Oh shit, that's really smart! Thank you for this, I'm definitely going to use that! And thank you for the help with the rosestones back then as well, it's been super useful. A whole secondary instinct-scent language will be super fun to work with, I can't wait to use it!
>>25992442
I actually didn't know that, but that's pretty neat!
>>25992470
Happy to help! I'm thankful for you asking all these questions, it really helps me flesh out things I haven't really thought about.

>>25992512
nice story anon, thanks for the read
>bread dogs bark is "pan"
kek, thats cute

>>25992605
Hopefully this story gives you some ideas for characters on your end. I like the idea of Saplings being a little mischevious like the Fae.

>>25992551
Hey Roseboro. How dem dragons coming along. I've seen the /rose/ thread back recently but I was thinking why TF would you not want to take control of dragons.

Sanalites, Im pretty sure weve discussed this before, but Ive already forgotten; how long are the diplomats planning on hanging out in /uuu/?

>>25992694
Ours are gonna stay for a while until freaky shit happens and we might run away. And if some of our people go missing we will make WARanon proud. Risuner btw

>>25992694
The plan is to camp on the border of the forest. Then wait for Saplings arrive to guide Sanalites to a meeting space. We'll have a conversation and share ice-cream sammies (vanilla and chocomint). Then leave. The plan is to stay no longer than a day.

>>25992685
Honestly /rose/ and /OBSY/ have been flip flopping quite a bit so at this point I'm adding the dragoons and pentomos no matter what. Even if we convert back to /rose/ fully, they're staying as remnants of when we were /OBSY/ because I've put too much fucking effort into this.
Also dragoons probably at the end of the week at the latest. I've been trying to finish the drawings for them, because I want a visual representation alongside my written work. Pentomos are just going to be small refugees that work as a lower class in order to live somewhere where they won't get raped every three posts.

>>25992551
>Happy to help!
The pleasure is mine! Worldbuilding is basically just coming up with questions and answers, when you get down to it.
>>25992975
This is the natural order of the universe.

You know I don't think I realized until I had to plan for a ttrpg last minute how much /vtwbg/ has actually made me better at setting up lore.

>>25992741
For the nth time Risuner: saplings won't do anything to you; crime is essentially non-existent in /uuu/. But if one of you nut gobblers ignores the warnings and decides to go into the deeper forests, were not liable for what happens! What do you want us to do, extradite a tree?

Aight, it's here, new chapter of the /morig/ schizo raid. Thanks again to Rosebud for answering my endless questions.
https://rentry.org/cultural-exchange#chapter-9

>>25994774
I forget that schizos can be just as bad if not worse than /meat/heads when it comes to cruelty. At least /meat/heads strike with some kind of motive and will give you a relatively quick death
I'm not quite sure what the Flower Heads are but I'm thinking its either a reference to something I didn't catch or will be elaborated later on Anyways, great chapter as always anon!

>>25995938
Kek, yeah, if I'll give one thing to /meat/, it's that a lot of their heresy is goal-oriented or utilitarian in nature (though not all of it). Schizos live in the moment, following their base urges... Well, most of them at least.
Hmm porcine faces, flowers on heads... My only hint is, this isn't meant to be a mystery to the reader, check out the /rose/ biology rentries, they're really cool. Thanks anon, I appreciate it!

>>25994774
Sorry for taking so long to respond, I've been reading it over and over and I didn't realize it had been half an hour already. The main thing I have to say is that this is SO. FUCKING. GOOD.
It's basically everything I wanted it to be and then some. This is fantastic, I'm genuinely so happy and thankful for you writing this. The ferocity, the emotion, it's PERFECT. I love it, I really do. Thank you for the read. I'm going to read it a few more times later.

>>25996363
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! Rosebuta seem to have a lot of emotional depth to them,the Deadbeats alternate between stoicism and menhera rage instead in comparison. I tried to represent that. The next chapter will probably be a lot of interviews, debriefings, and attempts to communicate.

So here's a philisophical question: If humans can go back in time to interact with our monke ancestors should we do it? I know there's a yes or no answer in regards to time travel. However the actual answer is "should we?" First we must ask ourselves how did humans become the apex predators of Terra. The answer is a long one. Humans with their brains learned to control their environments which also controlled the evolution of plants and animals that live in the environment. Even the ability to create fire from sticks and stones can dramatically change an environment. As controlled fire allows humans to hunt in the cold and build homes anywhere.

Therefore if a human were to live in the same time period with our monke ancestors then we would change the evolution our ancestors by building fire and homes around fire. Our ancestors do not have the brains to handle fire to compete with humans. Therefore their hunting grounds, and therefore path of evolution, will change. This is a question that all spaceman pioneers have to ask when they move into an inhabitable world regardless if that world has civilizations or not.

>>25997710
>>25992365
I forgot to anchor. While it is not a long entry it is a very important one for Sanalites to remember.

>>25997710
Ah, so Sanalites don't want to make us evolutionarily retarded by not interfering with our natural evolution? That's fair and understandable, however, whose to say that natural selection won't naturally express the best possible genes if genetic mingling is allowed? If we went back in time and fucked our ancient caveman ancestors, our intelligent descendants would naturally favor genes that would mean their survival in whatever environment and those genes would lead to a faster natural evolution of favorable genes as opposed to random genetics. So, instead of abstaining from interaction with species not yet up to your level of technology you should fuck squirrels

>>25998254
While fucking your monke ancestors may sound like you're speeding up evolution in practice it doesn't work. We're talking about a million years apart in evolution. Your ancestors and you would be so disimilar in genetics that it'd be like humans fucking a chimpanzee. They maybe 90% genetically similar but they still can't breed. That said you may make some really close friends that way. But you'll also piss off a lot of males who need females to breed.

How is bathing culture in your countries? Do you have shared public bath houses or do you skinny dip in the river to get clean?

>>26003627
Being on the Ring of Fire, our natural hotsprings are to die for

>>26003711
/nasa/ has hot pools. They technically aren't baths but they're similar. First you have to clean yourself in a shower. Then you can lay in the hot pool to relax. There is a dress code where women and men have to wear swimsuits at minimum. The pool is mostly for theraputic relaxation and socializing.

>>26003711
don't look now, but there's a chicken in your bathwater

>>26005192
It's fine, that's where all the flavour comes from.

>>26006199
If the water is hot enough to boil chicken broth then its hot enough to boil human broth. Unless we're talking about another kind of flavor.

It took a long time to find a decent sanaluna pic, nanora (desu, I really like the Himerocket, though)

Luknight Expedition to /nasa/, Entry #3

We've been invited outside of the bunker as hostilities have died down, nanora. Our sanallite host is a wonder with holograms, I've heard, but I regret to have not caught his name.

I've informed him of the Luknight tradition of the Festival of the Sheep, and how we parade livestock and eat lots of milky treats out in the Luknight hamlets. A wonderful sanallite baker supposedly resides in this Kirby village, nanora. Perhaps this festival is still salvageable, nanora.

Loyalty to Luna, Sir Lanuna Passionfruit

im feeling some kind of mood bois.

>>26006518
Unfortunately /nasa/ does not have any animals to parade around town. We can make parading virtual animals out of holograms. Hell we can make the virtual animals dance and play instruments. As for our head baker, he's currently on a diplomatic mission to /uuu/. That said you will love his students. They are artists who make artwork out of pastries. We have one student make "Watamelons" (not to be confused with real Watamelons), which are watermelon treats shaped to look like Watame. A lot of students are inspired to cook sheep-like pastries for the festival. As for activities, do you have any particular games in mind? We can make both physical and augmented reality games. /nasa/ currently has a lot of stored equipment for the Council Aniversarry festival like carnival games. We can repurpose some of those.

>>26006518
Lunaitos in a strange land take it upon themselves to save the sheep festival, that would make a good movie...
Lunaito, I'm starting to think of the trip to Himehearth for the /morig/ joint expedition. What is banditry like in those lands?

>>26007136
Sunburnt? Sweaty? Got sand in your crevices?

>>26007817
Don't forget that these "aliens" from another world want to help build to celebrate the Festival of Sheep alongside Luknights the best they can. Granted it won't be exactly like the festivals at home. But the sentiment is there. Its an opportunity for Luknights to teach Sanalites about their culture. Also Sanalites are kinda lazy. So they'll take any festival they can get.

>>26007136
Chumbuds may look like children but at least they're cute. To think the little kid is 30 years old and mother of 9 children.

>>26007868
kek. i was gonna say horny. anyway im all burnt out today so tomorrow ill get to projects

>>26007817
Bandits in the kingdom are a mix of foreign bandit groups with bitter Lumans who couldn't pass their examinations for their given field of knighthood. Himehearth is known for lumber and woodcraft, so they are probably after sugar and intricate woodcraft, in addition to gold.

>>26007343
Festival specific games include bucking bronco with a Luboar and Lu-hen racing, alongside some foreign-inspired games. Watamates of course brought Rock Paper Scissors over. There's also a common game that originated from the Haatons; Luknights take a large round piece of Luboar meat and throw it as far as they can, with the farthest being the winner.

This will be a dream project down the line in 20-40 years. I can imagine /nasa/ building a "temple" for Sana. Except the temple is actually a massive space-themed amusement park.

>>26009883
If you can go over the rules of these games then Sanalites will try their best to recreate them. Also our engineer has an idea for a game with rock-paper-scissors.

>>26009883
>Bandits in the kingdom
Got it, thank you.
Finally, an excuse for a fight scene.
Is there anything you'd like to note on Lunaito fighting styles and tactics beyond what is already in the lore?

>>25986053
You know what, I changed my mind, fuck Inkarnate. Saved a backup yesterday, didn't even touch it, says it's a wrong file format or damaged. LIKE WHAT THE FUCK FIX YOUR PROGRAM!! So I won't be messing in it to set new points of interest and region borders, I'll just provide feedback here.

1: If Kirby village is the pod village, then I see no reason for it to be anywhere but at the side of Lamington. We have greenhouses anyway, so it doesn't have to be in a warner climate, and setting it that far south would just make it troublesome to transport food back. And if we go with that, it should just be named Lamington imo, since it would eventually become our capital. We can use the name Kirby village for something else later down the line, like the logging settlement, which I intentionally left unnamed.

2:For the recourse spots, I have no complaints, they are just prospects afterall, just remember that our current sphere of unfluence extends through less than 10% of our territories. A little into the hills behind Lamington, down to the logging settlement, and circling back up through the bogs. Where we currently are, we would have no knowledge of those resource spots, aside from maybe coal. Specially that shoal spot. We wouldn't have clear acces to that for decades to come.
As for the mountain range on /rrat/ border, aside from knowing there are mountains there, we would also have no idea there is iron under them. Again, there is ~5k of us, and we spent most of our time here battling for our lives, just trying to survive. Exploring for resource points just wasn't on the menu. As small as it may look here, if we are still going with the similar-to-earth scale, we would be about the size of Poland or even bigger(hell, looking at the two maps side by side, we might even be slightly smaller than Alaska), so it's not like everything is in our back garden.
Main reason I left the north empty was because we just haven't explored it yet, while for the south we at least know there are mountains and taiga forests on our borders with /rrat/ and /uuu/ respectively.

>>26012614
The exploration can be done by probes via drones. We use drones all the time on other planets to probe resources so why can't it be done here? As for resources they're just general guesses where I would think they would be. Not where Sanalites actually knows. Shale isn't happening for 25 years even if we do get lucky finding a well. As for Kirby Village its can be retconned into an outpost more than the central farming hub. There's pods around the station as well as Kirby village. Both station and village have their own farms. Industrial farming is more around the station. Kirby village is more subsistence farming to feed the locals. Also Kirby Village can be where our experimental crops are that we cross breed and test for better survivability in the wild. So is can be general research hub and military outpost.

>>26011076
>>25992365

Lunaitos vary in the weapons they carry, but typically train heavily in one weapon in particular. For this expedition, at least, Citrora's forces are 5 Luknights each of 4 types:

Greatsword Luknights are trained as defensive heavies for protecting vulnerable ranged forces, but have knowledge of a bit more aggressive tactics, and a dagger for tricky situations. Citrora in particular uses a custom greatsword that weighs a bit less than the standard but also allows her to swing more fluidly. Being in her position, she is also given Luna chuubanite-lining in her armor. When her armor is struck, the weapon that struck it gets dulled by candification on it's outermost layers. The lining is prevented from candifying the rest of the armor by a special alloy that is a secret to only the loyal of Forge-naitos.

Mace Luknights are trained as offensive, quick strike forces to shock enemy forces and break their ranks. Their armor is light but large, and they care twin maces and twin bucklers on their arms. Some may trade in their second mace for a large shield.

Shortsword and Dagger Luknights are trained to work in tandem with Mace Luknights, picking off disoriented foes. Their armor is similarly light, but have more plating to cover their weak points.

Crossbow Luknights are trained archers. Their armor is concentrated in the front, and typically station behind defensive forces. Luknight crossbow bolts are sharpened, hardened sugar around a metal or wooden base.

We will be easy to defeat and burn down and enslave, I promise! Also, we have like no established allies (I think?) so there is no fear of retaliation. Please. Attack us.

Don't worry deadbeat bro, we'll make sure that you won't be included in the massacre. Some squirrels will just go missing is all, the north is a dangerous place afterall...

Risuners just want cool ass magic power shit to make their magic forest better. Usually this is achieved by gemstone magic in some way but in the risuner mind they see a way to potentially have powers beyond gemstone magic. Same with /rose/

>>26030029
You wouldn't know me, I'm barely in the top 450 and I've never dickposted.

>>26029102
But really, for me it helps to think of the /who/ as "Republik" and whatever /nasfaqq/ is as "Republic". A real wonder how much a single letter can do.

>>26030565
A lot of /who/ vocabulary is French-styled, calling it the "République" would work nicely.

>>26030565
/nasfaqg/ also includes the "Serene" in front of the "Republic" most of the time

>>26029102
>Repwhoblic
Uh... anyways, /nasfaqg/ is the serene republic because venice, I've always just referred to /who/ in universe as "the Republic".
Officially it has about 4 names which all mean Republic Owl. Respublika Filin in russian, République Hibou in french, and Kyōwakoku washimimizuku in moon runes.
/who/ = the Republic
/nasfaqg/ = the Serene Republic.

>>26027084
Not quite, when I envision /ag/ chuubanite, I don't envision chuubanite that makes people fat. Instead, I envision chuubanite that works with the flow of a naturally optimized people, fat is simply the excess of energy, the result of abundance and a sign of grand success in a nation. /ag/ chuubanite should set the stage for that excess, the more energy needed in an environment, the greater the output throughout the environment. It wont just be people, fruits, trees, and animals would all be affected by this abundance and excess. They'd grow bigger and in turn lead those that feast on them to grow bigger as well.
Architecture, as /ag/ practices it, is the crafting of this excess and abundance into a form that can continue this process of exponential growth, be that by literal weight gain or by repeated pregnancy to bring more into the world than what was before. It is for this reason that when I think of /ag/ chuubanite, I sometimes envision its refinement as a tower of flowing energy, spreading through other cores in a circuit of plentiful abundance. I'll need to rough some of these ideas out but that's the basis.

>>26040623
When I think of fat people I think of a corrupt and dying nation. But that's just me.

I'm watching the /vod/ of Sana's stream. Architects will love Sana.

>>26033118
hey i've got a question, if a risuner from an expeditionary party were to get stabbed by a civilian and consequently healed up in the foreign land, would the response still be that of aggresiveness from the risuner tribes? This is important.

>>26044375
If this happened in /nasa/ and the civilian is found guilty. Then we will strip him of all of his technology and clothing and exile him outside the station. There angry Risuners can rape him to death if they wish.

>>26033118
In the same vein as >>26044375, how would the nation of /risu/ react if a foreign visitor was attacked by another foreign power whilst they were staying in /risu/?

I just hope /uuu/ accepts the ice cream sammies as an apology and we can go back to being friends. Also I hope /uuu/ doesn't ban Sanalites from crossing their forest to /who/. Winter is coming. Which means the oceans will freeze. So we need a lanfmd route to deliver trade goods to our warehouse in /who/.

>>26044375
Risuners would demand justice be brought upon the said civilian with however they do shit. Whether it be execution or jail time or whatever.
>>26044694
None of the risuners business but both of the powers at hand or at least the part that's involved in a certain area will be BTFO to not escalate it. Risuners don't need a war happening on the beaches.
Also phoneposting but I am the risuner that makes all the captains logs.

>>26046152
As long as Risuners arrive in peace then we will take care of our Risuner guests. Just remember to follow the rules and keep your pants on.

Page 10 bump.

>>26045202
>Sanalites from crossing their forest to /who/
As far as I see it, Sanalites have 3 options in this regard:
-Cut across the thin strip of /uuu/ that touches /rrat/ (Pro: short time inside /uuu/; Con: Very mountainous terrain; unsure if vehicles will be able to make it all the way through)
-Trek through in-land /uuu/ (Pro: smoother terrain; Con: More time in /uuu/, possibility of running into elder saplings, or other forest beings)
-Hire Saplings to guide your caravans through parts of the forest (Pro: no forest dwellers will interfere, and Saplings know where our chuubanite effects are less dense; Con: we would require some sort of compensation)

>>26046458
>And keep your pants on
Bold of you to assume risuners wear pants. I'll have to do a thing about clothing soon. Never really specified

>>26048343
/rrat/ does have border checkpoints for trade in the mountains from what we were talking back when the /rrat/ representative was around but it does fall in with what you've mentioned in the first point

>>26048555
Fine. Keep your loin cloths on unga bungas!

>>26048343
I have another idea. What if /nasa/ can cooperate with Saplings to make sun powered guideposts that follow a trail between /nasa/ and /who/? The guideposts would have signs that show you where to go. And they will light up at night or in the fog. So you can follow the lights on the outskirts of the forest. If we have to go through /rrat/ instead then /nasa/ and /who/ may just have to dig a tunnel through the mountain.

alright, finally unbanned

first off, apologies to the blender anon for our thread breaking containment. i just wanted to show off the 3d onobot to the thread, did not expect that to happen

>>26049023
What happened?
Reminds me, I wanted to make a running animation for that Onobot.

i'm the one who made the bot and i haven't seen anything bad, unless i'm obscenely dumb

>>26049077
someone from the thread posted the picrel on twitter, while maybe not the biggest thing it still is kidn of a containment break so i at least wanted to say sorry but i couldn't till now since i had a ban due to beign retarded and posting an uncropped spicy image instead of the cropped one

>>26049302
what's wrong with that? sure the image originated here but that doesn't matter, lumi liked it anyways. i even provided her with a 4k res render after the fact

>>26049440
if you are fine with it than i got nothing more to add to it

>>26049302
Sorry about your ban. I'm looking at where /vrt/ is compared to /nasa/. If /nasa/ manages to build trans-continental sea planes or even diesel transport ships then we might be able to trade with /vrt/. Sadly right now /nasa/ is stuck inside its territory for two generations.

>>26049693
You could try conducting trade at the embassy in the /who/ port

>>26049693
meh it happens, was only 3 days and my own stupidity. was just stupid timing since i was not sure if blender anon is truly cool with the pic psoted on twitter or not. not everyone wants their stuff from /here/ posted outside of it and even less by 3rd parties

i mean if you manage to establish a port, even just a basic one, we got no problems shipping stuff to you for trading

>>26049849
Technically /nasa/ can use /who/'s port for trade right now. We'll probably use /who/'s port for most of our imports because the north sea gets frosted with ice in the winter. Also no matter how you look at it the port will be miles away from the station. So there's going to be at least 5-10 days to travel between port and station depending on weather.

>>26050762
if you use /who/'s port than trade is no issue, we got a port office over there ourselves for easy trade with them, so you can basicly order what you want from there.

you might even get to see our awesome battle blimp once its built and our diplomat starts using it as a taxi over there.

>>26050762
>>26050952
You could let the postal office set up an office in one of /nasa/'s external villages for ease of logistics so you may not worry too much. They're used to all kinds of situations and always do the job right.

I'm still a bit turned off from the weird shit they've done to war, but maybe it can be modded too.

>>26052375
I haven't been following the dev logs closely, what did they fuck with?

>>26052476
You don't manage units directly now, it's done through a "fronts" system where you assign generals and units to and manage logistics, or so I vaguely remember.

>>26052741
Hmm, I can see the logic in that, but I guess it's all about implementation and how it plays. I should go check the dev log about it.

>>26051796

Actually got some writing done today! I might end up breaking this story up into two parts. Partially because of how long its getting (idk what length stories people here like to read), and partially because if sanalite anon wants me to do some writing for the /nasa/ /uuu// meeting, I dont want to be dead in the middle of this when switching over to that.
Now to figure out how rentry works...

>>26056873
To make things easier for the /uuu/-/nasa/ meeting I suggest writing about your characters first before the meeting. Then we'll trade off writing the interaction from the perspective of our characters.

Do Saplings like tea? If so then how do Saplings boil their water without fire?

>>26058865
Do saplings have a "no fire" thing? That would restrict their development pretty significantly.

>>26058865
Who said we didnt have fire? We love tea!

>>26058865
/meat/ probably likes bonestew, but imagine saplings cutting off their leaves, roots, or bark and boiling it in hot water.

>>26059059
we grow the tea leaves in the forest, we dont have to rip them off of our own bodies...

At long last, we have it anons... We've got all the continents. This feeling of completeness. Nature is healing.

>>26058948
>>26059015
Well I was thinking about how Saplings could use chuubanite crystal plants to heat their water if they don't have any fire.

>>26059123
so you have a slave class. still, what do you think saplings would taste like? hypothetically speaking, of course.

>>26059257
>Sapling doing agriculture is chattel slavery
Kek

>>26059257
I... I actually dont think I can even talk to /meat/heads...

>>26059257
do saplings grow fruit on their bodies? would it hurt to take them off?

>>26059395
Fun fact! Sapling periods are fruits growing from their antlers.

>>26059395
some more fully metamorphized saplings can; as long as the fruit is ripe and ready to come off it would only be like plucking a hair

>>26059380
no offense, just curious. i said it was just hypothetical.

>>26052928
What risuners could potentially have

>>26059574
They could fuck Slaanesh into existence.

>>26059197
nah, our forests are large enough and grow fast enough that trees and other flora shed their leaves and branches often and naturally enough that we have firewood for cooking; we do try not to use it for leisure or lighting though

>>26041989
You apply the foolishness of modern depravity to the divine primeval nature of architecture

So I just thought up something called a "kettleplant". Kettleplants are small shrub-like plants that have exposed chuubanite crystals wrapped around their branches that are woven into a teapot. The branches are water tight. So no water will drip. How the plant works is you pour spring water into the kettleplant's bowl. Then the kettleplant vibrates, which causes the chuubanite crystals to heat up. The heat boils the water. Once the water is boiled you can put the tea inside of the kettleplant. The kettleplant knows what temperature to warm the tea. If not the Saplings can tell the kettleplant how hot to make the water with their roots. Once the tea is done steeping you pour the kettleplant like a tea pot. Just a thought.

No. I just have a shit ISP in rural burgerland.

>>26060030
either way, thanks for your input anon; for now I just wanna keep our /uuu/ chuubanite's effects in a single theme (plant growth, genetic effects); adding heat effects might introduce too much right now
theres already been wordy discussions the last few threads about chuubanite "science" and I really dont want to invite that into /uuu/ for now

>>26060213
That's okay. I just had an idea about making bushes that look like cute tea pots.

Another question for /uuu/. What's your thoughts about >>26048777 where we use lighted guideposts to outline the road between /nasa/ and /who/?

>>26061690
My bad, I forgot to answer earlier.
We could work that out I think, but it'd be a whole thing.
First off, the posts would need to be extremely sturdy and durable to deal with all of the plant growth that would go on around them.
Second, elder saplings would have to mark each of them with special spores to keep the forest from overgrowing on top of them and wildlife from breaking them.
Then, since they're solar-powered, we'd have to plan out a path through the forest that gets sufficient sunlight down to their level (the specs would have to come from your end)
Finally, we still wouldnt be able to guarantee any safety for travelers. While we can make a "best known safe path" and place the spores, the woods are still wild. Some creatures still roam wherever they will, and while very rare, not all of them are friendly to outsiders (or even saplings, in even more rare cases).

>>26062397
Sometimes saplings just start throwing rocks at your fishing boat

>>26062397
Its never guaranteed the guide posts will keep travelers from getting lost. For sunlight I was thinking the posts can be on the forest's edge. On the edge of the woods is where I was thinking /nasa/ and /who/ can have our road. Also the forest's edge would be clear of a lot of brush. So wagons carrying goods shouldn't have too much trouble. As for danger in the forest that's why Sanalites always carry a gun.

>>26062397
Other sapling here, might I suggest that saplings or the greater will of the forest purposefully plant bioluminescent moss or flowers in order to create a guiding path or indicate a safe area since we're expecting visitors? Could create less obstructive paths/constructs.

>>25992390
New (first?) /uuu/ story. Draft 1 of part 1 of 2.
https://rentry.org/2mm6g
Bits of lore in there, like some "powers" saplings have, and what they do for fun/sport.

Feedback is welcome since its my first story post here; also if any other saplings have issues with the lore hints, please let me know.

>>26063763
That could work. It really depends on how much light you can breed the moss and flowers to give off. /nasa/ and /who/ could still make the guideposts to put the glowmoss on.

>>26063763
Thats a pretty good idea sapling. For sure something we should bring up during the talks with the sanalite diplomats.

Only downside I can see from a spooky story perspective imagine if some creatures of the forest learned that sanalites trust certain colors of bioluminescence. Then they modify themselves to mimic that and lead travelers astray... I just finished writing so Im hyped up on the spooky forest creative thing rn. If we let the Sanalites place their own posts, they would probably have RFIDs or something they could use to very the guide though.

>>26063932
I enjoyed it anon! I liked reading more about those "reading the forest" skills, makes them really ideal trackers in their environment.

>>26039448
Don't get your hopes up, most in the Republic are very plain with forgettable faces, that and the face covers too, means that you won't really get a good look at anyone's face anyways, but it does make the job of the RID very easy. On that note, how would the emigrant sanallite manage the systems of their suit to mantain themselves alive and how well would he adapt to the culture of the Republic?

>>26064169
The glow of Safety Moss can be imitated by small mushrooms with poisonous spores that use confused victims' bodies to proliferate themselves.
While mild exposure can lead to minor pulmonary irritation, following the paths of "False Hope" mushrooms will only lead you to more and more, and eventually, your breathing will continuously become more difficult until you fall unconscious and die.
The only way to avoid this fate is to carefully observe the plant glowing as something like a cluster of these small mushrooms at first glance can easily be mistaken for Safety Moss.

>>26065148
Compare those mushrooms to the Safety Moss pictured here.

>>26063932

How do saplings reproduce? Do they produce seeds of other saplings? Also, Lunaitos want to know how to meet saplings safely, nanora.

>>26064522
The immigrant wouldn't be allowed to take his space suit. So he will have to use the /meat/ priestess's tattoos to keep him alive. Maintenance is as simple as re-applying chuubanite to the ink tattoos about once per year. After about five years the immigrant should be mostly immune to atmosphere allergens. And if he isn't then the reactions will not be deadly. He'll have to make a lot of sacrifices to live in /who/. But since he's an exile those sacrifices are made for him. If the guy's inventive then he'll figure out how to design better tools for the bakery.

>>26064169
>>26065220
>>26065148
Then it might be best to stick with artificial lights. I have an idea about using chuubanite as a light bulb powered by a small solar panel.

>>26065593
Yeah this is interesting, is there a set of human saplings that reproduces normally, do non-human saplings reproduce with each other? If so, then is the offspring of non-human saplings human?

>>26065593
Well the obvious advice when talking to saplings is never wave deforestation around like its your dick.

>>26065593
Peck a berry growing on their branches directly as a sign of affection.

>>26064169
I've been thinking on the Republic's hunters and traders bringing with them lead amulets that slow or stop the forest's effect on living beings. It would also make them far more likely to get lead poisoning!

>>26064522
Also about how "plain" your women looks is completely lost on Sanalites. Sanalites are used to our women looking like gyaru bombshells that seeing /who/'s "plain" women is exotic to them. Despite being plain the woman look to have genuine personalities and not bouncy "Tik Tok" behavior. Also Sanalights have to be expressive in their body language because its hard to convey emotions wearing a space helmet half the time.

I wonder how's the underwater ecology. Perhaps we can see some real sea monsters like water dragons or leviathans.

>>26068808
/wah/ could make really cool use of this if they had a rep

>>26068808
There's certainly plenty of space for them. /morig/ floated some ideas for sea monsters in the East Holosea.

>Sea dragons are like plessiosaurs.
>Sea dragons may sound scary but they are in fact curious creatures.
>Sea dragons swim up behind boats to rock them with their horns.
>Sometimes sea dragons swim next to boats and stick their heads out.
>This is annoying to fishermen because sea dragons are known to steal fish that fall off of boats.
>Sometimes sea dragons swim around /ggg/ to play with chumbuds.
>Sea dragons are even known to let friendly humans they know pet them.
>Sea dragons eat mostly smaller fish but are known to eat sharks, giant squids, seals, sea lions, dolphins, whales, and sometimes humans that piss them off.

Thoughts? I can always make them sea horses.

>>26069659
They sound fun! Kinda sound like reptilian dolphins. We could also have sea horses. Plenty of space in the oceanic food chain.

>>26069806
>Chumbuds ride giant sea-horses like calvalry.
Could be fun.

What are orisongs in Vitubia?

>>26070577
In /morig/, they're probably the closest thing we'd have to religious texts. The songs come to the Goddess Faithful from Mori, and the lyrics carry lessons.

>>26070001
Had to think. On one hand sea-horses would be shit for combat. On the other hand riding sea-horses could be like bull riding. You ride them to see how long you stay on. Underwater rodeos sound fun.

I had a bunch of sculpts in my backup collection. It's not organized at all, so just ask if you have any questions. I think that's all the textures you need. baked_terrain is the shader to render the planet from textures, procedural_terrain is to generate the procedural textures.

>>26071413
I really want for us to just react like pic related when they make advancements if for nothing else than to see them melt when they realize their grand voyage for sex was in vain. We already have our robosans anyway, what else would we need?

I'm tempted to write smut with Charlie and identical twin Risuner girls he was nice to back in /hlgg/. They boarded one of the tri-fleet ships to find Charlie in /nasa/. They are determined to crack the giant nut.

>>26071672
what's up with the stray value node

>>26072557
Idk driven value nodes are like mushrooms in my shaders, they grow in random places and no one knows why.
Kek I think it was an attempt at making the clouds move.

So depending on how things go Sanalites might be successful with negotiating a road through /uuu/ to /who/. However negotiating roads is for later. The purpose of Sanalites visiting Saplings this time is to 1) issue a public apology, 2) share with Saplings some of /nasa/'s delicacies and culture, and 3) have Saplings interview Sherry who was Delilah the baby mammoth's nurse. We will talk about roads another time. We will need Hooman diplomats present in the conversation as well when the time comes.

>>26072920
Still don't see why we need to apologise for anything, but whatever

>>26072920
Alright then

>>26072812
i'm gonna be honest i've never dealt with shared blender files this complex so i've just been manually sorting the render nodes visually by hand for the past half hour

>>26073540
Ah, I'm sorry, I guess there's a lot going on in there. The procedural material especially, at least in the baked material most of the stuff is hidden in a node. Is there something specific you wanna do? So I can point you in the right direction.

>>26073634
my first question is why everything is purple

>>26073696
as in

>>26073696
>>26073769
Possibilities:
You have a texture missing in baked_terrain, check the Image Texture nodes in that for one I forgot to send you
One of the objects is hiding the actual planet.
For looking at the planet, I'd disable all collections except Lights, Camera, and render.

>>26073071
Saplings are collectivists and do not understand individuality. At least from what they told me. To them one Sanalite speaking means that Sanalite speaks for the whole nation. We're going to clarify that.

>>26073106
I know Hoomans have a sketchy relationship with Saplings. I'm sure all three nations will find a way to help each other with this road. Somehow.

>>26073769
>>26073811
Ah, for one I forgot to send the cloud texture.
https://files.catbox.moe/8ecbt9.png
Also you probably have to manually retarget the Image Texture nodes to the images you download.

>>26074044
i was about to mention i didn't have a cloud map, getting picrel now. for the most part i was gonna make clouds using the weather information we have

>>26073845
I was thinking more of why do we have to apologise if all that was said was truth, if perhaps said harshly? Instead of "We are very sorry for the way that one Sanallite behaved, he does not represent the feelings of us all, btw we are still making a logging village like planed kthxhere'ssomesammiesbyebye!" we should just explain our stance on that specific matter, which is what they got pissy about in the first place, and that we hope for their understanding. Then the deal of growing fruit trees and bushes can go from there.

>>26073845
Do we though? The lore should reflect actual thread relationships and there are saplings that hang out in /who/ especially when Fauna isn't streaming.

>>26074279
Blame the government of cucks. Matilda is just going to read the letter and throw it away. She doesn't believe the government's bullshit either. She's actually pissed off at the government for lockdowns. For now Matilda's in charge. And negotiations will go Sana's way or the high way.

>>26073845
>>26074421
Yeah, saplings love us even if they seem to have a distorted and somewhat insulting image of us.

>>26074421
>>26074611
Maybe there's hope for the road after all.

>>26074212
Got it, that would be handy. The one I made is pretty much just random noises. How are you gonna make it? Procedural? Paint it?
If you're gonna paint it, I'd either paint it in the equirectangular format and then bake it to the final mesh, or paint it using blender's texture paint, so you don't have to worry about the seams.

>>26074724
Well in a now shelved lore, I wrote that /who/ has some logging and fur camps up north near the current /nasa/-/uuu/ border, during warmer months. Regardless if it was shelved it makes in-universe sense. So the road would likely be along that path that trappers and lumberjacks usually travel. Won't be as wide and well maintained as the usual trade route on the /uuu/-/who/ border but it should make both construction and negotiation easier.

>>26074813
procedural. this will be another episode of mine where i learn everything about it in a week

>>26074955
With some slag and tar we can make a pretty good road in the future. That said the road will have to be cleaned up to allow wagon transports. As long as the road is on the forest edge we should be able to place guideposts that get decent sunlight. We'll have to make lightbulbs out of chuubanite. It should work.

>>26075056
Aight, good luck then. This group of nodes in baked_terrain is what I used to generate my clouds, it might be useful as a learning resource, or something.

>>26074955
Or better yet, we can just make an temp alliance to claim the small stretch of land betwen our two countries. I see no downside to it, aside from the tree friends getting a little pissy again.

>>26075315
Why not? Payback for occupying a large portion of the Western coastline when they don't even have a wharf...

>>26075315
>>26075410
Last time I tried doing that I got shut down by most of the world community, in any case, if I were to take land it'd also be to take more of the coast line.

>>26075261
that was the first thing i shuffled around so i could better understand what i was looking at thankfully

>>26075460
Kek yeah I don't worry too much about readability as long as my brain can follow, sorry. That looks a lot better.

>>26075522
>opens "baked_terrain"
>mfw
anyways i'm going to bed

>>26075315
>>26075410
>>26075455
It also depends on how much /nasa/ would be dependent on hardwood from /uuu/. Taiga's not exactly full of hardwood trees.

>>26075752
Well, all of that can be acquired in large quantities the longer the fight goes on for. With your numbers and our tech, I am sure we can swiftly claim the part of /uuu/ that separates us. Since it is also outside of the range of forest's ability to metamorphise you into a Sapling, that area would make an excelent starting point to slowly and meticolously burn our way to the real goal: the Elder tree of Sleeping giants ridge. And once there, my dear Hooman, we have a bargaining chip. We get more forest to the north, and you get the coastline. Now doesn't that sound nice?

>>26076450
And now to put my foot down because Grand Directive.

>>26076450
I mean... If the sanallites want to start conquering, they can murder their way through the whole continent, the tech imbalance is immense. No one has anything to deal with the range and armor penetration of railguns. Thankfully, there is >>26076569 which is why /nasa/ was allowed its tech advantage in the first place.

Oh yea, should be mentioned all of this is purely for fun. I have no interest in wars for now.

But yea, if you ever want to put the Saplings in a tough spot, that Elder tree is probably the easiest target, Hoomans.

>>26076753
Elder trees probably have ways to defend themselves. They would in places with high chuubanite concentrations.

>>26076591
Sanallites don't have the logistical capability to wage offensive war considering they're worrying about starvation and other things i'm not remembering. Also the danger of the technology falling to the enemy hands.

>>26076785
Aha, but you forget we are a race of scholars and researchers. We have seen and documented more planets you probably know exist, and all that knowledge is stored safely in our station's databanks. And even if an answer to fell the Elder trees can't be found there, our researchers would probably froth at the mouth to dissect everything about them, specially this "Will of the forest" and the intrinsic connection all Saplings share. There are ways to sewer both of them, I can assure you. And once that is done, the once organised and limitless horde becomes just a splintered mass of confused (and burning, probably) tree friends.

>>26077344
>There are ways to sewer both of them, I can assure you.
You know, I don't think there is, actually. The whole point of a decentralized network is that there isn't a single point of failure. To destroy the network, you have to destroy every node.
Also, I don't believe you have anything on chuubanite in your databanks, since you were unfamiliar with the chuubanite meteorite Sana gave you. The functioning and mechanics of chuubanite is probably still a blind spot in your knowledge.

>>26077426
It's simple, just pollute the forest with enough plastic and oil. Surely there are no further long term consequences to the mass destruction of life that would happen.

>>26077506
oh god oh fuck anon

>>26076868
>>26076591
/nasa/ would be at a massive disadvantage if we were to wage offensive war with /uuu/. Even with CR-USTs and heavy artillery fuel is limited. Also out of the 5000 or so people we have less than 2200 are fighting fit. To overtake such territory would have to be one hell of a gurella operation.

There's also the lack of information about enemy tactics and units. /uuu/ would send the woods into a frenzy unleashing bears, wolves, lions, giant snakes, and other predators against us. Plus there's their own monster units like Ents that are literal walking trees. No gunshot can take an Ent down as they're practically bullet proof. We would need heavy firepower the likes of air-dropped bombs or heavy tank mortars to blow off enough of the Ent's body to stop them. There's also the spores of the forest which will clog our air-filters and choke us if we run out of oxygen. While the standard suit can absorb musket balls they're terrible at stopping arrows from heavy composite bows and crossbow bolts. We'll need armored suits for ground infantry to have a chance at fending off Sapling arrows.

On top of that the chuubanite in the forest trees have been confirmed to have electromagnetic fields that dusrupt radio communication and fuck with compasses. Spotter drones be impossible to fly in the forest. So infiltrating Sanalites will most likely fall into traps like carnivore weeds that grab and rip apart whatever prey steps on it. There's literal flowers that shoot poison barbs or spray acid. Also every single tree in the forest has the ability to "slap". Take cover behind a tree. Get slapped by the tree.

An offense in /uuu/ will mean heavy casualties and loss of vital equipment. Out of the 2200 soldiers: if we sent 1000 troopers unprepared then we will lose about 700 men. And half of our fighting force is women. Most women will stay behind at the station to defend it. And if we make Saplings our enemy then we will lose the land route to /who/.

Its better to have Saplings as a strong ally than to make them our enemy. I'd argue if Lammington falls then survivors can fall back to /uuu/ for safety.

>>25992365

Anchoring for military analysis.

>>26077506
>>26077533
5000 people's worth of trash is not enough to kill a forest in less than 20 years. And that trash is valueable resources to the colony because we lack the oil necessary to produce more plastic abundantly.

>>26077669
So orbital bombardment in a century or so it is!

>>26077669
Also, OH MY SANA you would think of attacking the Saplings? How could you? I feel like we have no need of such a warmonger in our ruling rank. Perhaps a hearing in front of the Council is in order?

>>26077865
I'm starting to think we should ask /moon/ and /pagi/ to put those aussies in their place. At least this one in particular.

>>26077865
/lofi/ and /moon/ will not take kindly to the destruction of a fifth of the continent. So we will have to be prepared for a full space battle. Also by then /infinity/, /morig/, Ame-Wat, /ahoy/ and other Holo nations could have space travel too. And they will make an alliance to destroy whatever orbital weapons we put out before they can fire. Perhaps if Starfleet pops through the dimensional wormhole and gives us full military support we may succeed in conquering the planet. However Starfleet (reddit/Discord) doesn't give a shit about /nasa/ (4chan). They wanted us to disappear for a while.

>>26077942
/nasa/ does military analysis with every nation it meets. Not just /uuu/, but /morig/ and /who/ as well. We assess our odds against other nations in an event of an existential threat or invasion. There's a reason why /nasa/'s main strategy is always deffense instead of offense. An offensive strike will cost us too many lives and arms. The only nation /nasa/ could probably win against on an offensive is /risu/. And even then we'll suffer heavy casualties because we lack the metal to make armored suits.

And shall I cite the Grand Directive. Section 113: Terrans shall not wage wars of conquest against native species of another world nor territory in space unless the Terran Federation and its colonies are under an existential threat that threatens our existence.

>>26078100
>/lofi/ and /moon/ will not take kindly to the destruction of a fifth of the continent.
Who decided that? You? Unless we get their reps here, you can't say shit, no offense.

>And they will make an alliance to destroy whatever orbital weapons we put out before they can fire.
See above.

>>26078431
Don't cite that shit to me, I was the fucker that wrote the Grand Directive in the first place. I know more about it than anyone else.

>>26078431
Why cling to the rules of a government which has clearly abandoned you? I say fight! Take all that could and should be yours. You have no need to be forced to struggle to survive, to hold back your own greatness. You have achieved so much, yet pointlessly forbid yourself from using it. This is as much a mistake as preventing yourself from walking for fear of falling down. Take full advantage of your gifts, conquer what could so easily be yours, and vanquish all who would foolishly stand in your way.

>>26078727
Then you know the directive better than I do. Unless the Saplings declare war to destroy /nasa/ and its people we cannot and should not wage war against them.

>>26078799
Even without the directive /nasa/ is not physically and mentally prepared for an offensive war at this time. Ask us again in two to three generations.

>>26078871
Hell, even if they do declare war, it is safe to assume that their "will of the forest" only extends as far as the forest proper, so they are basically prisoners in their own little piece of land. Also, again, see >>26076650

>>26078799
Sorry WARanon, this time really was just some late night banter at the gentlemen's club with some Hooman friends, fueled by some delicious whiskey might I add.

>>26078966
>>26078988
j-just a little war.... please?

>>26078988
I do like these banters because it forces me to come up with lore on the spot. I'm gonna miss you when you become a Sapling. Also we got new speculative biology with sea dragons.

>>26079150
Post some robutt and I might consider it.

>>26079227
Welp, no more banters then, gotcha. Hate forcing people to make lore on the spot, leads to hasty entries and loss of general identity.

Also, you can bet your ass it is not in my stars to become a sapling. Not at all, sir.

Also also, yea I saw that when I skimmed through the thread, gotta go back and reread it.

>>26079312
There's probably giant iron-shelled crabs and lobsters too angry to die in the /morig/ waters.

>>26079240
I'll even settle for a skirmish!

>>26079312
So you gonna write all 251 rules in the Grand Directive?

>>26079427
I'll see what I can do when the squirrels arrive.

>>26079493
Are you gonna force me to?

>>26079503
No.

>>26079503
Looking forward to it!

I guess if /nasa/ wants to prepare for war then there are three things to consider: personell, resources, and propaganda. /nasa/ needs to have babies. Lots of babies. Then those babies have to grow up and become lumberjacks and miners. We need wood, coal, and iron at minimum. /nasa/ will also have to change its speech laws to have unopposed propaganda to groom kids into war. Either that or have lots of gold to hire mercenaries to do the fighting for them. Sanalites will not be content with fuel credits if they're soldiers. They'll want gold and privileges as soldiers. On top of that we have to raise blood thirsty Sanalites who just want to "kill". So we need to groom Sanalites into killing for Sana or honor.

So your pussy principal is trying to avoid war. Good news is he'll be dead in about 30 years. So that's plenty of time to get started raising a generation of warriors. And if your principal walks the plank then you can start preparing conquest plans now. You just need to have an election to vote in Sanalites in favor of war. And his cabinet will follow. If council tries to stop the Senate from declaring war, then hang them as traitors and appoint a new council. It will be easy to transition /nasa/ into a war mongering nation. We just need to get support from the people of /nasa/ (by asking the thread for a vote). Once approved we can start our plans for conquest. To hell with the directive.

That said I don't think Sana wants /nasa/ to conquer the world through violence. If /nasa/ wants to conquer the world then we can do so through culture and technology. We've made friends in all of the council nations quickly. Even if the /rrat/ monks are no longer here. /uuu/ is looking forward to ice cream sammies they can't get anywhere else. And /who/ and /morig/ are powerful trade partners. /meat/ gave Sanalites a way to live without Spacesuits. And /luna/ is in love with our sweets. And while /risu/ will be blue balled, we have exotic nuts to trade. Other than shitlisting /pyon/ /nasa/ has made quite a development without official war so far. It'd be good to prepare for war just in case. But /nasa/ does not need to go on the offensive at this time.

>>26080326
You are forgetting our strongest weapon, mate. The first nuclear bomb was already sent to our neighbours, and is expected to arrive any day now. After that it's only a matter of how much we want from them, and how much they are willing to give us. I give Saplings 2 years tops before most, if not all, are completely addicted to our deserts, specially ice-cream sandwiches. We do, afterall, aspire to create the best cuisine in this galaxy cluster. We can win wars before they even begin, without firing a single bullet.

>>26080576
I'm over caffinated tonight. I really should try and get some sleep.

>>26080685
Oh yea, it would be pretty late for you, huh? Just try to lay in bed and see if you doze off, ruined sleep shcedules are the worst.

>>26080576
Ice cream is going to hit Lunaitos like crack, isn't it...

>>26081956
Sorbet has existed for as far back as ancient Persia and cream-based iced sweets like kulfi appeared around the 16th century. Just because /luna/ is more late medieval/renaissance than early modern doesn't mean they won't have cream based frozen desserts. Since /luna/ is so close to the arctic and their cultural affinity to sweets they probably already has something similar to custard ice cream. It's most likely going to be the variety and flavour combinations of /nasa/'s iced snacks that are going to impress and possibly hook the Lunaitos.

>>26081956
That's putting it mildly...

>>26082212
Hmm, interesting
architect bros, the Sanalites are going forward with the Lunaito ice cream deals. Commence stage 2 of the Lunar Expansion project

>>26082500
You want some as well? We are always happy with more customers :D

>>26082738
In bulk order, you wouldn't believe how many calories you can stuff into those things.

>>26082880
Wonderful! And while I would love to set up a trade agreement, I am afraid that at the moment, certain political hiccups have set us back on our plans to establish production lines at home and a frontal shop in the Owl Republik. As such, I must admit that at the current time, we are not able to fulfill any bulk orders. I do, however, invite your delegates to pay us a visit and sample our products. If you decide to do so, we shall immediately contact our associates in the Republik, who will no doubt recieve you warmly and escort you to our home station.
In preparation of a favourable answer I would also like to ask whether you wished to sample the some of our more...exotic products.Namely, what will be delivered to the Saplings to the south and given to our Lunaito visitors

>>26082880
>>26083618
Kek. Do the sanalites even have enough agricultural capability to make enough corn syrup for all the junk food they are going to export?

>>26084367
Why use corn syrup when you can use sugar? Sugar beet grows pretty far up north, so I could see the southern parts of /nasa/ growing it.

>>26084367
They can expect generous imports of corn in the near future. It will be like the Silk Road except for sugary junk foods and treats.

>>26084367
Every business has to start somewhere. I just hope our rep won't fuck up the meeting with the Saplings, it seems we will need as much farmland in the south as we can deforest.

>>26071922
>grand voyage for sex
Excuse me sir its a grand voyage for NUTS! That just happens to include sex. We value tree nuts as much as sex nuts you know

>>26085088
If I presented you with a bag of peanuts and a dick, we both know which one you would put in your mouth first.

>>26085203
Well duh the dick first then after the peanut to get the taste of dick out of the mouth. Unless you like the taste of cum but that's personal preference

>>26085088
Oh hi
What sort of foods and drinks do /risu/ have? The ingredients are nuts that much i have understood but I'm curious about how they are prepared and what sort of treats the risuners make out of them. Wanted to check in case I decide to add mentions of food to my next stories.

Oh also, how does /risu/ view foreigners practicing their religion in /risu/? I'm assuming there arent many (or any) temples or shrines for foreign deities but how would risuners view long time foreign visitors holding roadside sermons for each other etc?

>>26085308
Well the first question I never exactly went into. There would be (alongside nuts) many different fruits and vegetables available. I need to go into the archive to find the list but essentially melons, strawberries, bananas would be pretty big. Corn as well if your near Gaputan in particular. Drinks would be coconut milk (duh) and, again this is something I really need to go into detail and find out about but a shit ton of wines and organic beverages. as someone with Portuguese parents who apparently used to stomp grapes to make wine, I know how that shit works

For the second one risuners don't really give a fuck as long as you don't shit talk Risu herself. The luknights have been chanting LUNAAAAAA during their visit for a while now. And in November you have to give up ALL your nuts when Risu shows up no exceptions and anyone who tires to be an exception during this time will be tossed into geese chamber (did i mention NO EXCEPTIONS) but other than that your fine to worship whoever.

Wow. Looking back in the archive links I really never listed food at all. Only says food and drinks that are organic and nut milk from coconuts holy kek. Now I am actually curious what kind of fruits/veggies would be viable in /risu/. Also never looked up what we would make that shit into. I really should do more research into the lives of the ancient to pre 1800's javanese for reference.

>>26085775
Do risuners have satay or something similar? It's served with a peanut sauce after all.

>>26086053
Rarely but I can say yes. Risuners do eat meat but it's only if there is nothing left or special occasions.

>>26086269
Doesn't have to be eaten with the meat of terrestrial animals. I mean the sauce can also be eaten with fish and say fried plantains. In this context, the sauce probably developed independently from the meat skewers and is considered a common condiment.

So, pardon me for not being fully up to date with current going-ons, but /risu/ is sending an expeditionary fleet to the council nations of the northwest, right? I get that they're partly interested in meeting fellow forest people such as the saplings, and there's been talk of "nut" exchanges with both /uuuu/ and /sana/, but is there anything planned with /who/ other than the possible military parade that I hear /who/ will greet them with? Is it mostly just a sex stop with some showing off on /who/'s part?

>>26087022
I'll be reading /who/ lore archive very soon to see if you all have anything of interest to offer. We like a lot of things but ultimately we are on the quest for all different kinds of nuts. Both food and sex nuts yes.

>>26087022
It's established(kinda) that /who/ isn't expecting any visitors so there really isn't anything planned. But there's probably already a roughly planned list of activities that visiting diplomat/leaders would do in /who/, aside from the obvious military parades and inspection. The schedule would also likely include things that the risuners requested but that would be subject to things like time constraints, practicality and security. Things that I can think of that would be available almost immediately when the risuners proved they are diplomats and not just a fleet of random squirrel people include hot air ballon ride, visiting some of the vineyards on western coast and maybe a tour around one of our steam warships. The library of /who/LEXandria is probably located in the capital further inland so that would have to wait. Even if Alexandria irl is a coastal city

>>26087326
Most of the nut production would be in the West which has a med climate and they aren't particularly sensitive or require time to prepare for a visit so that can be arranged rather easily. For the sexual kind of nut you would have to arrange it yourself kek.

So ill be doing the tri fleet update later today. When we reach /sora/ specifically signifying our last 'stop' before making it to /who/. I think then a lot more questions will be answered. Also im gonna put a hold on a lot of the captains logs for now since /risu/ is based off indonesia but the problem is Indonesia wasnt a country until after WW2. So ill probably be basing it on javanese culture. Pretty sure Risu herself lives in Jakarta.

You know I've been thinking recently. We do a bit of magic in gems and plants but what about metal? Since i took the whole magic gem idea from terraria originally and have EXTREME terraria autism why not magic metal? Specifically there is a metal in terraria called chrolophyte. An organic ore that spreads and consumes organic material like mud until a certain mass has been reached and is only found in the thickest of forest. Now the power of said metal would NOT be from the game since in terraria metal hardness is all over the place and doing the math.....chlorophyte hardness is 3.5 times as hard as fucking tungsten. Just a thought. I just really fucking love magic. Pic related

>>26090203
Vtubium can be found anywhere from water to ore
Applying it to an object will give the trait of the chuuba or concept it's affiliated with

>>26091702
Ah yes I forgot about that. Thx

bump

Had some sleep. I'm mostly waiting for Saplings to develop their characters who will meet Sanalites. I can also imagine Saplings having a friendly Ent who loves to play with animals.

I'm just waiting to go home so I can post shit.

Risuner

Oh since we're going to need some fresh bread soon I'll just say that I got some great ideas from sana birthday stream. Specifically the nut part
>I wish I had a fluffy tail like you
Spacemen secretly love risuners and are butthurt they can't nut? Kek

>>26098716
We will have brushes and shampoo ready to clean Risuner tails shortly. Shampoo will also help clean fleas and ticks.

>>26087356
>they are diplomats and not just a fleet of random squirrel people
Well... They're both, really.
Are we doing non-/inf/ steam ships? I don't mind, but I thought we weren't.

>>26087356
Question for /who/. Will they send /nasa/ and /uuu/ a heads up about Risuner visitors or will it be too late before the message arrives?

>>26103114
Not the rep, but I imagine by the time the the squirrels arrive and have made it clear they're there for a tour of all the nations in the region, it'll be difficult to spread the news any sooner than a few days, maybe a week, before our guests start to move on.

>>26103114
We would send you a heads up once the risuner captain or diplomat tells us about it, that is, if they do tell us, if they don't then you can just assume we interrogated it out of them.

You would never know from the space suits but female Sanalites are bombshell women on par with Kronie women I think. There are a few outliers. But its popular for Sanalite women to copy Sana's gyaru looks. Thoughts?

>>26099643
Hmmm...hm..mhm...yea, yep. No, we really just like robutt more.

WTF HAPPENED IN HERE
I left thinking /uuu/ was on decent grounds with the /nasa/ diplomats coming and I return to this mess?
Sanalites and Hoomans:
>We simply do not understand why Saplings are so hesitant and touchy with us
Also Sanalites and Hoomans
>50 back and forth posts talking about preparing for war against /uuu/
I swear, this is why we rejected civilization and went back to nature

>>26105991
All I'm saying is, those meat men aren't anywhere near as cool as us plant dudes. Plants are based.

>>26105991
If it makes you feel better the talk for invasion got shut down quickly. That said the Sanalite blocking the war may be exiled from office soon. He'll also be dead in about 30 years.

>>26106089
/meat/ isn’t strictly made out of meat, funnily enough.

>>26105991
Now now, let's not be too hasty here. That's just one dude who wishes we had a a bigger fishing industry. I promise you, from the Hooman side >we don't actually mean any harm. We're friends, aren't we? And I'm sure the Sanalite is just partaking in their tradition of "banter", yes?

>>26106364
Sometimes I forget that meat is /meat/, then I remember /meat/ exists so meat has a double meat meaning. Meat means meat or /meat/ here, which has me meet with a rather meaty concept to grasp.
Sorry, I get this word autism sometimes.

I'm trying my damndest not to have /nasa/ start a war with /uuu/. /nasa/ does not have the resources to start an offensive war. And /nasa/ is still a colony of the Terra Federation. Which means we are bound to the Grand Directive. Anyone attempting to start a war is a Mozzie or a traitor.

>inb4 that guy who says fire /nasa/'s rep.

Sometimes I wish the nijicontinent had more reps just so I could try to go to war with some of them. I like a healthy spoonful of violence in the morning.

>>26107142
sometimes i wonder how /nasa/ does all the things that it does

around 5000 people that had half of them locked up for quite a while yet and very limited resources due to not even really having set up agriculture yet already exporting ice cream adn candy to 2 different countries, forget ships, not even a basic port setup yet already got /meat/ to make them magical tattoos to exist outside of spacesuits. spaceship crashed yet all seems fine besides the engine and no real inconvience to the population.

what besides your grand directive is really stopping you from war since you already said you getting steel ready for trade too so guns should be no issue either for all the population that does nto already have one anyway.

>>26107283
Rosebud! I was wondering if you could have some insights on how Rosebutas might see Deadbeats. Would they have any idea what and who they're looking at? Do they know /morig/ exists? How familiar are they with formal military hierarchies?
Also, what would be their mindset immediately after being rescued from over a decade of inhumane captivity?

>>26107384
>exporting ice cream adn candy to 2 different countries
this is a bit of an overstatement considering theyre only giving us a few ice cream sammies

>>26107384
For the port thing, they're trading through /who/'s ports iirc.

>>26107473
That's a lot of really good questions! I can answer them pretty easily too, I think.
>Would they have any idea what and who they're looking at?
With them having been captured so long ago, it's extremely likely that those schizos were the ONLY people they've seen outside of their own homeland. The average Rosebuta at this stage is barely aware of the existence of other beings, few know of the names of other species, and even fewer have met someone not of their own species. They might understand that Deadbeats are, sort of, like them. They might even think Deadbeats could be plant-based like they are, considering the general body shape is similar.
>Do they know /morig/ exists?
Definitely not. They wouldn't even know of a continent outside of their own. As far as /rose/ is concerned, they are the only civilization that really matters. They know of the nijicontinent and it's surroundings, but individuals don't often care to learn about anything outside of their nation. Very isolationist.
>How familiar are they with formal military hierarchies?
Actually, the Boars would be pretty well acquainted with that. It's not mandatory for Rosies, but all Boars spend at least five years serving under what could be referred to as /rose/'s military. Some continue to stay with that military even after the mandatory five years.
>what would be their mindset immediately after being rescued from over a decade of inhumane captivity?
While variation will exist depending on personality, I think I can naturally say it's not a very fun mindset. As far as Rosebutas are concerned, anyone other than their own could be nearly as bad as that big troll. It'll take some convincing if you want them to open up, feeding them and cleaning them up and freeing them will help a whole lot of course, but it's not quite enough for them to do much beyond answering questions. Befriending a Rosebuta is exceedingly hard, double so for these guys who have been brutally fucked up by the only other species they've met. You can expect them to flinch at any quick motion, react with fear or violence upon being touched, and stay on extreme edge during conversation.
To summarize real quick, they'd be very grateful but even more suspicious and wary of anyone other than themselves.

>>26107384
First off we're not sending thousands of ice-cream sammies to /uuu/. It's about 10 baker's dozens and its first come first serve. /nasa/ has "some" infrastructure. Food processing is a factory inside the central station because it is an essential service. Food processing also doubles as drug production because many of /nasa/'s medicines come from distilling chemicals from crops. As for exporting "candy" we're not. Unless you're talking about candy being part of rations. /nasa/ had a stockpile of rations that were about to expire. So we sold many of those rations to /who/, KFP, and /morig/ in exchange for livestock, seeds, rice, and gold. Gold will be used to buy materials needed to build wagons and tools to mine iron and coal. With iron and coal /nasa/ can make lightweight steel by making coke for electric arc blast furnaces made from repurposed scrap. We have some power tools for logging and mining. Chainsaws make cutting down trees easier. And we have asteroid drills that can be repurposed into hand tools for mining. Plus /nasa/ is still learning about chuubanite from the impact crator. So eventually we'll be able to use chuubanite as an alternative to lithium batteries for more efficient tools.

The reason why we have quality of life now is because of deep space age tools surviving the crash. While the tools are few they are efficient enough to have one man do the job of 10 men. Plus we have an information network of databases filled with survival guides, history, and engineering patents and blueprints. And if the database doesn't have a guide then Sanalites can communicate via message boards and online forums in the network to figure things out. A lot of things we take for granted in our modern life today is what's keeping /nasa/ alive now with how few people it has. So we're incredibly blessed that /nasa/ is allowed to have the technology as off worlders. Otherwise we'd be living like cavemen having to do everything by hand with sticks and stones.

That said the drawback is Sanalites have a lack of work ethic and a frail constitution. I don't think /nasa/ Sanalites have the mindset for war because they never really had to kill humans for resources on our voyage. Sure we have simulations but they'll never be like the real thing. Sanalites have gotten lazy with wanting to throw festivals every chance they get when they really should focus on rebuilding infrastructure by hand. Don't think that will lead to a downfall. But it will lead to a rude awakening when Sanalites are almost out of food, water, and power in 10 years.

>>26107384
They're basically borrowing our postal service for the entirety of their exports and imports, they don't have enough infrastructure to conduct their own diplomatic trips.

>>26108256
guess my mind sometimes makes the things sound grander than they really are.

the whole "not used to killing" and "work ethic" thing due to basicly being pampered future people, does however make me wonder a different thing. besides sanalites in the spacestation, wich is basicly an impenetrable fortress to anything but a few countries or giant armies.

what does stop opportunistic bands of bandits or foreign task forces interested in /nasa/ tech for one reason or another from just picking on some sanalites at mines, lumbercamps or other places outside the station.

wouldn't that be quite hard with the limited amount of people around because even with guns something like a night ambush or jsut plain superior numbers would seem like easy tactics agaisnt such people.

>>26108227
Excellent! Extreme suspicion, makes sense. I think I have the right idea then. It's good that the boars will experience with a military, that might be a way to build rapport.
Now I just gotta research how people communicate with people they don't share a language (or even language roots) with.

>>26109166
Simple hand gestures or charades usually works well. Holding an object and associating it with a word helps in some scenarios, like pointing to an apple and calling it so. Or, if you want to skip that, you could always have someone be a translator. While it's highly unlikely that a Rosebuta would understand any Holo language, unless the schizos spoke Holo language in front of them, there's a more significant chance that one of your people knows some Niji language. If you have a couple Risuners and if this is a small deal in the future, one of them might even know a spattering of /rose/'s language. Whatever tickles your fancy most.

>>26106089
Risuners are not plant people but we really love them. We even nutted in rose people and now we're gonna nut in sapling people.

Note before I eat dinner and work on stuff
1. We REALLY want to get along with /uuu/ and only want to burn them down as last resort
2. Risuners will be content with trading physical nuts and resort to fucking each other if necessary. It's not a pure sex crusade. But sex is very much appreciated
3. I want to passionately cuddle rose anon and let them have breeding sex with me.
4. Gonna look into vtubium since I've kinda already went with the MAGIC IS EVERYTHING route as well as the low tech Indonesian route

And now for questions. I know risu is based off Indonesia but can people remind me what the country more closely resembles climate/resource wise? I would like to have a proper list of food, drinks, crops, nuts etc.

Your all great. Glory to plant people and plant lovers.

>>26109475
Oh, that's good, I totally forgot about the schizo speaking in front of the prisoners!
The schizos were mostly Kronies, so they would have spoken the /inf/ language with each other. The prisoners could have picked up bits and bobs of that over the years...

>>26108803
First off, every citizen in /nasa/ is armed. A citizen is required to carry a firearm on them at all times outside the station. Second, Sanalites do have some combat experience now after repelling schizo raids. Slowly but surely Sanalites are becoming more hardened to the unforgiving environment. The schizos raids which plagued /nasa/ for months have made Sanalites more aware. And so we reinforced our security with both more surveilence and tactics. We still fall victim to the occasional ambush. However Sanalites are learning very quickly. In fact combat training is now required for all physically able Sanalites. There are still some disabled Sanalites that can't fight. But those Sanalites will be trained for surveilence and spotting to aid combatants.

bread?

anon, dont forget the title on the bread this time pls

ill wait for bread

It seems like there's a conspiracy to overthrow /nasa/'s current government and to dispose of the Grand Directive in order to wage war for conquest. And I was hoping civil war would be over.

>>26110816
the other nations are too peaceful at the moment and the grand directive makes for a good villain so everyone is rooting for some action

Page 11, no one will know how horny Rosebutas secretly are for other species.
