Well, I'm obviously maxed within in-game settings, but it still sucks. I don't mind grass pop in and other detail, but not being able to recognize biome from few hundred meter (while exploring with boat) is obnoxious because it's not about aesthetics, but about not getting relevant information. Like dayum this game keeps just vague silhouette of a land almost till you bump in into shore instead of incremental LOD of detail based on distance (to avoid wrecking fps by loading too much detail from too far).

I'll try to play with lodbias command to see if it makes exploring easier.. I'm worried because my friend warned me as he literally got to close of final biome will only being geared 2nd biome - and some mobs wrecked him from afar and he lost all the gear (died again while recovering). All because you see what's what when it's too late...
