Greetings, fellow worldbuilders!
It is my pleasure to share with you the exciting news that your terraforming abilities will soon be significantly enhanced. Content yourselves no longer with the damp, moist, irrigating powers of water, or the stale and dry control of the height of land. Today you will wield the power of Hephaestus himself as molten lava pours forth from your fingers across the landscape at will, forming blazing rivers of fire that annihilate everything in their path. Observe the ancient battle between fire and water anew as the lava slows, cools and eventually becomes new foundations of earth, as is the fate of all once our brief spark dims and leaves this world.
Release 0.2.5
Now available using beta branch on steam. Will be released in 1 week, assuming no major breaking bugs
- Added lava
- Basic support for different types of rock that can erode at different speeds
- Fixed bug with key presses occasionally becoming stuck
Next Update
The addition of lava has made some properties of the water simulation that are suboptimal more pronounced, especially the tendency of water to flow the four cardinal directions rather than smoothing following the contours of the land. This will be addressed soon in a small update, as well as some other updates to water behavior.
Discord Server now live
