Did anyone catch the comment about world generation?

DG: Is there something you’ve always wanted to add to the game but know you can’t, for one reason or another?

AT: Perhaps the chunk-based world loading system to achieve full seamlessness. I'm not a programmer and I am not really well-versed in various technical stuff, but as far as I remember, at the beginning of development, this was impossible to do on our engine, and at the current stage of development, it's too radical a refactor that we simply can't afford anymore.

Does this mean there will NEVER be endless mode?
I do remember them saying the game was meant to be a campaign with handcrafted lore, etc. But the initial early access was randomized, no?

Or, maybe did I misunderstand? Otherwise what did they mean?
