Rolepgeek, would you amenable to a long vertical rod sun, rather than a long vertical spiral sun?
If that's the compromise we must come to, sure.

I mean, honestly, we can do seasons simply by making the torus orbit a point offset from the sun itself, and turn slowly.

Alright, Stirk, what about 1% of it's original size per millenium? How much would it cost as a linear growth?

Stirk, do we have to specify that sapient creatures worship us, at additional essence cost, or is that included automagically when we create them, or what? How exactly do we get from Point A: "creating intelligent creatures" to Point B: "they start worshipping us"

Probably feats that would make them want to worship you.

Eh, you have fifteen people willing to help you out if you need it  :P. Most of us managed to play DF, after all.

Sapient species automatically start worshiping their creator(s) with high worship quality. Over time, as the species grow, the quality will very. Other species will likely start worshiping you, while some sapients of the species you make will start worshiping other Gods. Worship is a quality inherent in mortal souls.

Stirk, could I add a dietary restriction to creatures to reduce their essence cost?

For example, "chitinball ants (placeholder name for my planned sapient ants), can only digest and metabolize the nectar produced by chitinballs"

Yes, any kind of weakness can lower the price. That would probably lower it by ~1E, since that is probably what they would have eaten anyway.

Well I was planning to spread chitinballs throughout the larger world, and with planned ants having the ability to make portals, and thus excellent mobility, they could range throughout most of the world to get food, and would have no real reason to stay near or in chitinballs. This is my way of trying to tie them down to the chitinballs.

$$$

Price check on a set of four large towers that direct sunlight as focused lasers against foes.
Price check on a sun, with two moderately sized planets with a moon each.
Price check on an Essence vault of sorts that can be used to save Essence outside of a god's body.

At what age will the mortal races start off? Medieval stasis? Bronze age? Neolithic age?

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

Makes sense, I don't see why they would be born with any technological knowledge. I suppose you could give them this knowledge yourself, but that would probably cost some additional essence.

All fanfics are heresy, each and every one, especially the shipping ones. Those are by far the worst.
