An important part of development right now is creating new content. Testers enjoy the core gameplay but the current amount of content lasts for about half an hour.

For new content I wanted something different than dirt, rocks and metals and create something more 'alive'. Introducing the Jungle biome!

I was always impressed by how Starbound did its cave generation including plant life, so I am trying to create something similar. I also added mineable crystals, since I always loved how those glowing crystals looked with the jungle theme in World of Warcrafts' Un'Goro Crater and Sholazar Basin.
