Crazy WIP area "The Work" discovered

[TT2]

UPDATE:
I got there a second time, this time by teleporting from the right of the map, found a new enemy and had a normal frame rate this time around.

Unfortunatly I died before I could try to fall down to see above what "The Works" is located :(

Original post:

Soooo, I found an extremely weird area ingame >.>

Disclaimer: I have not finished the game yet, so I don't know if you can get to this place in an intended way.

The Journey:

First, I got a chainsaw wand from the mines, then sawed through the giant tree left of spawn,
then I crossed the giant snow area, then swam through the lake, crossed the Island and swam even further,
untill I got to what I think is the border of the game.
Then i climbed said border for about 15-20 minutes, and there seemed to be no upper limit,
then I jumped from it to the right, using my jetpack to prolong the flight as long as possible.
After a bunch of minutes falling/flying to the right, the game started to lag horribly, as I entered an area the game called "The Work".

The Area:

"The Work" consisted out of steam/clouds that were solid and some darker weird matter, it was very laggy my whole visit.
There were 2 types of flying eye monsters, one shooting fireballs,
and red qube-crystals, that shoot purble energy balls in a nova pattern.
The crystals are called "Verikristalli" which I learned because one killed my during my laggy adventure.

Since there was an upper limit to the right border of the game, I hypothesise that "The Work" is ontop of said upper limit of the right side, and is maybe some kind of testing WIP are.

I have made a bunch of screenshots while trying not to die:

This feels like a "glitch heaven" A place where the game basicly keeps its memory/data overflow. Some examples are the "far lands" in minecraft or any other free roaming game that generates potentially infinite amounts of ♥♥♥♥, eventually, the limits get reached and you get overflow. To me "the work" is some random level name in the spaghetti code the dev never removed mixed in with some random assets (that can get color-changed randomly) in a great big nonsensical pile.

Verikristalli is Finnish for "blood crystal" if that means anything.

If you shoot out the wooden bridge in the snowy wastelands and jump down the chasm underneath, its a shortcut to "the vault", the 5th area of the game if you progress normally

Nice, I've been there via the bridge route, but never the normal way :P
I keep getting distracted with the overworld and alternative dungeons.
