Dynamic Environment

• Procedurally generated terrain creates gentle hills, valleys, and lakes with a variety of biomes
• Audio system highlights sounds within the player's view, making the world feel alive without being overcrowded
• Soundscapes, lighting, wind, and rain vary based on weather

Object Culling

• Objects are grouped into sectors that are disabled once they leave the camera's view
• Improved framerate by ~25%
• Crop updates are batched and distributed between frames, improving performance for large farms

Crop Growth

• Crop state machine drives sizes, colors, and duration of crop growth
• Growth stages are configured on scriptable objects for efficient iteration
• Terrain hydration affects growth and alters crop appearance
