Arrdem 👻🎃💀 @arrdem.tirefireind.us · 02/10/2026There are other big dumb structures (planetary rings) that I do need to show off doing purely for setpiecing reasons that you wouldn't need to make any effort to try and fill out. But the Niven ring is really pathological because there's Too Much Of It, and it's All Just Surface You Can Fly To 030
Arrdem 👻🎃💀 @arrdem.tirefireind.us · 02/10/2026And the reason you wouldn't bother with it is they're too big to be useful from a narrative perspective. It'd take lifetimes to fully explore one of these! In a game that's supposed to be about exploring space! They're literally too big. 130
Arrdem 👻🎃💀 @arrdem.tirefireind.us · 02/10/2026I suspect the final game will have small rings and some O'Neil's, but these Big Dumb Structures are mostly a flex in terms of things that the procgen engine I've sketched out can handle easily most games can't/wouldn't bother with. 120

Arrdem 👻🎃💀 @arrdem.tirefireind.us · 02/10/2026here ya go. first two r of 1.95Gm, discontinuous with spokes. needs some refinement like creating a crossbar for the spokes to attach to but pretty simple and just a distinct sweep profile. The problem is making any amount of usable gameplay out of anything like this. 120
Reposted by Arrdem 👻🎃💀Max Dubler 🏳️🌈 @maxdubler.com · 01/10/2026People are going to clown on this but we need to remember that planning for local context is important: a city with Los Angeles, California’s semi-arid Mediterranean climate only gets sunshine ~300 days a year; so it’s important to make sure you can never ever find shade in the middle of the day. 19652109
Arrdem 👻🎃💀 @arrdem.tirefireind.us · 02/10/2026I would love to get a look at the No Man’s Sky books. They probably have a huge install base and so a lot more residual sales than anything I’ve considered but still. All these years later still able to support content work. 110
Arrdem 👻🎃💀 @arrdem.tirefireind.us · 02/10/2026And for the traditional O'Neil tubes one of the models is a 6-part hull where you have three windows and three strips of land, and modeling that radially is quite tractable I just haven't done it yet. Doing voids ala bracelets with a continuous rim/rope fits that model reasonably. 010
Arrdem 👻🎃💀 @arrdem.tirefireind.us · 02/10/2026I'd have to read the description and stand on my head some. This and my O'Neil tube support is using some math hacks to make huge swept surfaces efficient that don't work so well with discontinuities but you could probably make it work. I've definitely thought about how to work shade squares in. 110

Arrdem 👻🎃💀 @arrdem.tirefireind.us · 02/10/2026$0.02 macros as pure syntax rewrites for local semantic compression (eg. clojure's ->) are good, but they're really a lot more trouble than they're worth in terms of the knock-on consequences of making things harder to statically analyze and worth with via formal tooling in a general way. 100
