Description
One of the best ways to exhibit hyperbolic geometry is with structures that are impossible in euclidean space. We should extend worldgen to produce a variety of such structures, e.g. yendorian trees, whose branches don't decrease in size compared to their parent branch. These structures are characterized by being substantially larger than a graph node; think large buildings, cave systems, and megastructures. They don't necessarily have to be constructed from voxels.
The main challenge here is generating such features deterministically no matter how you approach them, and in defining complex, interesting hyperbolic geometry in a maintainable way.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the worldgen code and tracing how existing structures are generated and seeded. Define a maintainable approach for deterministic large-scale hyperbolic structures, with completion criteria agreed before implementation.
