In other news, the residents of my medieval world seems to have gone completely and utterly bonkers. They keep capturing procedurally-generated creatures and having glorified dogfights with them instead of killing each other in a respectable manner.

Literal dogfights? Are they monster-baiting?

Nah, they're making the monsters fight each other instead of going to war. There's some more conventional dogfighting going on, too, but that looks like it might be skill grinding for the apprentices.

But that's suitably dwarfy....I mean, slightly more dwarfy than usual, but definitely dwarfy.

I guess it is pretty dwarfy, when you think about it. The thing is, though, that they're doing this instead of going to war.

I mean, come on! They've tamed the deadliest, most savage beasts in all the world, and yet they haven't used them to raze so much as a single village? What's up with that?

Drop some pocket dimension tech in there and see what happens.

@Whisperling:Look in the civ relationships screen.  There might not be anyone for them to go to war WITH.

Manufacture some wooden casus belli, maybe?

48x48x48x48 tileset released, work in progress...

[MoonyTheHuman]

Wow, a 4D tileset, is that for that new species of aliens in the real world? cuz i dont think it would be too useful for us

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

No, it's that newfangled 3.5D glasses technology. Rotates about everything constantly and virtually. It's either that or you need TWO keys to move through the z- and w-axes.

[TheBiggerFish]

Isn't that the time travel thing though?  The xbyxbyxbyx tilesets.

[Dirst]

With 3.5D gear you don't have a true W axis (also colloquially called a T axis for "time"), but each item is rendered with a W attribute to give a sense of recognition/oddness/deja-vu as if you're seeing it from a particular character's experience.  The really tricky part is getting the transparency right so the game can overlay the correct "experience."  When the W data is opaque in the tileset, a given item (for example, a giant cave spider web) will ALWAYS register with the same level of recognition no water what happens in the game, and some people get headaches from that.

This new tileset, from the what I've seen so far, does the W transparency very well.

I decided to no longer participate in the higher-dimensional community fort games, a while ago, due to rather gittish hyperdimensional architecture laid down as a trap to both future and past participants, by a certain party...

I won't name them, but I think you know¹ very well who the hyperspherical bastardⁱ concerned is.


¹ Will know/have known/will have known/will eventually find^j to be known all along.
ⁱ Looks like a bastard, no matter which direction or time you look at them...
^j Though previously indeterminate.

Wait, you're only using three spacial dimensions? When did that happen?

There is a legacy mode for people with older hardware.  Or who just enjoy a challenge.  Look through the settings and you'll see something called [PRINT_MODE:NEURAL], [PRINT_MODE:OMNI] or [PRINT_MODE:UNIVERSAL].  Change it to [PRINT_MODE:3D] to go old-school.

so I booted up a new universe and was looking through myth mode and looking through all 95 solar systems, and looking though the many planets in them, many of which have their own ecosystem,physics,religous,civs,rekigions,items,materials and other stuff, and I just thought isn't there too much detail?

[Egan_BW]

Haha, you think that's a lot of detail? You havent found the multiversal quality dial yet, have you?

[pikachu17]

and you haven't found the "so many universes that if it had one more universe computer would crash" option, have you?

[NullForceOmega]

I must be getting a bit pampered up here on the Hellstar, I haven't run a universe gen with less than [ACTUAL] for stars or galaxies in at least five years...  I can even run full causality branching.
