World (De-)serialization using run length encoding

Have the minimap cache the latest known picture of an island when that gets undloaded.

Because it would make things look better in Serialization for Saving & Loading, Networking, ...

Just e.g declare either a csv table connecting classes with IDs or define an enum.
We can't just declare the ID in the Constructor becausewe need ID-lookup.
To circumvent that though one could make a static createById() function.

Decide....

• Block lighting
• Sky lighting
• Ambient occlusion

Enable Islands to be of different biomes with impact on all resources found there.
Also add new naturally generated structures like Trees and so on

Get a real The Settlers-like Economy system rolling with many resources and processing buildings
