I don't understand how CMake can be the de-facto standard for C/C++ buildsystems with such godawful syntax highlighter support. Nobody is even ATTEMPTING such an extension in VSCode.

#screenshotsaturday I wanted to show what a Neu-xol carrier could look like. This design could launch 12 ships.
Also wanted to show off the color customization.

New ship parts, new ship look for the Neu-xol.
The Whirlpool has a battery of lasers but eventually the Neu-xol ships will be carriers that launch fighters.

This tech will blend spaces between meshes, smoothing the harsh lines between ship parts
I also fixed z-fighting from overlapping meshes by scaling overlapping models by -.0001

Build once. Reuse everywhere.
Once gives every action explicit inputs, outputs, and environment, so results are content-addressed, cached, and reusable across developers, coding agents, CI, and machines.
