4:50 my boy really found a special island just by building in a straight line while i am searching for hours not finding one

Erm, I'm pretty sure that the raft defines the game. The raft is 0,0 coordinates, and the rest of the stuff just drifts by. When you anchor, you don't anchor the raft, you anchor the WORLD.
And it spawns stuff randomly. When you input a coordinate, it spawns that specific island somewhere and tells you where. Normal islands just spawn in randomly. When you rotate the steering wheel, you rotate the world.

Watching Fully, this reminds me of Portal, where I think the developers said the area beyond the portal is a clone of your current area, but still counted as a separate area for coding purposes. However, Astroneer takes place on a curved planet that does wrap around on itself because you are changing angles as you walk on the surface of the planet. If you were to build a Flat Surface on a Planet it would gradually become a steeper plane as the gravity pulls you toward the center of the planet.

I'm pretty sure that the reason the world seems to be round is just that when they get out of range of the raft origin, the islands are deleted and put back down as another island somewhere else. And if the world was simulated to be round, the developers would probably just make it so islands that go to far appear on the opposite side of the map, so the character and raft wouldn't actually be able to go around.

Raft render distance is small. You can literally see where the water just ends like 100 metres infront of you. But if the game lags too much it will cause the game to reload everything (islands that were loaded in respawn, but islands that werent spawned in move on the radar)
So technically the world is infinite, but the game just reloads the islands to be in a normal distance (1.500-3000m)

once you've built a raft long enough to circumnavigate the tile of the world, you'd have to turn and look for your bow or stern swiveling on the horizon, but the game won't render or track anything even one hundredth of that distance; you could be standing on where your raft overlaps itself but it won't render in from that distance, it ignores the ends existence..

So there are two main reasons why this didn't work. First off, the game specific renders in islands debris and etc in a certain radius from the true center of your raft. IE, the first board you're on when you start out. This is why people have also had islands disappear from underneath them suddenly: Their rafts weren't tethered and floated out of render distance for the island. The other thing is, the world doesn't actually loop around. From what people have found, the world is flat but when you reach the 'end', it teleports you back to the beginning of the world map. So it will never come back around on itself as you're just being teleported. This also is probably why it has such a hard time dealing with rafts that are longer, which is why it's recommended to not build out too far for performance reasons, and instead build up. I hope this helps!
