Quick Question Thread

I feel like events impacting this stuff might be too much, especially as this is only a brand-new feature…

It would make sense for Meteor Impact events to temporarily increase the amount of terrain chunks generated, along with the other compounds associated with the Meteor type in question. After all, parts of a planetary crust would be broken by a meteor impact and generate rocky debris.

Would that debris stay for long in the water column though?

Probably not very long.

When exactly is a post-meteor round supposed to take place after the impact?

Doesn’t the affect of Meteors only last one round, the round the meteor impact occurs? So, it would make sense for the temporary increase in terrain chunks to follow the same pattern as meteor event-induced compounds.

I guess so. How large should the boost be?

Even with the increased frequency of spawning for terrain, it should still be transversable, so maybe 10% increase of meteor terrain on Geologically Stable, 20% increase of meteor terrain on Geologically Normal, and 30% increase of meteor terrain on Geologically Active?

I guess that could work quite well.

Why was the Day/Night cycle setting changed so that it can no longer be adjusted by 2 seconds?

What is the minimum step on it now?

2 Likes

It is now 30 seconds.

Maybe such a small time step caused some problems?

It was probably an accidental change when the GUI was being redone for it, and no one noticed and no one has complained (or at least had complained before now).

This unintended downgrade is going to be reverted now, right?

Not unless someone actually makes a PR.

Are ice terrain (immovable) chunks perhaps planned for the shelfs and the glaciated patchs?

Before I waste any more time re re reformatting and editing, I am just going to ask.

If in late February or so, someone were to have lets say 6 or so posts worth of Underwater Civ essay, would you prefer:
A. A single sextuple+ post
B. Seven + separate β€œTopics”, with one linking the others in order:
B1. posted all at once
B2. posted one at time, with the next ready to go as soon as you’ve finished reading/approving the previous

So they all are 32k characters in length? If they are all content and no fluff, I’ve said before that if you hit the post length limit then you can post multiple times in a row.

Absolutely not this. Anything is better than this. I’d consider it spamming to open 7 simultaneous topics on the same subject.

All at once would be better because I doubt a single post would be comprehensive from start to finish.

Are you sure you have viable scientific articles linked to everything in there? Because if not, then your effort may all go to waste due to the UC discussion requirements needing the absolute maximum of evidence for their (unproven) viability to go industrial+.
