Project Atmosphere

Added

• Region-first plumbing: region orchestrator scaffolding, region-based sampling APIs, and unified region key (RegionInstanceKey) across wind/state/spike/orchestrator.

Changed

• Spikes are region-only (removed from biome generation); player movement tracking is region-based (regen when entering a new region or moving ~80% of region size).
• Cloud sampling uses region centers; far clouds culled; SimpleClouds spawns hard-capped at 10k from players and biased closer.
• Removed pattern cloud type

Fixed

• Partial fix for cloud coverage.

Notes

• Region-first runtime: unified region key and region-based APIs simplify lookups and reduce biome churn.
• Region-only spikes and region movement tracking reduce regen spam (regen on new region or ~80% region-size move).
• Cloud behavior: sampling uses region centers, far clouds culled, SimpleClouds spawns hard-capped at 10k and biased toward nearby players to keep cloud effects relevant.
• Next steps: further optimize region management, enhance cloud dynamics, and refine spike integration with biome features.

AS ALWAYS UPDATING TO THIS VERSION REQUIRES DELETING YOUR OVERWORLD FOLDER (created by Project Atmosphere) TO AVOID ISSUES WITH THE NEW REGION SYSTEM.

• Go to your worlds folder and delete the "overworld" folder to allow the new region system to generate fresh regions.
• Note that this will reset the current forecast and could introduce desynced weather effects if the forecast isn't regenerated properly. (/temperature regenerate)
