the space plant trams could come in three types: above-rail, beside-rail, and below-rail. all three would be frictionless because superconductivity. if they have flux pinning there'd have to be heaters/coolers (magic or tech)-warm it up to lock it in place, cool it down to let it move again.
I'm gonna go ahead and make that Town Square thing that was being discussed a few pages back. Will link E: here ya go
hah there's apparently solar panels that let through light that's exactly in the range of grow lamp light, making them perfect as a greenhouse material they're also neon magenta
by the way a robot has been made that flies like a bat! it has silicone wings. the article pointed out that in the future, batbots could be useful in construction sites, quietly flying around to check that everything was in place. or they could go into disaster zones. or, in the case of kintsugi: batbots with levitating carts, harvesting trees in groups (tree harvests are much easier when you can fly!)
Yeah, the whole Kintsugi In Space thing has always had magic/science running alongside. Part of the Worldbuildign has been that Humanity as a whole came to magic later than, say, Space Elves.
speaking of other species i have some ideas for aliens species that we could have set up as like...part of a Species Library with the idea being, you can add any, you can use any, and any can be mentioned? so like. maybe your character had a fling with a xhera'fi. maybe a xylian queen is visiting and you can offhandedly mention teaching a xylian broodling how to cook. maybe your character is a jetbird. maybe your character was raised by a member of a created made-of-magic species like the umdrak. that sort of thing!
@Technicality @palindromordnilap @Wingyl Do you guys want the check out the crater thread to be open, or just us?
And I would say that the announcement was canon. It means people that didn't hear the golf-ball thing can join without questions
(BTW, I'm gonna go to bed soon, so, I'll catch up tomorrow if we start the thread soon. That's not gonna be much of a problem anyway since I won't really do anything until you get there.)
