"Question there... Could an industrial enclined god build a castle with your Faithful building blocks?"

[tntey]

Oppose the world tree

[Leonardo8]

"Greetings Nyxus, I admire your shape. I am Zuzake god of the Life and the Oceans. Did you know that the ocean is so deep that it's bottom is drenched in pure darkness. Only the life down there emits light. Some even use the darkness and light to lure their prey... I think you and I shall get along well."

Nyxus flutter around "Oh.. t-thanks. Yes, i definitely agree on that. Oceans can hide many mysteries in their dephts. I'd like to see them abundant on the world tree."
Vote for a at least a 50-66% water world.

The form of a dragon coalesces from a cloud of emeralds.

The dragon yawns.

"How can nonexistence be so tiring?"

[TheBiggerFish]

"Boring.  No crafts to make.  Nothing to do.  Tiresome, yes."

"When there is nothing to industrialize and no nature to ravage, life can become quite boring. I am Cornealis Carnegie by the way." Cornealis tips his top hat at the dragon.

The dragon bows his head. "I am Lord Azem Goldfather. A pleasure."

"Question there... Could an industrial enclined god build a castle with your Faithful building blocks?"

The Library projects predicted results for a scenario where mortals build a castle out of Faithful (with no godly intervention occurring):

A meteor crash lands near a developing medieval village. Terrified villagers report this to the local government, and specialists are sent to the meteor to investigate it. After determining that this meteor is made of a hard material that produces more of itself, the specialists recommend the use of Faithful in construction. They are unaware of the sapience of the Faithful.

By inserting a cube of Faithful into a mold, which then reproduces to fill it, a castle of Faithful is constructed. Infrastructure is built around it. After a few years, though, the Faithful in the castle (which are unaware that they are surrounded by sapient beings) decide that they want to have more space to reproduce. The Faithful in the castle detatch their lowermost layer, which blasts the castle out of its mold and lands it quite a fair distance away.

Free from the mold, the Faithful spread across the planet like a cancerous growth. An effort to destroy the colony is made by the resident mortals, but the Faithful spread faster than they are destroyed.

Finally, after 1/4 of the planet is covered by the colony, the resident mortals develop a way to communicate with the Faithful colony. Horrified by what they have unknowingly done to the local population, the Faithful agree to leave the planet. The bottom-most layer of Faithful launches the rest of the colony upwards, then commits mass-suicide. The colony soars off of the planet, leaving the atmosphere. Cheers come from the resident mortals, matched by mental cheers from the Faithful colony.

But it is not enough. The gravity of the planet pulls the Faithful colony back in. Perhaps if the outermost-layer of Faithful were as used to space travel as their ancestors, they would have had a sensitive enough sense of touch to feel the direction of the space-dust hitting them coming from a different direction, and the colony could have ejected another layer to save itself. Sadly, they were not used to space travel, and they only realized that something went wrong when the outer-most Faithful detected the presence of the atmosphere again, moments before their demise. The Faithful colony crashed into the planet, destroying all sentient life-forms on it.

The simulation ends there.

The Library copies a recording of this simulation into its databanks, labeling it "The Tragedy of the Faithful Castle".

[hector13]

Ceartas shakes his head sadly.

"That simulation was flawed right from the start. We all know the Faithful are sapient, why would we keep such a thing from our creations?

How were the Faithful unaware they were surrounded by sapient beings, when those sapient beings were using them as building materials? Nobody constructs a building and then just abandons it, that would be stupid.

Perhaps you just wanted to say no. Why couldn't you just say no?"

Amber breathes a sigh  of annoyance and blinks before taking a small ball of the dark green flame and  juggling it with some difficulty.
"Wonder when this world building will start."
