Trivia

- When the old Building Editor was displayed, it was shown that player cannot separately color the faces of individual parts, dramatically limiting the detail a building can have.
- The Bodies part "Octa-roost" suggests that it's an octagon, but it's actually a hexagon.
- The Details part "Vacuole" shares its name with a cell organelle.
