To the Maag Architect: "You cannot dig through sand easily, and the same for glass. This is why a desert is not the ideal area for mining. Metal is another option for construction, although it may be costly. I suggest you seek out the god of portals, for those may be of use for allowing such as you to build colonies on areas where mining is much easier, for instance in the dwarven mountains."

((You missed my first actionpost))

Indeed I did. It will be edited in.

((Stirk, you messed up income calculations))

((Wait, why is my mountain made out of sand? It's supposed to be made out of rocks, like pretty much every mountain in existence. I thought it was obvious enough that I wouldn't need to specify, especially after I inspected the crust to find any damage. I need to know if it's really going to remain sandstone before I can do anything.))

The vision and sheer scale of this tower pleases me! Be blessed ye builders!

2 power to continue blessing the workers on the tower.

1 Essence to stabilize the Space Dungeon portals. ((I was hoping I'd stop when I could make as many portals as I could stably))

((I would like to know this as well. Deserts always have a huge rocklayer under them. Why the shit is the whole thing sand?))

((Yeah, and since the mountain is the tallest in the world, how is that supposed to support itself and not fall apart if it's made out of sand?))

[~Neri]

((Exactly!))

The Loi'naaryt seem to be doing well, for a race that doesn't seem to exist?

((I created them on tick four:

Moi'aaty considers the Ironwood forests that he had raised, observing the rust coloured bark on older trees and the silvery grey of new growth.

Yes. This shall do nicely.

Moi'aaty creates a new race of mortals, the Loi'naaryt

Spoiler: Loi'naaryt (click to show/hide)

These are the six legged tauric race I price checked earlier. They mostly live in the Ironwood forests, up in the trees. In addition to their tauric lower bodies, they have a humanoid upper body with the heads and skin/scales/fur/feathers of many of the native wildlife.

Despite males outnumbering females three to one, the Loi'naaryt societies are female dominated, with well defined yet flexible hierarchies. Their relationships with the surrounding forests is relatively druidistic, with foraging parties sent to gather edible plants and hunt game using broken Ironwood branches, with the priests tending to the forest itself.

Create 6E worth of Loi'naaryt, spread across all three world fragments.

Arise Loi'naaryt, my children born of my own Essence and Crux. Arise and tend to the Ironwoods that are your homes and cradles. Be aware that there are other gods besides me, and other mortal races besides yourselves. How they will react to your existence has yet to be seen.

Tick 5: Penguins?

The Loi'naaryt are created and given the basics of tool use! They begin to make their homes deep in the Ironwood forests of the planets (-6E

So, they do indeed exist.))

((That is why you didn't have any crust damage. Trying to force a Mountain to grow like that near any civilizations would end up being devastating if done correctly. So, instead, the mechanism of mountain building was taking grains of sand from around the world and essentially teleporting them into the pile, which allows them to stay after the Power wears out, continues to look like a dune and fit in with the desert, and doesn't explode the planet into a new fragment.))

((Yeah, and since the mountain is the tallest in the world, how is that supposed to support itself and not fall apart if it's made out of sand?))

((The same way it works in all fiction settings: A God did it.))

((Whatever. The Mountain thing really isn't that important, if there is a backlash against it being formed of sand I could just transform it into sedimentary rock, which could be done with a similar mechanism but different materials.))

((Yeah, I'd rather have it made out of stone please. The whole point of the mountain was to be an access to the stone crust.))

((Well I tried doing what you had wanted, the main problem was I had no idea what it was that you actually wanted it for  .))

Turns out the mountain had actually been a conglomerate of sedimentary rock the entire time! There is several feet to several meters of sand covering it, the story that it was completely made of sand was simply a myth created by slow-thinking Saag who had come to false conclusions after accidentally digging into a sand-dune instead, while drunk. The Aag civilizations proceed to dig a quarry/temple into the side of the mountain, decorating it with glass. It is dark inside the temple, with no real way of bringing light inside practically.

May I suggest mirrors?

"...what would you like us to call you...little, risen, Stoneling...?...I would think that you deserve...a name of some sort...?..."

Initiate the planting of three new Great Trees with 1 Power each, and use 1 Power each to help them grow with weather manipulation until they can do so fairly well on their own. One will be planted by a shoreline. Another will be planted in a swamp. The last will be planted deeper in the desert, and will be a Great Mana Tree, capable of using it's own form of Great Magic, that few other Great things can. After all, it's filled with magical energy. As a result, it can accomplish almost any form of mortal magic, and some more on top of that (basic, usually big things, but especially growth magic, landscape manipulation, and weather manipulation. They cannot use their growth magic on themselves to do large permanent growth, but they can use it defensively(explosive growth beneath attacker's feet, for example).

Create/Enable the Root Drills, and advise the Saplings to ask the Stones for knowledge of metal working and the like.
