I had issues with flowlines. They were awfully ugly with my micro continent. So I just set the microcontinent in the rotation file as any other craton, with the line "201 1000.0 90.0 0.0 0.0 200 !" at the beginning, just like we did for the splitting in last video. Worked perfectly so far. I'm now officially halfway through the GPlates tutorial. My brain must be at boiling point currently, so I will do the collisions on another day. Thanks for the tutorial !

Whaou this serie is incredible !!!!!!!

A single river in a temperate desert. I think that has some super cool social implications. I would imagine it to be quite...Special. Because it means it would be the central point of many nomadic populations, that would eventually probably settle here, creating an irrigation society with a good access to the sea. The probable presence of steppe and desert nomads nearby would probably encourage a society of irrigators and merchants, much more stable and less war-like, but again, with constant threats of invasion. The flat terrain would make such places militarely vulnerable. A Supernile has a lot of implications also. Probably, it would create war-torn irrigation societies, with a highly centralized government whenever the system reaches equilibrium. In colder climates, because of the accumulation of snow, spring might be associated culturally with destruction, at least early spring, were melt waters, especially on steap terrain, might create absolutely devastating flooding. In the endoreic bassin that gets a lot, a lot of rain and long, cold winters, spring would be a season of absolute destruction, meltwaters destroying everything in their path, maybe even having macabre spring celebrations.

GURPS Space mentioned!

The Maryland Flag is beautiful

This is amazing!

I‘m still on tectonics but trying to figure out how to go about drawing topography etc. I would like to do those on my iPad as I can use a pen for drawing there and I don‘t have graphic tablet for my laptop. Gplates doesn‘t work there unfortunately but that‘s ok. But can anyone recommend a good mobile app for drawing topography? Illustrator does have a mobile version, but it‘s very expensive, so I‘m looking for alternatives. I would also love an alternative to blender, too, since it doesn‘t seem to have a mobile version either.

I <3 you two’s dynamic.

Just a small bit of feedback, the canyon you had coming from the Northern Inland Sea is topographically below all the land, around it (both upstream and downstream) which doesn't if its supposed to have been cut by waterflow from the big lakes. Other than that this is a great video!

"Rivers, they never split" there is a river in the US that *does* split. It's more of a creek, but Two Ocean Creek splits *at* the continental divide, and flows into the Pacific and the Atlantic. The topography of the area is funky

Pew this is something to comprehend 😅

I think yesterday I heard that there were about 300 instances of rivers joining in the US, and one arguable instance of them splitting. So you can have rivers split 0.3% of the time. Although I think the reason that split was arguable was partially that it was manmade, and splits arenʼt *stable* and eventually itʼll tend to choose one branch over the other.

For the code of a new mini-continent, you can just copy the coordinates of the one ot was following, they're the same.

it is simmilar to korean way

What if..a planets atmosphere is similar to Clorox but instead of having 1% chlorine but 1% beryllium oxide? Wold skies look Violet? What kind of abominations live there. Infact is it even possible for a creature to have titanium or even sulfur bones??

Earth has rings of space equipment. If it had rings of ice it would look like Saturn

You can resolve the differences in the climate sim if you create the actual planet

Rivers are one of the things I give the most thought about on fantasy maps. Thanks for making me even more neurotic when I see a fantasy map now. 😂

“Sneaky D” made me laugh unreasonably hard.

I have stated before that you are a genius, but will affirm that again! This video was nicely done and made the process very clear. I had always basically made a call on water flow based on local relief, which lets out a lot of long rivers and frankly didn't create great looking river systems. I quickly sketched out the basins using your process and there will be some changes as a result! I have a TON of mountains in my world and so there were also a ton of basins within the major ranges - however, when I considered the elevation ( I used 6000m as an average) where ice was unlikely to melt and rivers do not flow, many of those basins were truncated or disappeared altogether, leaving me with something I'm happy with. Thanks again for your work - I constantly watch these videos and see things I didn't consider and go ' oh, damn...'

The tabaxi language I've been batting around ideas for over the past few years (and still have yet to actually start on 😅) has some fun color distinctions! Red and black are considered shades of the same color, as are green and white - the etymology of red is "blood gray", and green is "leaf white". They also count in base 18, because the equivalent of counting on your fingers is unsheathing one claw at a time.

Will you make deltas too?

You could also update the ocean productivity map you made in the upwelling vid. Large rivers, like the Mississippi for example carry a lot of nutrients with them, that deposit in its delta.

Hi. Always loved your videos (much love) tho I am always... confused by the no branching rivers. I know on a macro world map scale it's true, but since I am a native of Laval, Quebec, Canada, and we have a Lake with 1 inflow and 4 outflows, it always confused me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_of_Two_Mountains . And yes, mapping the flows in that region is very complicated.

Is there any good tools for turning IPA into sounds? All the ones I've found ignore things such as primary stresses and long vowels/consonants. Since I don't trust my own ability to pronounce stuff without hearing it first, making words without some way to hear my attempts is near impossible

I just have to ask a question about the climate, isn't a year in this planet longer than on earth? Wouldn't that make the summers hotter and winters colder

I just have to ask a question about the climate, isn't a year in this planet longer than on earth? Wouldn't that make the summers hotter and winters colder

about the river never splitting, what if the river meats and obstacle that forces it to split? Like a massive fucking stone or something

Large rivers have deltas.

I'm excited to see the Hyper-Nile river become a cultural powerhouse someday.

So, this super-large lake would probably be a center-point for civilisation, with the Southern Smaller perhaps being devided in two by the river, or perhaps the river would be it's center point of a thriving culture. The wet, continental climate might be best suited to the cultivation of buckwheat and rice (some varieties are quite cold hardy and fast growing, through selective breeding by importing a southern original crop, they could reach something better suited, but some varieties of wild rice grow in quite cold climates, becoming a staple food for Cri tribes), maybe oats or millet, but if one wants New World Crops, than potatoes and white beans, with some edible algea as the main vegetable. The staple crops that tolerate a cold, wet climate tend to need to be prepared by drying and boiling, and buckwheat and rice cook in a very similar way (twice the volume of water as grain, until the grain has fully absorbed it), while potatoes and beans might be more versatile. Living in a basin filled with sedimentary rocks and a lot of wetness, might encourage the technology of pottery quite early on. The cold wetness would also encourage the growth of many conniferous nuts, probably becoming staple foods in complement to the rice or potatoes, with swampy vegetables, while black spruce needles would become a steady source of vitamin C. If these cultures would to develop animal husbandry, it would probably be of aquatic animals such as carps and crayfish. Next on the list of livestock that would be useful in such an area would be pigeons and sheep, probably forming in the case such a technology would develop a strong culture for dairy products. While pigs are well-adapted to this climate type, the issue would be terrain, but it doesn't mean that should they discover pig husbandry, they would say no to pork. Should they become cultivators of buckwheat, apiculture would be a must, complemented by the growing of berries to diversify the diet of the bees and make more food for humans. Berries would be easy to forage and cultivate in such a climate, and would probably form a good portion of their diet. Buckwheat is a flowering plant, and also, people need a lot of calories to resist wet cold without modern heating. Polinators might be so precious in fact, that should cities develop, mosses that damage buildings, once ripped off, would be used as catterpillar food. Mushrooms, that enjoy cold and wet environments, might also be part of the diet, eaten as a vegetable, perhaps making it necessary to use less clean water for boiling food, as mushrooms contain a lot of it that releases during cooking. Their cuisine would probably have a nutty flavor profile, based on steaming, lactic acid fermenting and boiling, rich in fat, starches and vitamins. Wild game in this area would probably be of goats and similar agile grazing herbivores, fish, shellfish and bird. In term of native ethnic groups to the nearby mountains, they would likely be adapted to an extremely snowy, wet climate, suggesting straight hair, long nose, a thickset built and slented eyes. Despite the cold climate, they do have the potencial for developping agriculture, or even an advenced antiquity civilisation, since the body of water they are close to would be a point of gathering for many populations of hunter-gatherers, allowing them to exchange ideas, while a stable, rythmic climate would provide the basis for agriculture despite a short growing season. In terms of time devision, they probably would make a devision between early and late spring, and late and early autumn. As the snow melt, it would create truly devastating floods destroying everything in it's wake, while early autumn would be a season of abundance and warmth, the late fall would be desolate and hungry, and would be a time of waiting, as it would make it more difficult and dangerous to practice hunting and fishing until the ice thickens. With that, many technologies would involve making floods less devastating, hence probably encouraging complexe architectural thinking, even prior to agricutlture. Lighter and more robust rafts might allow to save one's life during floods. Rivers after overspilling could look from the outside quite calm, but easily make swimming or paddling a treaturous activity. Houses would have to be at least partially able to float, at least for short periods, and boats would have to be wider and shallower to resist unpredictable currents, while they would still need smaller and narrower ones to traverse narrower and faster streams. In the cold winters, up in the North, when rivers freeze over, they might develop technologies such as sledges to help them carry heavy equipment through the thick blanket of snow. With a terrain offering a diversity of needs, this group would become masters of freshwater travel early in their history, further aiding technological development. The copious amounts of snow would also push for technologies such as sledges to help them travel through this thick mess. Some sledges can reach very high degree of personal comfort and sophistication, like if one looks at the sledges made for the Russian boyars, these were works of immense craftsmenship and menutia, creating objects able to travel relatively easily through the snow while providing passengers with a certain degree of warmth and luxury. If I would to put a fantasy race in their, I'd say dwarves, with a mostly pastoral and merchant lifestyle in the high-lands, while humans would be merchant-agriculturalists of the low-lands. Some undynes might be in there as well. In terms of insulation for tents and homes, their tecnological paths could be for very crude insulation, or very sophistication. The probable sedimentary soil would likely encourage a clay-based insulation techniques such as terracotta and earthware in houses, as well as animal skins. If they would to reach crops for fabric, then nettle, hempt and flax could be used to make very robust tent cloths, that would provide good insulation against rain. In the winter, there won't be such a need since, snow, there's a lot of it, and random branches would probably form sufficient insulation. Wood would also be a material of choice for insulation, especially in permanent homes, perhaps with lits bretons or "indoor cabins" being the most popular options for beds. Having such a wide amount of semi-salty water inland would have interesting implications, in terms of spec evolution, that said, probably providing unique food sources.

Are you gonna do geology?? Rocks!!

this is so cool I love it

"I'm gonna close this ridge up to make a single access point to ezri" Oh no, bro made a conflict zone

Wasn't there something about using failed rifts to help find river basins?

Getting caught up and really looking forward to it.

woooooooooooooooooooo¬!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! new episode!!!!!!!!!!!! how am i late tho?

This has been one of the most awesome videos in the series so far. Lots of potential with rivers and how water interacts with the land in general. Though he kind of glossed over the existence of river deltas. And sometimes rivers DO split outside of deltas.

guys i wonder if hot and cold spots is a formal term

hypernile is cool as fuck

Any artificial rivers? They’re kinda cool

There are a few places where you have many rivers running parallel to each other all the way to the sea (or some other big river). It looks kind of unnatural, and it seems to me (in my completely unexpert opinion) that over the course of time some of these rivers would capture their neighbors, especially in flatter areas, so a greater proportion of them would be (higher order) tributaries.

Okay guys, I need HELP! So not to long ago I was inspired to start my own world building adventure. On account that all of us, myself included, are watching this video it will not surprise anyone to know that I wanted to do things the artefaxian way but that was a massive task I was undertaking due to a few problems namely: 1. I do not use a Mac 2. I am not subscribed to the Adobe suite of apps I need someone to help Windows users on a budget like me. I tried GIMP once and it was awful so no GIMP for now. And also no 'switch to Mac/Apple' argument either.If anyone knows how to aid this horrendous situation PLZ REPLY!!!!

Yeeeessss i cant wait for more stufff!

You could actually use a shrinkwrap modifier to basically draw boundaries on the sphere. It might actually be possible to simulate plate tectonics in blender too but that might be advanced
