would also fix deltas and make rivers not look like thisSimilar to what spaceguy is saying, could canyons/rivers look like this anytime soon?
Definitely would be way too hard since this simulator is based on realism. You'd need to understand the complex processes of evolution and create an algorithm for it, which I doubt is possible.so Im not saying i want creatures on a planet but what about creatures in the Info panel or will that be too much
You have to consider that Earth is home to maybe billions of creatures, which would mean that such a tab would probably fill many millions of pages at best.
Do you mean like "Planet-name, a warm terra, has 54% of its surface covered by water, 37% covered by land, and 9% covered by ice"?
The TODO list states that is implemented already, and it already generates galactic voids. However the procedural galactic clusters are not as dense as known galactic clusters.
yes that is what i mean!
I'd rather they add new universes with different laws of physics inside Kerr black holes (ones where we can set parameters like the speed of light and the alpha fine structure constant ourselves and create new dimensions- I run a screensaver that can simulate anywhere from 4 spatial dimensions all the way up to 11.) Being able to simulate a second dimension of time would allow nested parallel time lines- but that may be beyond the scope of what we can do right now- I've been asking the developers at SN to do some of this stuff too as well as model what a Big Bounce would be like with a cyclic universe in the cosmic microwave background).halowraith1, yes and maybe even close the universe so you can fly off in one direction and come back to where you left from.
How about simulating something like a tropical rain forest or a coral reef on the surface of a planet? Or how about simulating the processes of evolution, with large animals becoming extinct by mass extinction events followed by smaller animals. We could just use the Earth as a model and tweak things a little based on temperature and length of day and see what the computer can come up with.
No, galactic superclusters and supervoids are already modeled in SN so it should be possible here also.Thanks for the replies. here are some other suggestions
1. For Terra and Titans, how bout we have a water/land/ice ration on in the info screen?
2. Rocks are getting popular for suggestion but just saying it
3. Are galactic clusters and super galactic clusters too much?
