What to study

The habitat is edited in place, not on a separate build screen: the world stays live behind a bottom bar of placeable items, each with its own count, while a striped ghost shows exactly where the selected piece will land and confirm/cancel sit at the right edge. The lesson is how little chrome the mode needs — one bar, one ghost, two buttons — because the garden itself is the preview. Frame at about 45s in the Final Closed Beta Gameplay Showcase (YouTube). Pre-release footage; the Final Closed Beta begins November 25, 2026 and the game launches spring 2027. A Work in Progress / Subject to Change watermark is visible in the frame.
