The lighting engine has received subtle tweaks to ensure that stars illuminate planets realistically. Shadows cast by rings (like Saturn’s) are sharper and more reactive. Additionally, the —a fan favorite for vaporizing planets—now features improved particle effects and heat distribution logic. 4. UI and Quality of Life
This system ensures orbital accuracy even when the simulation speed is set to thousands of years per second, keeping your solar systems stable during long-term experiments. Looking Toward the Future: The 2026 Roadmap universe sandbox 2 v3411
