Playne should be infinite

[darkhog]

As in “minecraft infinite”. I know it may seem big now (and pretty empty as well), but game is in Pre-Alpha and once floodgates really open, it will fill in a matter of days. And I’d hate to see release notes for new patches being filled with “added 5 new Playnes” or similar. Or wore yet, construction powers being taken away from free players.

Since basic structure of Playne is very simple (grassy ground and teleporter every few tiles), it could be generated infinitely but somewhat simple algorithm and saved in chunks (like Minecraft’s world). In order to make size smaller, only chunks which contains player claims would be saved.
