How to increase draw distance to 200%?

In the settings menu , increase the number of chunks in view distance , the higher you set it , the more demanding it will be on your graphics card.

I have it on max, but its still not eneugh by my opinion.

You can manually edit the config.properties file in the game directory (steam/steamapps/common/risingworld) and change the values for "graphic_viewdistance" and "graphic_viewdistance_lod". But don't change the settings ingame then, since that would overwrite your values ;)
Also be aware that too high values might crash the game, or cause you to get stuck in the loading screen (in that case just lower the values).

thank you for your help, its great to see that development of this game continuing, and its not another abondonware, I cant wait for more updates and YOUR game is awesome, Minecraft and other games are nothing against your.

Mario is telling the truth, please do keep on developing, I look forward to seeing more updates. Hopefully very, very soon!

I wanted to know that, becouse if someone like me constructing whole city in large scale then its not very nice to looking forward and not see building which is 200 meters in front of me on other side of street.

Unfortunately buildings are currently not visible in the "low detail" area (all chunks that are far away).
In the options you find two settings, "View distance" and "Detail distance". Buildings (i.e. Blocks, Constructions) are only visible in the "detail" area, so you can increase the detail distance to increase visibility of buildings (but it's quite resource hungry).
We are working on a solution, but unfortunately we have no ETA at the moment =/

I have it on max now I think, its ok, if you solve it in future...

I already have the view and detail distances maxed and I'm making a large castle. If I fly up, I can see the wall nearest but not the furthest one. If I fly toward the furthest one to make it start appearing, the one I could originally see disappears. There isn't a position I can find that will allow me to see everything.

I'm also going to play with the distances to see how far I can push it before it impacts the performance.

I really would like if they will allow us to set both distances or at least detailed distance to 200%
