Thinking about how one of the defining factors of a lot of nanocivilization life in my universe is a robust civil defense system. Likely differing by society, but still a lot of focus on keeping everyone alive

I love wearing 50 different hats when it comes to worldbuilding, versus just being some boring ruler. What if I wanna engineer a train between two cities? Run a dam producing electricity for a city next door across a fence? Be a deckhand on a trading vessel?

Since I’ve fallen back into my More Modern Civ rut, here’s the spreadsheet I built for that one and am still modifying docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I should redo the pinned post since I’ve fallen off the 1940s terrarium worldbuilding in favor of a more modern-y 1990s-2000s-esque backyard city model

Splitting things up into the #TerrariumCivs for 1940s-era worldbuilding and #New-Cascadia for late 80s-Early 90s

Wow I’ve uh, left this account out to dry haven’t I. Well time to fire it back up. I guess I should also learn to start tagging depending on the canon I’m addressing

One thing I think of from time to time regarding terrarium civilizations is how do I organize emergency services I've alternated between "Oh they're their own departments" and "I'm shoving everything into a Civil Defense Department whether you like it or not"

Considering/reconsidering/forever considering doing worldbuilding through releasing things written in the style of intelligence reports from in-world intel agencies, maybe even doing two versions, one in stereotypical typewriter font for immersion and the other in more accessible/easier to read font

Hmmmm. Would it be appropriate for a Thieves Guild Guildmaster to *also* be a collector of rare treasures, rather than be someone who arbitrages them? Or is that too Tropey

Been considering around a canon-ish idea that some terrariums, particularly those themed after video game environments, have things that you would Expect To Pop Up inevitably pop up as a form of crisis (Skyrim's has feral dragons pop up that want to assert dominance, other sorts of things)

Big fan of the worldbuilding concept that not only are you supposed to show the trials and tribulations of common folks in your works but also how they have fun Give em’ sports teams or something

Unfortunately I seem to have gotten into a Niche Mood and ended up accidentally designing the executive level of government for a Totally Not Chinese Dynasty Setup complete with minister names and titles and the like, maybe I'll explore this further, maybe I'll make references to them later

Not gonna lie I kinda like the internet-chat dynamic between 'terrarium benefactors' while their tiny civilizations are limited in forms of communications. Doesn't matter if it's Not-IRC or a Not-Discord type method of communication

Thinking about post-apocalyptic super-sized terrariums being attractions in community centers, as sort of a nano-zoo of sorts and promoting a "Wow, look at all these poor tiny people, aren't you glad we're more civilized than them?" ... of course the benefactors I write about think differently

Well, taking steps into more serious-ish writing subjects with my Terrarium Civilizations series. Here's a short I put out while on vacation, Breakout at Cadrian Mill: www.furaffinity.net/view/64539167/

Thinking about various aspects of my worldbuilding that I’ve been lazier on: Baseball and Soccer as universalizing sports, reusing military equipment from historical armories, going straight through to “Yeah, that one group is actually entirely based on Rome”

Part of the fun of having a "World where everyone got a chance to choose where they wanted to live because the alternative is far worse" is how I *think* I got around the "biomes determine names" curse, i.e: "Desert means Arabic and Iranic names by default"

I've been putting off seriously worldbuilding athletic/sports leagues for my Terrarium Civs environment for a while but I should honestly just bite the bullet and Fecking Do It Already

Thinking about Fallout-esque landscapes/environments being All The Rage for 'watch the nanos!' type things at community centers.

Probably the one thing I'll never go into *public* detail about is the sourcing of some of the more organic fertilizer for agriculture. I'm sure those of you that know me can probably guess at it.

Honestly it's kinda fun having terrarium-based landscapes as places where nanos are living even if the scale might be horrendously off. Blame the geographic imperfections on a group of folks who see parts of Earth and think "Wow that'd make SO much sense if there was a big city here."

Playing straight in my canon: A 'we're rebuilding society/nation-building' mission to a terrarium intentionally created as a post-apocalypse setting as folks begin to realize Maybe This Actually Kinda Sucks. Currently being undertaken by members of the United Workers Federation

I feel like if I tried to communicate which factions hated each other or which benefactors disliked each other or hated each other, I’d need flow charts that looked like they came from the Department of Defense

Horror scenario: Someone just learned about containerization and no other ports have the infrastructure to support it

Terrariums’ primary method of long-distance travel between terrariums is, unsurprisingly, ocean liners. Planes were just too logistically challenging except for short hops. This may or may not be because I like the concept of the ocean liner

Anyway, welcome! Here is my ongoing spreadsheet for organizing my Terrarium Civilizations (working title) world. It is in a constant state of flux, so you may find things being added, or removed, at my own will! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...
