After a blast finishes, or after a collapse lands, run a flood-fill connectivity check over voxel neighbors, starting from the ground/bedrock layer. Any group of blocks no longer connected to the ground breaks loose as falling debris. Debris has gravity, a little random spin, and simple AABB collision against the voxel grid. Groups under ~12 voxels fall as separate tumbling cubes. Bigger groups fa

Replace the hardcoded ring of 6 spires with data-driven layouts. Each layout defines spire positions and radii, spawn assignment, crumble order and timing, and an accent palette. Three layouts ship: Ember Ring (the current ring, default, unchanged), Twin Crowns (two clusters of 3 spires with a small neutral spire in the middle, crumbling from the far ends toward the center) and Shattered Steps (a

Playtester John says the first-person rocket launcher on the soldier-role ("boomer") class looks like it's floating in front of the camera, as if no one is holding it. Fix the first-person viewmodel so the launcher looks held. Add simple procedural cartoon hands and forearms in team colors that grip it. Move it to a shoulder-mounted spot at the lower right, running off the screen edge, so it doesn
