could you add planet-like rendering like that which is descriped in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztAg643gJBA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joFWr3JzBOI

AFAIK this is not a true planet, it's a torus topology. This is way too specific and requires a different terrain and rendering system, because the way data is interpreted differs in every logic (even if similar). It is a hack originally designed for worlds made of cubes only (there is no good reason to do this on smooth terrain). This engine focuses exclusively on "normal" world topology. I have no plans to "just add" something like this, because it affects every area of the engine for a niche feature.

Normal planets are possible with smooth terrain.
