+- **New-world lakes wake immediately; keep the seed layout (t96, 2026-10-29).** Keep the
+  recorded worldgen settling speeds and material/temperature output. Wake water after the
+  final startup reset so unfinished lakes level without drilling. Retain tree candidates and
+  their random draws, then omit whole trees whose bases are wet or on an open bank connected
+  to water at base height after settling. This keeps trees out of the lake as it spreads.
+  Existing load wake scheduling and later snowmelt/flooding rules stay as they are.
