Aurelius Protocol: Genre Sandbox NEVER List

• NEVER use individual RigidBody nodes for every block; strictly use Static Colliders for the world and reserve physics for dynamic props.
• NEVER simulate the entire world every frame; strictly process "Dirty" chunks with active changes. Sleeping chunks must consume zero CPU.
• NEVER update MultiMesh buffers every frame; strictly batch changes and only rebuild the buffer when a modification completes (e.g., player stops painting).
• NEVER use standard Godot Nodes for every grid cell; strictly use PackedInt32Arrays or typed Dictionaries to keep RAM overhead minimal.
• NEVER raycast against every individual voxel for placement; strictly use Grid Quantization (floor(pos/size)) for direct O(1) cell calculation.
• NEVER render every block face in a chunk; strictly generate an ArrayMesh that only pushes visible exterior faces to the GPU (Culling/Greedy Meshing).
• NEVER save raw arrays of every block transform; strictly use Run-Length Encoding (RLE) (e.g., "Air x 50,000") to compress uniform spaces.
• NEVER load massive terrain chunks synchronously; strictly use ResourceLoader.load_threaded_request() to prevent frame stutter.
• NEVER use standard text .tscn files for voxel datasets; strictly use binary .res files for 10x faster parsing.
• NEVER ignore Floating-Point Precision limits (32,768 units); strictly implement floating-origin shifting for massive worlds.
• NEVER hardcode element interactions (if water and fire); strictly use a Property System where interactions emerge from material attributes (flammability, density).
• NEVER trust client-side placement in multiplayer; strictly require the Server to validate bounds and resources.
• NEVER manipulate the SceneTree from background generation threads; strictly use call_deferred() or Mutex locks for safety.
• NEVER leave orphaned chunks in memory; strictly track loaded regions and call queue_free() on discarded branches.
