Camera System:
- Smooth pan/zoom camera that tracks new creations
- Zooms in when AI builds surface features
- Tracking indicator with brackets shows current focus
- Camera status in HUD shows tracking target and zoom level
- Auto-returns to universe view after observing
Surface Building (when zoomed to planets):
- Mountains: Raised peaks with snow caps
- Creatures: Animated life forms (Floaters, Crawlers, Swimmers, etc.)
- Buildings: Towers, Temples, Observatories, Monuments with windows
- Cities: Glowing settlements with flickering lights
AI Improvements:
- Slowed decision cycle from 2s to 4.5s for better observation
- AI now builds directly ON worlds (not just creates celestial objects)
- 15-phase decision tree with surface building priorities
- Camera automatically tracks each creation
- Deeper zoom (6x) for surface features, normal zoom (2.5x) for space objects
HUD Updates:
- Surface stats section (mountains, creatures, buildings, cities)
- Camera status display
- Improved styling with backdrop blur
Soul entries now describe surface creations:
- "I raised Mt. Thunder on Terra-447. Its peak touches the clouds."
- "A new Floater drifts through the air on Gaia-221. Life finds a way."
- "The city of Nova rises on Kronos-88. A beacon in the darkness."
