Yes, congrats to everyone here. You've got some great discussion taking place on these boards.

I saw your curved wall post on the official boards but never got to it. Basically, we will have curved walls and rough-edged natural walls but I don't think they're quite what you're looking for. They'll be tight curves, covering a 90-degree arc within a single 10-meter tile. In other words, a 2x2 grid of curved tiles will give you a perfect circle. Anything bigger than that will end up being a square (or other straight-edged shape) with smoothed corners. Even an octagon would be difficult, as we probably won't have wall tiles set at a 45-degree angle. Nevertheless, keep up the good work. You'll come up with something that looks sweet, I have no doubt.
