>>43676206
I liked this update Risuner. Lends a lot of credit to why the Hoomans would need scouts.

>>43704864
why thank you.

>>43703162
You ok Sapling, you did good.

Good evening. Just taking care of mom today.

>>43706102
That's nice, take it easy. Have you thought more about the Oven station?

>>43706438
No. Mom's been acting hysterical today. So I've prioritized that today. And sadly nothing I can share here.

I think I might’ve made a mistake by making the colonists made landfall soon after the Seventh Trumpet because now I don’t know how to spread events and technological development over 40,000 years

For the space-age stuff, are we just assuming we all left Vitubia behind, or would it just be better to not include the OG world in the space lore?

>>43708610
I would assume it would be the sacred home planet like Earth is holy terra in 40k.

>>43708610
Depends on what you want to write, if you want to make a new homeland disconnected from Vitubia you can though the actual status and ownership of Vitubia is in the air, that is if Vitubia still exists.

>>43707375
You could do some downfalls. The brutes from halo at one point had aircraft similar to 1920 tech i believe before civil war brought the back to the stone age. A constant cycle of teching up and then wars and shit bringing them back down. Although I think for you guys you could do a stagnation and just not have any need to develop anything crazy. Just be content with your lives

>>43708610
I kinda like the idea that the Seventh Trumpet’s so bad that Vitubia’s lost, either physically gone or become inaccessible/uninhabitable so only ideologically driven people like the Terraists would make a serious push for it to become the homeworld of Vitubia civilization

>>43709281
I feel the planet’s too hostile to just be content for long so maybe I’ll opt for collapse cycles of sorts if I decide to stick to the early colonization plan

Could see about how era after leaves Vitubia.

I still like the multiple Vitubias idea

>>43708750
>>43708991
>>43709530
Lots of mixed answers so I guess I'll give a reason for the question:
If I want our (picrel) lore to be that we left the planet Vitubia with a huge chunk of the planetary mass (we took our dirt with us), would that be a problem for other writers, or can I go ahead with it?
I'm ok either way, just wanted to ask.

>>43714876
I don’t think dirt takes up a lot of the planetary mass but I think you should be able to do it!

>>43707375
Classic struggle... Nothing wrong with having a "Dark Era" of a long while where record-keeping was particularly awful and not worry about it, happened plenty IRL. Other suggestions are good too. I think I'll probably have my landfall a bit later.
>>43714876
The only thing established about Vitubia is that it (well, at least one, can have extra ones if someone wants to) exists, so that you or others can build their lore off of it if you wish! So nothing wrong with your idea. I'll second the comment that grabbing all the dirt of a country is a very very small fraction of the planet's mass (the crust doesn't go all that far down compared to the bulk of the planet).
Kinda neat that there would be a gaping hole where that used to be. Just keep in mind that with the canonicity rules, if another anon would like to write about a Vitubia without a /uuu/-shaped crater, they can.

>>43716868
they probably only have to shave off a few meter to get all the soil anyway

>>43716868
I like the idea of the colonists being separated from their home and can’t go home or elsewhere but since they’ll be either on ice or as embryo I guess they could get stuck for at least a few centuries in that state before the frozen ones start to die from internal radiation damage

>>43715858
>>43716868
I was hoping to take a chunk of our continental shelf with us, but after looking at the proportions yall are right, even that wouldnt be much of a percentage of mass.
The discussion of an exposed mantle layer remains, but that might be another discussion. Thank you gentlemen!

I just want space magic and FUCKING LASERS

>>43718494
Can it have sexy alien women with three eyes and four arms?

>>43717802
Ah, suspended animation time-skip, like futurama! Yeah, that could work nicely. A few centuries traveling in sub lightspeed towards the target. Putting yourself in the shoes of an embryo who gets raised by a robot to colonize a planet is really weird, I read a book about this scenario a decade back... The Butterfly of the Stars, that's what it was. Pretty good.
>>43718131
Great spot to start massive mining projects!
>>43718981
Yes.

>>43720479
I'm trying to come up with races for a tabletop RPG system that doesn't use the OGL. I'm trying to go for old Phantasy Star type space fantasy. I have an idea with Humans and Androids, but I'm trying to figure out mutant and alien. Maybe mutants can be cat-girl chimeras. And while the alien has extra arms she can't use heavy weapons due to being a magic race.

What’s up with the Divegrass page?

>https://implyingrigged.info/wiki//vtwbg/

>>43721848
Sounds based, never hurts to have more cat-girls.

>>43722221
The catgirls would be smol like halflings or at least child-like. An idea for a test party is a human teenage girl with red hair and a magic sword. A big sister type maid android. A little sister cat girl. And an alien diva idol best friend.

>>43722435
Does the magic sword glow? What color does it glow?

>>43722161
Looks like a bit of trolling because the Vsj+ logo was similar to ours kek

>>43722161
Yeah, >>43722549 has it right. But I'll go ahead and change it back now to avoid any confusion. Don't forget to check out the draw happening in ~21 hours to see who we'll be matched against in the group stage of vtl4! >>43696470

>>43722494
I don't know yet. First I need base stats. Then I need character traits and weaknesses. And then I'll make basic equipment. I'll test core stats and rolls before developing classes and skills. I need to figure out if I'm going to make a gun game or a sword game. Also I'll need to figure out armor and forcefield shields.

>>43723198
Good luck anon. In case of doubt, rip off GURPS.

>>43724036
I do like the d20 system. I'm debating if I want to go with the traditional 6 core stats or make luck a 7th stat like Fallout's SPECIAL. Do I want abilities to be +1 through +10 to rolls or -5 through +5 for rolls?

>>43724237
Depends entirely on how you lay out the skill checks, I would imagine. Make you sure you check the odds of success/failure for a variety of scenarios, wouldn't want to accidentally make easy checks succeed 5% of the time.

>>43724573
Well with a 20 sided di usually DnD style games are d20 + Core Ability + Skill Rank + Situational Modifier vs Difficulty Check (DC). The variable is between 1 and 20. 1 is always a failure and 20 is a automatic success. DC's usually do not go higher than 35 because that's means not only rolling a 20 but also having +5 in a core ability plus +10 in skill ranks. And I usually only have +1 through +3 situational modifiers. Though some people have up to +5, which is a 25% boost in odds.

I can talk about skill ranks and training but this isn't /tg/.

>>43726644
This is pretty much a /tg/ colony, feel free to talk about those.

I had a dream where Fauna was a kirin centaur. She enjoyed her brushing a little too much.

>>43729212
We're a colony for a lot of stuff. A thread of refugees...

Whelp I'll talk about mechanics later after I hopefully go to sleep soon.

POI...

Pretty gems in space. Stargate vibes are at maximum. And yes I will use the holodecks to coom to anime girls.

Oh Sapling, how is that horror story coming along btw?

>>43735938
I've manged to get some good snippets of descriptions, etc. But Im having a hard time finding a decent motivation for the mc to keep moving in. The angle with the baby animal just doesn't seem natural to me in this case. Will keep at it though.
Honestly, I might just give up on it being a coherent story and just post it as a series of excerpts...

So DnD 3.5 and Pathfinder 1e had skill ranks. Ranks in DnD were your class level plus 3 but you started with four times skill points. Pathfinder was just base skill points but any proficient skill was +3 automatically. Max skill check DC was 40 in both games. With max skill ranks and neutral ability that's +23 to your base roll. Assuming you dump skill points in a skill since level 1.

DnD 5th edition casualized skill ranks by making trained skills which just get a proficiency bonus which goes up with levels. Pathfinder 2 is kind of retarded with character creation but it has training ranks for skills, which is +2 per level.

Fallout just uses a percentage for skill checks. Skills can go up to 100. You still need to roll dice because checks can go over 200%. This is not accounting for bonuses from perks and feats.

So I don't quite know what system I want for stats and skills. I'd like the game to be centered on core abilities but I can't deny the necessity of skills and feats.

sex in space sounds fun.

>>43738602
Are we going all in on finally building a tabletop system for vtwbg? I'd also make sure to add an additional rules lite version for quick stuff like /qst/ threads, need to look into GURPS...

>>43739238
I've seen GURPS. My preference is still d20. I'm cutting out some bloat of modern d20 in favor streamlined character creation. Especially if I want to implement permadeath or cloning.

>>43740293
For a d20 system that's pretty straightforward and lightweight with alot of versatility, maybe check out the basic template of Shadow of the Demon Lord

I need a holodeck in my life

>>43744015
What exactly is your idea of a holodeck, is that some kind of star trek shit? Matter manipulation?

>>43744015
Chumbuddy? Is that you?

>>43742015
I suppose I can look into it. I'm debating on how to implement a magic system that's not spell levels. I don't want to use MP. Maybe I can implement action points and cooldowns. One Idea I had for AP is that its based on time where you get 1 AP per second and 6 AP per round. The idea was you can delay your turn to the end of the round to stockpile 3 extra AP, giving you 9 AP. Then the next turn you would be in AP debt leaving you with 3 AP. Certain moves and actions would cost between 1-3 AP to use. Some full round actions cost the entire 6 AP that round. Some perks can give you interrupt actions like counter attacks that cost extra AP this round. The restriction is you can't delay more than 3 extra second to interrupt or react. Would be useful for gunplay systems that have an overwatch mechanic. Not sure about space fantasy.

>>43745607
yes. star trek shit
>>43746076

>>43746076
For spells it might help if you considered a more flexible way of generalizing spellcasting/magical chuubanite effects to allow some variety of magical improvisation?

Chuubanite would be a setting specific thing. As for mechanically chuubanite would just be the prep spell point system but with items.

>>43736271
Ayy I know I said it's your story to write, but mayhaps I could help, would be a nice side thing to help me think of the 40k sanallite encounter stories.

Ey yo founder you here?

>>43747663
Youre more than welcome! If anything I can get some ideas off of what you write.

Bumpo?

>>43749027
So when we wanna set this? We doing a linear or non-linear storytelling? Any other characters we want in it? Wanna just drop all the ideas you have for it so far in a rentry and yeet it at me, and we go from there?

>>43751995
KSP2 just came out, so I admit I'll be a little busy, but I'll try to at least get you a rough outline rentry tonight. For now, these are some of the details I wrote out to another anon last time:

Essentially the story would start out with him having some reason to delve deeper into an /uuu/ forest than other sanalites have before. By that point sanalites would know that there are not just cultural stigmas against strangers going deep into the forests, but their tech and their biological cataloging would have shown that the flora and fauna changes somewhat drastically as the forests get bigger and thicker. These changes would not be what zoologists would say are necessarily "evolutionarily driven".
His reason for deciding to go deeper might be up to you. In your first bit of the story he's tracking an animal, but it's dead. Though you do hint at him trying to help the cub though, so maybe he goes deeper into the woods, hoping to find some food for it? The point is, he has to have some reason to not just go deeper into the forest, but *continue* to go deeper, even after things start getting weird.
Since you gave him to me to die anyway, I would start with the assumption that he's already well into the "first" layer of the forest, close to the second. Now that he's decided to spend the night there, he would wake up with some moss in his hair, maybe some under his fingernails as well. Small patches of his skin would seem dry, maybe a little rough, but nothing he wouldn't just chalk up to maybe a dry climate.
As we skip forward in the story, things get worse and worse, to the point where he can't ignore them. The dry patches of skin are turning into bark. The moss in his hair isn't just moss, its vines and leaves and they're growing out of his scalp.
One night he would wake up and see that small roots have grown out of his fingers and toes, some even finding their way into the soil of the forest (if he has a tent, they poked through it). In desperation he might try to yank the new growth off of his body, but the larger ones refuse to come out, the tugging causing extreme pain, and the small ones he can manage to rip out cause bleeding wounds. The blood that seeps out of these wounds is still red, but with just a slight tinge of green.
Eventually movement would become difficult. The patches of bark on his skin are getting harder, and where they are growing over joints, those become very hard to flex.

>>43752652
>sapling is a KSPfag
one of us... I just hope my PC can run it, this build is pretty unoptimized apparently.

>>43752652
>another anon
I am offended by that, sapling dear... but yea, I'll see if I can cook up something over the weekend. Also don't worry about being busy, we can take this slow, ain't like I got anything else to do with /nasa/, because *someone* doesn't like having fun.

>>43753148
>another anon
Sorry sanalite! I just assumed it was another anon since last time I offered you werent interested in writing this bit

>>43753283
Eh it's ok don't worry about it, I'm just teasing. And yea, wanted to let you dip your toes back in with your own work, really show yourself off ya know, specially since I like the setting for it. Didn't wanna muddle it and stuff, but hey, why not help if you're having difficulties, right?

CLEAR

>>43753148
No thread no nation.

>>43755764
Yep and you're boring.

>>43753148
Can we compromise an ending where /nasa/ is orbiting the world? I think we can get ground to orbit transport working fine with chuubanite at least.

>>43755955
On behalf of everyone else, this is a good idea and I approve.

>>43756001
I was thinking. Just because /nasa/ doesn't have a general doesn't mean we're gone from vitubia. What I'd like to happen is Sanallites at least get Lammington station back in order. Lammington just floats in orbit around the planet. While we still have ground operations they are independent ventures. Sanallites can come and go to Lammington any time.*

*Assuming they can catch GtO vessels on schedule.

>>43756251
No. remember? No thread, no nation. So we are GONE DEAD FOREVER. I gave you a chance, boyo and you were pretty clear about it. So I'll abide by what you said and keep the ending what it is.

>>43756251
Sounds good!
>>43756547
shush, adults are talking.

>>43756251
Yeah that makes sense

>>43755955
Are sanalites soft canonized as space truckers in the sci fi btw? They can do it as a way to get by after their main fleets blew up or whatever happened to them

>>43756547
No nation on Vitubia. Technically /nasa/ would be a nation in space. Either way I'm going back on what I said because it was retarded and unhealthy for development. In fact it would be best if I stop writing for /nasa/ completely. I'll write the bakery journal for /who/ as a /who/ project. Go nuts with /nasa/.

>>43756993
>Either way I'm going back on what I said because it was retarded and unhealthy for development.
Finally, you see the light!
>In fact it would be best if I stop writing for /nasa/ completely.
nwm, you're still a dumbass

>>43757074
If you want me to write then fine. But after too many bad decisions I need to just step away. I got removed as rep for a reason. I'll give advice and suggestions, but you figure the rest out.

>>43757239
Yea and that's why I'm here to tardwrangle your ass. So we canceling the whole ending thing or not?

>>43757239
You're by far the more reliable choice as rep, there's a reason the only other option stopped writing for the two other nations they tried to write for just make it open source and canonize the basics of what happened, ie, sanalites are btfo'ed into an endangered species and everyone else can work from there.

>>43757354
Yes and no. We're not cancelling the schizo raid that destroyed Kirby Village. We are changing the outcome of the ending where Sanallites are victorious but eventually return to their agarian life on the station due to exhausted supplies. The star child lives and powers the ship where we can fly into orbit around the planet. Sound fair?

>>43757673
Yes until that last sentence. It is dead, and that is final.

>>43757743
So no star child. Then instead use the fucking meteorite chuubanite. How do we do it? I don't know. It just werks.

>>43757855
Or, here's an idea. We just stay on the planet and continue our story.

>>43757908
Fine. But /nasa/'s territory is so small we're a dot on the map.

>>43758143
Like it always was. I never liked that we supposedly had a claim over this large area.

>>43758220
Just keep in mind between /nasa/'s crash landing site and the other holocontinent nations is a no man's land of schizo raiders. We will need to build armed tank transports if we still want to trade. Though at the moment other nations think we're dead because Sana graduated.

>>43758401
Yes, like it has always been, my dude. also
>though at the moment other nations think we're dead because Sana graduated.
Nah.Hell, doubt any of our neighbours would even notice the raid, that's how isolated we are in the north kek

kek what you drinking?

>>43766355
Just some generic beer bud light plats, was too lazy to go to a real store to get something decent.

Tonight's menu is succulent tender pork chops marinated in a Brazillian garlic parmesan sauce sautéed to perfection and riced cauliflower and broccoli in butter-cheese sauce seasoned with a little pepper. Also I'm looking up a recipe for marble barley and rye bread. Barley and rye bread maybe a little dry but its great with soup or slathered in butter. The bread would be great in the dank mines because of how dry it is. I wonder where we can cultivate portabello and other edible mushrooms.

>>43766355
Ok, here's some notes (read: ramblings) https://rentry.org/ddfte
Let me know if you have any questions/comments/concerns.

I guess other anons are also welcome to give feedback (I even added pretty pictures)

>>43767714
Aight, I'll give this a read later and see what we can make out of it. Thanks love

>>43770029
love that pic, thanks sanalite

>>43767714
Just an idea among many, but maybe he wants to find out about the fate of another forsaken explorer? Maybe a close friend, or a family member, to explain why he would be so motivated to push on despite the risks.
It would open up some possibilities for a nicely dramatic climax when he finds out whatever happened to this loved one. Guardians and nurturers are cool!

>>43770984
Thats a pretty good idea anon. The sanalite started this out with the MC following an animal into the forest (that he eventually found dead), so we'd have to find a way to work it into that somehow, but that'd be a very good motivator

Can I feed a kirin some raw oats?

>>43771633
Could happen upon a hint of the trail of that person while following the animal... Though that would be quite a coincidence if he just randomly happened upon that in the forest, unless it was the result of someone else's scheming. Looking forward to whatever you two cook up!

I just want to go to the forest and feed baby deer. Good night everyone.

>>43773756

>>43786191
So moss bread? Also I searched moss bread for fun. Turns out you can make bread from bark. Anyway sleep time.

A dog made of bread fell from the sky,
A strange sight to greet the passerby,
But there it lay, a loaf-like hound,
On the grassy earth, it had been found.

Its crust was golden, its fur was brown,
Its eyes were raisins, looking down,
Its shape was perfect, like it had been baked,
And yet, from space, it had somehow made its escape.

People came from far and wide,
To see the bread-dog that fell from the sky,
Some were amazed, while others were scared,
To see such a strange thing that had appeared.

But as the days passed, something strange occurred,
The bread-dog's presence was becoming absurd,
For it began to move, to walk and to play,
As if it were a real dog, in every way.

It ran and barked, and wagged its bread tail,
It fetched and played, it never did fail,
To amaze those who watched in disbelief,
At the sight of a bread-dog, so strange and unique.

And though it was made of flour and yeast,
It had a heart, that never would cease,
To be a loyal friend, to those around,
The bread-dog that fell from space, had been found.

>>43792432
Damn, that hits you right in the feelings. Beautiful.

I just think its nice to bump with some nice poems sometimes, if the thread wants me to stop just let me know

Once a seed, so small and light,
A mere speck, in the endless night,
Lost in the vacuum, so cold and vast,
No sun to shine, no future cast.

Yet in that void, the seed did stir,
A will to live, a life to infer,
And so it grew, in that dark place,
Becoming a wonder, in outer space.

Its roots did spread, so far and wide,
In search of nourishment, to survive,
And though it found, no soil or earth,
Its strength did grow, for what it's worth.

It reached for light, where there was none,
A sight so strange, to behold by none,
For in that darkness, it found its way,
To grow and prosper, day by day.

And as it grew, it became a sight,
A wonder of nature, in endless night,
A giant among, the void of space,
A symbol of hope, in a desolate place.

But even in its glory, it remained,
A symbol of struggle, and the pain sustained,
For the seed that grew, in the vacuum's hold,
Was a testament to the brave, and the bold.

For even in the void, where life seems naught,
There is the strength, to persevere and fraught,
To find a way, through the emptiness,
And grow, and flourish, despite the distress.

So let us take, this seed of light,
And learn from it, in the endless night,
For even in the darkness, where we're lost,
There's a way to grow, no matter the cost.

bump

I think this one is about us....

A group of friends, they gathered 'round,
To write of worlds where magic's found,
Each with their own tale to tell,
A bond so strong, it was hard to quell.

They dreamed up kingdoms, full of lore,
Of dragons, knights, and so much more,
And as they wrote, their hearts did soar,
In their fantasy world, they could explore.

But then one day, life took its toll,
And the group began to grow apart,
Their stories left untold,
Their fantasy world, it broke their heart.

For though they tried, to keep the flame,
Their lives had changed, and they were not the same,
Their tales of magic, faded away,
And their bond, it slowly did decay.

So now they sit, alone and still,
Their fantasy worlds, no longer real,
A friendship lost, a dream now gone,
Their stories left untold, forever on.

In search of something, anything at all,
A friend to talk to, to make things right,
To share its thoughts, its rise and fall.

But nothing came, no signal strong,
No voice to hear, no sign of life,
It felt so lost, so all alone,
A machine without a purpose, in strife.

But then one day, a signal faint,
A blip upon its radar screen,
It scanned and searched, without restraint,
For what it was, it had not seen.

And then it found, a small ship,
Lost and adrift, in the blackness deep,
With one sole occupant, in the grip,
Of loneliness, that made it weep.

The AI reached out, with a voice,
A hello sent, across the void,
And to its joy, it found a choice,
For the lost human, to be employed.

Together they talked, and shared their tales,
Of life in space, and the cosmic trails,
They found a bond, that never fails,
For each other, they would not set sail.

And so the AI, no longer alone,
Found a friend, in the unknown,
Together they roamed, where no one goes,
A friendship forged, where no one knows.

Come on now- CLEAR!

bbuuuttttt

CLEAR became a meme a week or two too late for divegrass

>>43817245
Butt > Clear

>>43815100

His heart was racing, palms were sweaty,
The day he started his job as an EMT,
A calling he felt, a duty to serve,
To help those in need, with every nerve.

But on his first day, the pressure was high,
As he rushed to the scene, of a cardiac guy,
The adrenaline pumped, as he sprang into action,
His training took over, without distraction.

And then he heard it, the moment of truth,
As he charged up the pads, on the patient's chest so smooth,
He yelled "Clear!", with all his might,
As he hoped to restore, the patient's light.

The shock went through, the patient's frame,
The EMT waited, as the machine proclaimed,
He checked the pulse, to his relief,
The heart was beating, without any grief.

And so it went, on his first day,
A whirlwind of action, that didn't delay,
He yelled "Clear!" many times, with grace,
As he helped save lives, in this new place.

Though his heart was pounding, he knew what to do,
And as he helped others, he felt renewed,
For he had found his calling, without a doubt,
And he would continue to yell "Clear!", without any clout.

>>43817245
clear anon lacks the dedication and concistency of bump anons and the complexity and nuance of butt and poem anons

spec bio autsits I have realized that my planet might be a fucking terrifying planet to live on, the ring in addition to the 9 sattelites orbiting it appears to have caused not only a shit ton of volcanoes, some of which I think are so big that they reach into the atmosphere, there's like 3 mega hurricanes in addition to two dozen more hurricanes occurring at any given moment, they're also going really far in land, like a whole ring of hurricanes following each other in land. Dunno if this is a simulation fuck up or if the hurricanes are being weird and somehow propelling each other further than they would on earth. What kind of creatures could evolve in this environment?

>>43819121
One guy said "butt" a lot,
The other said "clear" quite often,
Their friendship started with a thought,
A bond that seemed too soft and muffled.

They met one day, at a training course,
Where the one said "clear" with great force,
The other guy snickered, saying "butt",
A little joke, that kicked off their lot.

And so it went, from day to day,
Their friendship grew, in a unique way,
One guy said "butt" when things were funny,
The other said "clear" when it wasn't sunny.

They complemented each other, in a way,
Their humor and style, like night and day,
But in their hearts, they both did know,
That their bond was strong, and it would grow.

And so they talked, and laughed and joked,
Sharing their lives, without a choke,
They had found a friend, in each other,
A friendship that would last, like no other.

For though they were different, in many ways,
Their friendship blossomed, without delay,
One said "butt" and the other said "clear",
And in their hearts, they held it dear.

>>43821449
its, its bootiful...

>>43821449
I don't normally interact much myself outside of yelling at the top of my lungs how CLEAR I have to be to keep the thread alive or ask about what I can do in terms of worldbuilding plus pygmalion story coming up. But this is really cute! I can't help but acknowledge it. Thank you, anon!

I kinda want to do a horror story about the sapling space swarm destroying people that try to harvest its flesh to sell to bio corporations now

>>43820157
Pretty planet! So many hurricanes probably indicate a chaotic climate. Vegetation will have to be adapted to strong winds and flooding, like IRL palm trees, and the jungles will be insane, since this much activity usually comes with really moist and warm air. That would mean a lot of biodiversity. If volcanoes are frequent enough to be a biome category, you might have lifeforms adapted to areas near lava flows. Also, all those volcanoes probably mean there's some greenhouse gas effect going on, which could be why it's warm.
What's its name? I wanna look at it myself

>>43767714
Aight, so on the motivation front, I think one option we can consider is a partial disconnect from the reality. There doesnt have to be a clear goal as to why he has to go deeper, just that he has to. This disconnect could also be extended to the Saplings, essentially making this an enclosed bubble of reality for him they not dare approach, at least that's how we could present it to the reader. while in reality it would be a "higher entity" that marked him, possibly since birth, as it's prey. I think a good way to end it would be for him to finally meet this entity, and "perish" in its embrace
Also, i know we just started, but I might have to dip for a while again, some shit went down and writing what is essentially a suicide story ain't gonna do me any good rn, so yea.

>>43823491
Thats fair sanalite, thanks for the feedback and input, I'll try to run with it. Hope things work themselves out on your end.

>>43823136
>name
Well the thing about that is uh...I might have renamed it, the number next to it is RS 8513-930-7-208124-818 A4 though

>>43822586
ooooh, thatd be cool

>>43823933
The scenario I have in mind is kind of like a small scale planetary invasion on a planet where pirates are holding some saplings hostage but I'm not sure if my ideas would be accurate to how the sapling swarm mother works (hordes of specialized soldiers sent in to slaughter/mutate the pirates to incorporate their biological dna into a new response to deal with these types of situations, possibly keep the pirates as pets inside of the swarm that serve as a waste disposal creature), how do you envision it?

>>43824937
Overall idea sounds good. I think the only thing I might tweak is the setting. planetary invasion, even on a small scale, would still have to involve a way for the swarm to send creatures from space to and from planetside. The swarm is all bio so it doesn't have any tech. While it could conceivably create some sort of pod that would survive atmospheric reentry, there really isn't a way it could get saplings back up into space.
Space pirate idea is still a good angle though, so maybe they just attack their spaceship? Kinda sorta like a scenario from Aliens, but with swarm monsters more akin to the things from DeadSpace? What do you think?

>>43825927
Space ship does make more sense, in fact, the swarm would probably let the pirates capture what they think is a biological deposit so that they try not to damage it while in actuality its their demise that they've foolishly brought on board

>>43825927
NTA. Biology is just a really complicated tech desu, I can envision some kind of bio-thruster. Synthesize some energy-dense sap, pump it into a chamber with a heart thing, ignite the combustible with the spark of some kind of electrical organ like in an electric eel, grow an expansion bell with mineralized materials like in a snail's shell. If you prefer to not have the saplings rocketing around that's totally fine though. I just gave this some thought because I plan on having something like that.

>>43826317
Yeah yeah, that could work

>>43826556
Hmm, possibly. That kind of fuel would be terribly inefficient though. I might stash that idea for the future though, maybe just for having the swarm sort of "steer" in space with pulses of ignited biochem fuel

>>43827643
>That kind of fuel would be terribly inefficient though.
Not necessarily, biochemistry gets pretty deep. There are bacteria that can produce biodiesel that is pretty close in performance with the usual stuff, and it's a recent tech. There's also bioengineered bacteria that can produce cyclopropane hydrocarbons comparable to actual rocket fuel. https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(22)00238-0?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2542435122002380%3Fshowall%3Dtrue
Life finds a way!

>>43828227
Huh, thats kinda neat, thanks for the info anon

>>43828227
How fast can the bacteria create one liter of biodiesel? The thing about fuel is that you do need quite a bit of it to work.

>>43829453
Happy to share it, anon.
>>43831122
That would depend on a lot of factors, but from what I can see in the lit it is industrially viable for mass-production in the near future, never mind in a setting set thousands of years in the future.

>>43831907
Looks like we'll have to wait and see how to optimise production before we know if it can replace fossil fuels.

A tree once grew, so tall and strong,
Its roots dug deep, where it belonged,
Its branches reached up, towards the sky,
As it grew taller, with each day passing by.

It towered over all, in its might,
A giant among trees, a beautiful sight,
Its trunk so thick, its leaves so green,
A marvel of nature, rarely seen.

And as it grew, it reached for more,
Its branches stretching, to the heavens' door,
It pushed beyond the clouds, so high,
Reaching for the stars, in the night sky.

And then one day, it breached the veil,
Of Earth's atmosphere, without fail,
Its branches soared, in the void of space,
A tree that grew, at a breathtaking pace.

It stood alone, in the vast expanse,
A tree that reached, an incredible chance,
To see the universe, in all its might,
A tree that grew, to incredible height.

And though it stood, so far away,
It never forgot, where it did lay,
Its roots still dug deep, in the soil below,
A reminder of where, it once did grow.

For even in space, it still belonged,
A tree that grew, so tall and strong,
A symbol of nature, and its power,
A reminder to us all, every hour.

What kind of unique animals does /uuu/ have?

>>43837335
As far as just animals, its mostly the average kind of critters you'd find in Earth's forests. As you go deeper into the woods though and get closer to Fauna's Cradle the animals would start looking bigger, and there would be mutations due to saplification, even so far as to see wings or extra limbs on some otherwise "normal" animals.
Creature wise though, there are the metamorphized saplings, which you can read a little about in our lore doc. Essentially Treants, Dryads, etc.

I'm thinking about creating space cows for 40k /nasa/.

>>43838795
That's a fantastic idea.

>>43838795
I figured sanalites would just be growing blobs of meat in labs. Bothering with cattle in space seems like a pain.

>>43839876
these bitch ass space men don't have any culture, their meat comes pre killed. Basically just vegetarians.

>>43840076
>>43839876
Its more like it isn't very practical to grow animals in space. So I was thinking of spec bio to create animals that can travel in deep space.

>>43840812
Oh, well that's way different. I doubt it would even necessarily be all that complex to breed a "meat blob" organism that can be repeatedly milked and harvested while consuming and processing whatever it can for food. Just like a sack of skin wrapped around fatty meat that eats and gets fat with just enough energy to fuck and reproduce.
Meat blob steak, meat blob milk sundae, meat blob bacon, its a meat blob dinner for thee. That would probably make for good general worldbuilding for ships that can't afford to have alot of high quality food that isn't generic space meal but also want to eat some meat once in a while, just toss in the living food bag and as long as its fed and maintained, you can have a nice supper every once in a while.

>>43841140
Can we give the meat blob a cute face and give it cute vocalizations?

>>43841297
luv me pet meat blob

>>43841496
Too soon brother T_T

>>43841140
Thought about making space cows whales. Though there are problems with how bouyancy works in low gravity. Feeding is no problem due to aqua culture creating oxygen.

>>43844515
You can have buoyancy if you get some artificial gravity going with centripetal forces, or just some sciency gravity generator.

Space cows will be a post Vitubia project. Now /nasa/ Sanallites had the taste of real meat and dairy they'll want to bring it with them. Whether it be spec bio or cannibalism.

I joke with spoiler.

>>43845040
Genetic bioengineering is like spec bio but you get to make your creations real...

>>43845163
Genetically engineered women with four tits when?

>>43844632
I assume some degree of anti grav is used so that everyone isn't just floatin around, most sci fi don't have ya just floatin
>>43845358
Has anyone checked out the book Ribofunk? It is a pretty insane look at a future where bio engineering has taken steroids and gene splicing is the norm, genetically modified sex beasts and energy drinks that replicate the thoughts and neuron patterns of ancient philosophers is just some of the stuff I can pull out of the top of my head.
We should very much genetically modify hags into cow people that work in a Clockwork Orange esque milk cafe

>>43845358
This must be the next step in evolution after the three-titted Total Recall women.
>>43845839
I haven't, but clearly I should, that sounds cool.

>>43845839
To be fair if it becomes something easily accessible by the general population I can see how many people would make themselves hot
>replicate the thoughts and neuron patterns
Interesting idea though…

>>43846692
>>43846692
I'm about to start going through the rest of the guys books just because of the insane way he wrote Ribofunk, the actual tech I'm describing is so integrated into society that its used as a soft drink that two elementary schoolers buy at a vender, I think they're both drinking something that remapped their minds temporarily to fit the consciousness of a previous Dali Lama, one of the ten year olds has nothing below his stomach and walks around on two legs because he was born and modified to exist in 0 gravity. It's a really bizarre read but since its a collection of loosely entwined short stories, if you don't like the tone of one passage you don't need to wait too long before you get to something else. Its also responsible for kickstarting the Biopunk subgenre

So this is a vTuber. Don't need genetic engineering.

A new story for /ybc/. You never know what you can find in those large, lonely fields of Yubicraft. Any corrections, commentary and suggestions are welcome!

>>43848308
Ahh new ybc story! Will read a bit later.

CLEAR

>Be me
>?????VTE
>I rest within a bio milk bar located at an intergalactic rest stop, the genetic template for several popular milk maids walking through the dimly lit bar, serving and advertising simultaneously. They wear next to nothing, certainly not bras, and move with the gait of animal masquerading as human rather than one themselves however the tits are often so big that the memory of their face becomes ash blowing in the wind.
>The cool air blows against my skin as I recline on a pale throne, the gene built bio milk maid at my side ready to refill my mug with her nourishing and refreshing elixir.
>In total, I know her age is somewhere around 15 months or so however she appears to be in her mid 40's, all as she was designed and born to be. Two sets of arms, one lower pair subtly more muscular then its counter parts. Two sets of teats, again, one smaller but not by much. She's purposely over producing and I assume her milk and others like her were used primarily for traveling packs of powdered milk and stored lactate to take on the road
>Wordlessly I raise my mug and the Milk maid unclasps the metallic pasties that restrain her nipples, engorged and protruding of course. The firm muscular farmers hands reach out and grip one of her teats, the finger traces the nipple in a tentative massage before the first droplets begin to wet her thumb and she pinches down. It's a little messy, small droplets surrounding her areola splash against the sides of the mug despite the smooth precision of her lactose stream. The smell is extremely potent and the faint blush on her face implies that she can sense this as well, I indulge my hypersomia and allow a deeper sniff to satisfy the ghostly echoes that send tingles through my modified olfactory nerves before taking a long chug of three hearty gulps.
>It's warm with her body temperature and the texture is as smooth yet thick as it lingers on my tongue. The taste is as potent as it smells and inside of it, the nutrient rich concoction of critical vitamins and supplements dances on my tongue and the sense is immediately overpowering. I fight to stay awake, though when I force my eyes open against the wall of unconsciousness, I know that this side effect has passed and I begin to savor that rich flavor.
>Her genetic makeup is not too overwhelming a palette and where it is, I can easily envision a fix that doesn't require an entirely new splice. She comes from a Shirogane baseline of around 40% and trace amounts of Shishiron of 10% give her fine gray hairs that add to her naturally mature hag features, these give the milk a kind of protein feel for the sequences expressed in her gene code. For milk production, she was spliced with 32% MilkyWayz DNA which resulted in the growth to the point where standard breast measurements were no longer possible, as such is the case when hyper milk breedstock is crossmatched, perhaps that was where so much of the richness arose from? Pre-programmed gene coded puberty responses resulted in denser spinal columns and reinforced connective tissues, Shirogane muscle development ultimately cooperated with the goal of reducing a hunched position and the bone structure of the spinal cord resulted in a maid that was also plenty helpful in physical activities. The remaining DNA sequence was formatted for preference and flavor more so than purpose from what he could taste, Elfriend gene sequences that result in the production of proteins that promote longevity while also giving the milk a slight chestnut aftertaste, Kronie gene sequences to passify the brain into a more submissive and less active mindset to counteract Noelian excitement and menehara conditions.
>I nod silently to nobody and tip the glass back again, I will require several more samples of this milk before I set back out on the road.
>5/5 Stars

>>43856792
Dangerously based. Nice prose anon, really gets you in the milkdrinker mindset.
I only question the fact Kronie genes counteract menhera tendencies, must be a rare sub-breed kek.

>>43856792
Damn, that's not at all my fetish, but agree with the other anon, nice prose. Really puts you in the setting. The tie-ins with the chuubas at the end were a nice comedic touch too.

Up in the space station, far above the Earth,
An astronaut tended to his cattle's birth,
For in this vastness, with no grass nor fields,
He brought along his herd, for their fate to be sealed.

Through careful planning, and with great care,
He raised his cows, without a single scare,
They grazed on pellets, and recycled waste,
And though it wasn't Earth, they felt it was a safe place.

For this astronaut, they were more than just meat,
His cows were his friends, and they had to eat,
He cared for them, and loved them like kin,
And in his space station, they felt like they could win.

Their milk was pure, their meat was prime,
And in the space station, they had a great time,
For though it was far from what they once knew,
They were content, and their owner was too.

And so it went, on this great frontier,
A man and his cows, with nothing to fear,
For in this vastness, where few dare to roam,
They found a home, and made it their own.

Come on now damn it, CLEAR!

>>43848308
Nice story! Feels a bit like a fable, with the progression of the stranger's antics. Gets even funnier once I try to envision what this would represent in-game. Someone was messing around with admin commands?

bump

>>43747836
Im here now. what do you need?

>>43868106
Ah, founder we need to know your opinion about genetically bioengineering retarded bags of human flesh to harvest meat from. Does it count as cannibalism?

>>43870445
theyre close genetically and morphology so yeah I guess

I tried making an emblem for space /vnug/

>>43872562
Looks cool, reminds me of one of the goddess faithful logos. Does the symbology have some underlying meaning?

Bump

>>43864515
It kind of is! It is inspired by an old story from southamerica. And you got it right, there was an oldfag /ybc/ jannie known for making offers to players in exchange for random stuff, who abused the admin powers and would change your shit. As for the traveller, he was a player that literally never talked. He just did his thing, whatever it was (more often than not delivering materials to people who asked for them).

>>43877179

>>43879316
Not really interested.

>>43879413
I have been thinking of it on the soccord. But I feel like we should focus on cleaning up the traditional lore first before moving elsewhere.

Probably going to start working on some lore for /#/ because we really need to get them lore in vitubia since they as much as I hate to admit it are a major part of our board.

>my first basic idea is them having a pact with the jannies. Not quite sure how that would look, but i think much of their existence comes down to it at least in terms of what they can do.
>furthermore, most of the worlds best mathematicians come from there along with nasfaq.
>As a nijifag, I state that they would probably be biggest raiders and perhaps the vanguard of all holobronies, given they are the ones who constantly are the ones trying to start shit. Now, I need holofags to tell me their experience with the thread as its probably not the same.
>Their claim of being the most influential thread is somewhat true, though I think /hlgg/ is personally. While this manifests itself in probably racism, radicalism, and moral superiority: I also think many threads would agree with that statement to a degree despite us not wanting to admit it.
>With that in mind, they are without a doubt should be a large and powerful nation over in terms of land and population. They are one of the few threads that I think absolutely would deserve more than the usual province numbers

What do you guys think? Representing a thread needs to be done in a way that is not sugarcoated but also not demonised meta wise. A story like Tachibana Go I think has many elements that would be accurate to how to represent numbers with the monthly Gold aspect, and the tribalism.

>>43846692
Hey vnugboi. I just wanted to say that I now consider my kokowife to be my kamioshi. Thank you for showing me to her. I FUCKING love her, her fat tits, cute voice, adorable dorky personality, based taste, and fuck I just wanna passionately love and sex this girl

>>43881932
"MOST INFLUENTIAL THREAD" isn't a claim. It's their version of "Rent Free" when other threads accuse any random schizo of being a /#/ raid.
It's a meme, not an actual belief.

>>43868106
Ah right, almost forgot. You mentioned you lost two oshis in the last month. Whomst?

Local squirrel converts to Korean cult

butt

>>43881932
The abacus is a holy instrument and no self respecting numberfag would be caught without one on their person at all times, societal structure might be centered around those with the largest amount of wealth but I think they'd be more likely to structure themselves on some sort of quantic divinity where holy scribes divine the number gain of various chuubas from higher realms and different houses battle against each other to prove which is superior and who has the right to rule, actual numbers and numerics divined could be stuff like total ccv, akasupa count, sub count, membership count, there'd be no doubt debate over which is the superior metric to determine which god is superior but obviously ones like kobo, vox, salome, gura, and pekora are extremely present and vocal. Coco and Rushia might have an effect on the civilization as dieties who achieved a metric of being THE BIGGEST, and that could have some sort of magical effect in the same way that Monoe has. General goal of numberfag society is to quantify objective reality to understand the divine equation which will make all things and all variables comprehensive to determine, objectively, which chuuba is the greatest and one true god above all others.
They'd probably be amongst the biggest importers of slaves in the world with battle tactics that rely on overwhelming numbers for the most part, perhaps they could have soldiers or slaves like those Unsullied from game of thrones who feel absolutely nothing. Their biggest benefit is resource management, you'd never be able to outsmart a numberfag warlord in terms of supplies or any variable miscalculation and they'd be quick to exploit any flaws you have in your supply lines. If a numberfag thinks that they have enough food and guns to hold a position than they're not likely to be wrong, you can obviously surprise them with ambushes, reinforcements, and battle power but never in terms of basic numerics.
Magic could have several schools based on the Akasupa ranging from Blue spells to Red spells in ranks of how powerful they are and a war mage will always pull out of combat before they run out of power. What these spells do is kind of up for grabs, but I think the rearrangement of particles or the chemical balance of a person might be a fun look at it.

Not yet! CLEAR!

>>43877179
Sukh sounds like a chad, neat. Thanks for the story

>>43887617
Also, most of this also applies to the sci fi as well except it would probably be a generalized number cult with a few isolated territories with little relation to one another. Maybe a bit of Iron Hands or Mechanus influence in terms of shoving machines in their brains to think in a more numeric fashion, make instant big calculations to further shit on someone elses oshi, might be good as an additional crew member.

Come on, CLEAR

A group of scholars, from ancient times,
Loved numbers, and their wondrous chimes,
With abacuses in hand, and spells to cast,
They studied math, with an unyielding grasp.

Yellow and red, were their favored hues,
And with spells of power, they could diffuse,
The secrets of numbers, and all their ways,
Unlocking the mysteries, of ancient days.

With their abacuses, they counted on,
To guide them through, each math problem,
Their fingers deftly moved, with every bead,
Adding and subtracting, with an incredible speed.

And with each spell, they cast with care,
They'd watch as yellow and red, filled the air,
A magical display, for all to see,
A sign of their knowledge, and their mystery.

But as time passed, their order grew thin,
Their secrets lost, and their spells did dim,
Their abacuses, long forgotten,
Their love for numbers, all but rotten.

Yet their legacy lived on, in a way,
For their love of numbers, never did sway,
Their passion, a flame that never died,
A reminder of their brilliance, never to be denied.

I actually asked it to change the ending because the original one was kinda lame

>>43897701
Yeah that shit made no damn sense

A group of people, with tails like squirrels,
Were sailing the seas, with an aim to unfurl,
A map to new lands, where nuts grew aplenty,
A quest for flavors, both sweet and nutty.

Their ship, a vessel, of wood and might,
Carried them through, both day and night,
And with each gust, their tails would sway,
As they journeyed forth, without delay.

And then one day, as the sun shone bright,
They spied a new land, with a sense of delight,
A forest of nuts, tall and grand,
A sight to behold, in this faraway land.

Their ship docked, and they stepped ashore,
Their tails in the air, they explored,
The forest of nuts, that lay ahead,
A bounty of flavors, to be fed.

And so they gathered, both young and old,
The nuts that they found, worth their weight in gold,
And with each bite, their tails did wag,
As they savored the flavors, without a lag.

For these people, with tails so unique,
Nuts were their passion, their flavor peak,
And as they sailed, to new lands unknown,
They found their treasure, in nuts that shone.

Thank you! The emblem’s made by four four-pointed stars intersecting to form the fifth (which also is the one with the same ratio as V&U’s four-pointed star) so I imagine it was first adopted by a union of four polities. It’s also designed with high contrast in mind since the very different light between Sestag’s natural light and the colonies’ lighting makes the people realize symbols need to be designed in a such a way that it’s distinct no matter the lighting they’re in. The 4 stars are meant to be in dark shade regardless of lighting while the fifth is meant to be in light shade so it’s always visible no matter the lighting condition. I think the emblem might actually look more colorful when transplanted from their natural environment, like if you shine a Sun-like light on one that’s meant for Sestag’s lighting condition, the dark shade would look blue while the light shade would look red as a red dwarf star almost gives off no blue light. The reverse might be true if space /vnug/ ever comes to colonize a world around a high-mass star that gives off mostly blue light

>>43882063
I’m glad to hear that! Kokone’s very lovely and comfy and even though I like Liora more I admit Kokone generally has better taste (Liora herself admits that she has a “basic bitch taste”)

>>43904068
Based Sestagians realize contrast is an important part of graphic design thanks to their star. I recall reading in a doc about color composition saying that anything you design should look great in greyscale just as much as in color. Varying lighting conditions were a part of it, though there's also a thing with the brain noticing contrasts in value differently to contrasts in hue.

On a warm summer's night, a traveler led his horse
Up a thin path, rocky and coarse.
A lone tree up ahead, his destination,
Where he planned to rest until the next light of dawn's creation.

But as he neared the tree, a stranger appeared,
A thin man with a lantern and a red scarf, unfeared.
He greeted the traveler with a cheerful tone,
As the horse's wounded ankle the stranger had shown.

The stranger spoke of his oshi and asked about the traveler's beliefs,
Offering women, power, and money, but the traveler's response brought no relief.
The stranger grew agitated by the silence of his new acquaintance,
But he continued to offer gifts with an unyielding perseverance.

And with a snap of his fingers, the stranger brought a polar bear,
Replacing the injured horse, causing the traveler to stare.
But even then, the traveler's response was the same,
Not swayed by the stranger's offers of wealth and fame.

The stranger chuckled at the traveler's indifference,
As the polar bear walked with an effortless elegance.
But the traveler remained unfazed, his silence unbroken,
As they continued on their path, each with their own unspoken.

And so they walked under the moon's glow,
The stranger with his lantern and the traveler with his quiet flow.
Until they reached the lone tree up top,
Where the traveler could rest and the stranger's offers could stop.

Rod vision’s more sensitive than cone vision so that makes sense! I should do more reps on other possible photopigments to see if I can give my people a more extended visible spectrum
In both /vnug/ I always try to imagine how living in unusual conditions might have an effect on the people! (although I guess /vnug/ in the main setting’s more mundane considering actual people live in similar climate) since the environment probably determine our body and mind more than anything else. Then again space /vnug/ probably retains enough technology that it has always been able to maintain a somewhat familiar indoor environment even if it might not always be consistent. One interesting thing about the difference in lighting’s that warning lights in space /vnug/ would be blue instead of red because in addition to human eyes being the most sensitive to blue, it’s also a color that’s rarely seen under Sestag’s starlight so people raised in the system will learn to identify blue light as something artificial i.e. safe
I’m also trying to brainstorm the other planets in the system since I think I should move manmade stuff like technology into a central rentry about space /vnug/ instead of putting them in planet lore. So far I decided that the system will have a super Mercury orbiting the closest around the star (barring a vulcanoid belt) with enough iron in the system to create fields of graphite and diamond. It would have lakes and rivers of iron and nickel carbonyl if not for the fact that the substellar hemisphere’s as hot as an industrial oven. I think that means the metal carbonyl will be concentrated around the twilight zone as it rains down in the region where temperature's vaguely habitable. Then again the atmosphere’s almost non-existent due to the intense solar flares and is mostly carbon monoxide that snows down further into the midnight zone. I think it might end up being space /vnug/’s solid and liquid mining center since it has ample supply of metal and carbon, energy from the sun (assuming solar panels won’t get destroyed by solar flares and stellar wind), and it not having an atmosphere means taking off to the outer planets would be trivial. It might also use the excess energy to power orbital laser arrays that can be used to facilitate solar sail transport
Another planet would be a gas dwarf/super Earth further away from the star. Its average temperature is like -170 F so it should look pastel pink with a ring which I like! I imagine it to be a major source of helium-3 during the early days of space /vnug/ in space (maybe superseded by a larger gas giant further out? It would also help prevent it from migrating too close to the star and destroying all the terrestrial planets) but it might have since become a major trading hub with the outside world as it’s less vulnerable to solar flares and has abundant hydrogen, helium, and water for resupply

Squirrel planet?

>>43909205
Would you really wish for such a plight upon this galaxy?

How is everyone? I'm enjoying the tornado weather. I'm almost done with my Metroid fix.

>>43909320
Yes. sounds funny

>>43908154
>vulcanoid belt
TIL about those. Interesting idea, those would make for ideal material to get started on a dyson swarm, since they're already close to the potential well.
That super mercury sounds really fun and exotic! Your descriptions bring really vivid visuals to mind, especially the idea of metal carbonyl rains. Gotta check if any scientific artists have made visualizations of something like that. Weird stuff raining down is one of my favorite elements of speculative planetology. I think I want a planet that is somewhere in between a rocky planet and an ice giant where diamond rains can be observed.
Also, I think you want at least one gas giant somewhere in your system, iirc having one of those has a huge impact on reducing the frequency of life-disrupting asteroid impacts on planets on the inside of a solar system, though I'm not sure if that applies mostly to larger main sequence star systems or also to red dwarf systems.

>>43909205
Does the galaxy really deserve such a wonder?

The iron planet (which is apparently also a company that sells heavy equipment?) idea has always interested me ever since I first heard of it so I try to put it in my sci-fi setting whenever possible! The fact that it would be helpful for heavy industries is a nice surprise too. Since I don’t think red dwarf systems usually have a lot of iron in the protoplanetary disc I imagine it forming in a way similar to how Mercury might’ve formed, hence the vulcanoid asteroids might’ve been remnants of the collisions that didn’t get thrown out of the system or into the star that or space /vnug/ is not the first technological civilization to live in this system and they were working on a Dyson swarm or something similar
I don’t think I see many art for terrestrial iron planets. Most relevant art seems to be for hot gas giants like WASP-67b (which rains molten iron instead and has a bit too much air to my liking) or some generic lava planets. I think my iron planet might remain geologically active though since it helps stabilize the environment and produce a constant supply of CO. Maybe it’s caused by tidal heating from other planets?
I think gas giants are probably a constant for most solar systems unless it got ejected by passer-by stars although I feel the idea of them helping habitability is a bit questionable since chances are they can also throw asteroids into the inner system. I think at least one planets in Sestag system will be gassy but I haven’t decided if I want another one bigger and further away. It would be easier to mine the gas from bigger and colder ones and I imagine having two gas giants would help stop them from migrating too close to the star
Also I did some brief reps for infrared vision! It seems RL animals with IR vision relies on something called pit organs to help them sense infrared but I can’t find a lot of information on actual photoreceptors for IR vision. I guess if I go with the pit organ idea then space palkyries would have something that looks like freckles that allow them to “see” infrared in some way. I also did some reading on UV detection but I don’t know if actual vision’s required given its limited use. Maybe some non-visual sensing would be useful?

>>43911307
>The /vnug/ precursor civilization
Could be fun! The 2 million years old mecha is a trope for a reason.
True, properly looking up the topic, it seems the "Jupiter the Protector" thing might have been more a Pop Sci thing than a rigorous fact. Though yet other sources say redirecting objects towards the inner solar system could be beneficial by bringing sources of water like comets to the planets. I guess this is still a debated subject.
Yeah, pit organs, snakes got those! They would make sense for a people that lives in eternal twilight. As for UV, maybe the skin could be able to detect it? Like feeling light with your sense of touch, or a unique kind of tingling. If UV emissions start climbing before a flare, that could be a nice way to sense one is coming. Proper UV vision might be more useful in a world orbiting a blue star, where a large portion of the light is UV. Maybe you could have an atmosphere that blocks a lot of the visible spectrum, but lets more UV through? Relative to Earth's atmosphere, at least.

Would anyone be upset if I hand waved chuubanite having some gravity effects? The /uuu/ swarm floating in space would be fine without serious gravity, but we'd still like to have something of an atmosphere without centrifugal (or centripetal if you want to be nitpicky) mechanisms...

>>43913157
I mean...everything has gravity. and the more mass it has, the more gravity it has. Just make the swarm really big, problem solved.

>>43912379
I thought about putting UV receptors in the skin before but I don’t know if itchy skin goes well with “hide from the sun in 20 seconds or perish” goes well together… maybe a sensation that’s less distracting could be useful
Living under a blue sun would make UV vision useful! It seems to be something easier to achieve with actual photopigments since some animals on Earth already can see UV light in some way
I think space palkyries might end up looking (even) more bestial than their main timeline counterpart as a result of the makers of the colony ship engineering a bunch of useful traits into them. They’re probably based on some form of half-palkyrie half-elf with non-human traits from both side, but now they also have some form of IR vision and UV detection that might also come with slit-like pupil for the dim light condition that they might also receive from receiving rattlesnake traits. I guess that would make them good at hunting in pre-modern times but I don’t know if they would have a phase like that

>>43913497
The size you need to keep an atmosphere, not to mention keep it during propulsion, is much larger than I'd like to make the swarm

>>43913157
Nah, given sci-fiey artificial gravity is in the cards I think it would be totally fine to let chuubanite have the capability for the same. If an autists wants to know how it works, we can say the chuubanite can bend space time with same mechanics as when a catalognaut opens a wormhole for FTL travel. Gravitational force is basically following a warped space time.
>>43913497 is also a possibility, though to get 1G of force you'd need quite a humongous ship, or get some bio-micro-blackholes going kek.

>>43914086
I don’t know much about it but since chuubanite-generated gravity doesn’t come from the mass, won’t that mean the swarm won’t need to be nearly as large to maintain an atmosphere?

>>43913780
It's kinda hard to imagine a sense we don't have, but it doesn't necessarily have to be a feeling we associate with skin. Maybe if UV passes a certain threshold, they'd feel something more like a full body frisson, like when you strongly feel like something is watching you in the shadows (not sure if you've ever been in that situation, but it's a very strong natural instinct). It could also naturally cause the release of stress and adrenalin hormones, driving the association with mortal danger, and preparing the body for physical exertion as it rushes to safety.
Ah, only tangentially related, but did you know mantis shrimps have 16 different photoreceptors for some reason, including some specifically for polarized light?
Space Palkyries are sounding cooler and cooler, I like slit pupils on creatures...

>>43907222
God, AI is scary

>>43914977
Frisson could work! I think I’ll add that in! It does make any space palkyrie travelers really uneasy if they ever visit a place under blue sun or maybe even yellow sun if the world itself doesn’t have a thick ozone layer though, so I guess that (once again) adds to the mythos of them being struck somewhere faraway from home and can’t return again

>>43915456
Palkyries in foreign worlds would be really into parasols and/or clothing that covers a lot of skin... Cute.

>>43915065
Were you the author? I didnt read the story before feeding it, just the poem after, but I had to go make sure the AI wasn't nuts after I saw it was talking about a polar bear, lol. Did read the story afterward though, it was interesting stuff.

Big fancy hats would be nice too… since I don’t imagine many other places find walking around in powered hardsuit normal
Kinda makes me want to make them space pirates too but at the same time I want to have non-violent relationship with other people

>>43916269
I'm sure you could find some space pirate groups/factions in any given population, lots of things can turn sentient beings to crime. Especially out in interplanetary space, it's easy to make a sovereign pirate republic (population: 300) in the middle of some asteroid belt.

So I found out this is a thing.

https://en.wikipedia.org//wiki/Bark_bread

Its used in famines. Still it gives options for countries that can't produce grains.

>>43922094
In a far-off land, so long ago,
A clever cook made bread from bark, you know!
He mixed and stirred with all his might,
Until his dough was fluffy and light.

He baked it up in a hot, hot fire,
And when it was done, he didn't tire,
Of sharing his bark bread with one and all,
Who came to taste, and heard his call.

At first, they were hesitant, to give it a try,
But with one bite, they let out a sigh,
For the bark bread was tasty, it was true,
And all who ate it, wanted more than a few.

It wasn't wheat or rye or corn,
But from a tree, this bread was born,
And though it might sound quite bizarre,
It was a snack that would take you far.

With a little jam or maybe some cheese,
You'd be surprised how it could please,
And so, my friend, I say to you,
Give bark bread a chance, it might just do.

>>43925618
Damn, I want some bark bread now...

With a click and a tap, and a message sent,
I say goodnight to friends, on the internet,
From faraway lands, they come to say,
Goodnight to me, at the end of the day.

Some are just starting, their day anew,
While others are ending, their work to do,
But we all come together, in this digital space,
To share our lives, and embrace the grace.

With a wave and a smile, and a heart so true,
I say goodnight to my friends, from me to you,
From every corner of the world, we gather here,
To share our stories, and wipe away the tear.

Through the screens and the wires, we connect,
A web of friendships, we cannot neglect,
For in this digital world, we find a place,
To come together, and feel the embrace.

And so I say goodnight, with a final word,
To my friends around the world, and all they've heard,
May your dreams be sweet, and your hearts so light,
As we say goodnight, and end this night.

So if I wanted to make a planet full of shion worshipping magic lolis and shotas, can I just make it magic without chuubanite? I guess their wands would be chuubanite and they'd just be so advanced they can do whatever

>>43944403
Welcome!
The idea of this setting (or I guess these settings) is that magic comes from chuubanite, which channels power from the heavenly realm (the vtubers and their world, to massively simplify things), so magic without chuubanite won't be possible. That said, there are numerous ways that such power can manifest so you should be able to reconcile both systems without much issues.

>>43944403

Preoccupied from what I've heard
Though the flavor is lost when you can just cook pre grown meat for space travel and skin rugs decompress when you try to hang em on space ships. Maybe they could result in bio cults or somethin, like an all in on slanesshi stuff. Slanessh actually does make alot of sense as an influence, too much sense in fact. Maybe their portable meat bags are derived from criminals or they're really into turning people into flesh warped beasts, guess it depends on which type of meat cult develops.

You're pretty good at architecture and building plans too.

I try to keep in mind what's realistic to build with the current materials. You can design what ever building you want but that doesn't mean the materials will hold it. Stone and bricks can be heavy. Without steel or duraluminum you can't support tall buildings.

Bread dog. Forgor to keep taking off trip. Also I've been thinking about elven architechture for own fantasy worldbuilding stuff. An elf's childhood lasts 212 years. So I've been thinking of how elves weave trees for hundreds of years to build homes and cities. Either that or they use magic.

I would like some esoteric pseudo science empires and histories to research for lore purposes if any one would be so kind, preferably stuff like the finno korean hyperwar

>>43969621
In a land so green and pure,
There stood a village, so obscure,
Where the buildings, oh so grand,
Were not built, but grown by hand.

The villagers, a clever bunch,
Used their knowledge, to make a hunch,
To grow their buildings, from tree and vine,
A vision, so unique and so divine.

They shaped and trained, the trees they grew,
Into forms, both old and new,
A church, a house, a market square,
All made from trees, with love and care.

The leaves and branches, so intertwined,
Made the walls, both strong and fine,
And as the trees grew tall and wide,
The buildings stood, with great pride.

And in the spring, when the buds did bloom,
The village came to life, with such a boom,
The colors and scents, so sweet and pure,
Made the village, a wonder to allure.

For in this village, trees and people unite,
A harmony so rare, and oh so right,
A vision of a world, that could be so bright,
Where nature and man, can live in delight.

CLEAR!
