...
maybe give chunks that are in the centre of the screen a bit more priority, since that is where the player is usually focused on... if you are not already doing this... just a suggestion, I would in no way be able to make something as awesome as this in a loooooooong time ;)
@OGMO11 Well then I would have to update the division of the chunks everytime the perspective changes, which would result in a massive CPU load if I were to quickly look around.
Nevertheless I'm grateful for every idea you guys have ;)
challenge complete - YEAH!!

@ScorpyX Not yet ^^
There are still a lot of things to do ;)

looking good! silly questions: how large is the planet? (units?) are you running into data type (single precision?) issues with these large objects?

Pretty nice! How much time do you spend working on this stuff?
