Latitude v1.2.2 — Border & Biome Consistency Update

This release focuses on fixing world size clarity, restoring proportional polar warnings, and correcting biome inconsistencies near the poles.

🧭 World Size & UI

• Diameter-Based Labels: Clarified the size selector to display diameter labels (e.g., Regular 20k) for better planning.
• Expanded World Sizes: Added more presets to the diameter selection:
  • Itty Bitty: 7.5k
  • Tiny: 10k
  • Small: 15k
  • Regular: 20k
  • Large: 30k
  • Huge: 40k
• Backwards Compatibility: Restored and expanded options without breaking existing worlds.

🌍 Latitude Accuracy

• Zone Entry Titles: Now display your actual player latitude (e.g., Tropics 18°N), matching the HUD exactly.
• Calculated Precision: Removed discrepancies between zone-center math and player-position math.

❄️ Polar & Border Warnings (Major Fix)

• Distance-Based Staging: Replaced percentage thresholds with clear distance-to-border milestones:
  • 300 blocks: "Consider turning back"
  • 150 blocks: "Lethal conditions ahead" + mild debuffs
  • 50 blocks: Lethal cold / full effects
• Status Effects: Restored Stage 2 negative effects (Slowness, Weakness) that were missing in v1.2.1.
• Consistent Logic: Applied this staging consistently for both North/South cold zones and East/West sandstorm zones.

🌱 Biome Generation Consistency

• Vertical Alignment: Biomes are now applied consistently across the full vertical column, fixing "mixed" reads like beaches appearing at high altitudes.
• Key Improvements:
  • More reliable snow accumulation.
  • Corrected polar terrain appearance.
  • Better alignment for villages and structures.

🛠 Stability & Compatibility

• Safe Updates: No world corruption or border resizing for existing saves.
• World Size Shift: Existing worlds are automatically accommodated. For example, if you had a 10k diameter world previously labeled "Regular," it is now correctly labeled "Tiny" to prevent chunk shifts.
