demizeevery time I watch a Gneiss Name video I find myself wanting to study geology and make a world generator [for Minecraft or something] that generates a world by doing a full simulation of real-life geologic formation processes
Richard Barrell@demize don't some of them do that? I think this is what people mean when they use the term "erosion" in procgen contexts? Obviously with varying levels of simulation detail.
@demize offhand I believe Dwarf Fortress does something like this for example to give you plausible feeling mountain ranges into which to delve too greedily and too deep.
@0x2ba22e11 oh some games do some level of it but, like
I want the most realistic possible, fluid simulations from magma, billions of years of geologic simulation, resulting in highly accurate formations even if it makes worldgen take ages :p
@demize play Dwarf Fortress! :)
