What is the plans for planets performance?

Hello,
Does someone know what are the plans for planets in the future,like performance and having bigger planets.

Planet performance isn't a specific issue. Its an issue with performance on big structures. And the plans are to gradually improve them through alpha and beta.

Well,normamly you cant see a the entire structure so why generate it just generate what you can see.

It is a very specific issue; it's the only sane case in which twelve massive entities are supposed to be inside each others' bounding boxes, a case in which the other side of a planet is never visible from one side, a case in which there is automatic gravity... A lot of changes and fixes can and must be made to planets specifically.

There are still debates going on as to whether we should keep the 12-sided planets or create something entirely new. I wasn't able to find a good way to map a square onto a sphere so I'm kind of neutral on the matter. (You can do it, but there are mathematical problems that make things strange.)

Well we've been trying to figure that out since we first started drawing maps on flat sheets of paper.

Kinda doubt Shine is going to be the one to Crack that nut.
