The steampunk city of Caledonia in Blue Mars is actually the collaborative creation of a dozen or so developers, and over on the Blue Mars blog (which I help develop as a consultant), Desmong "the Guvnah" Shang explains how that's possible. “What we did,” he tells me, “was people picked blocks and developed them in the block editor -- this gave them their own local copy of Caledonia in a way, and they were able to construct in that.” Read how it came together here.
