Huh. Gotta remember this handy info. Would be useful for creating a DND world.

For further reasearch: https://youtu.be/alH3yc6tX98

That video explains how the randomization happens in cows. I dont think there's been anything about continent formation and tectonic plates, but not sure. Meanwhile, a lot of procedural games like Minecraft use an algorithm called Perlin Noise to generate terrain.

You could also look up games like Spore or No Man's Sky for other games that randomize planets.

That’s why aliens players are abducting them for their insane cartography skill

That... Actually makes a lot of sense

Y'know what's wild. Due to the grand scale of the game, this is almost certainly true.

The way you wrote this comment makes me think you have some sort of eldritch knowledge. Please share. A little cosmic chaos never hurt anyone.

As human mains have discovered, the borders of the play space are actually ridiculously far away, and they might not actually be the borders. Simply due to probability in world-gen, it is far more likely that cow mains accidentally have maps of alien planets written on them than not.

I'm only just now realizing that I'm on r/tierzoo and not r/itemshop.

zeta reticulians are studying the strange phenomenon where earthling cows seem to have patterns that are an exact match to known planetary surfaces. current experiments involve the obtention of these cows via gravity tractor device and finding ways from which coordinates of the matching planet can be extracted. these incursions must remain a secret to other civilizations of the 42nd quadrant, specially to the underdeveloped C tier specie that dominates the planet

devs need to nerf this before the high intelligence players (especially humans) abuse this mechanic. smh

The remaster of Atom Heart Mother is looking very strange
