There aren't enough ecology sims out there. I think I'm gonna try to make one.

Timelapse of all the geological sim features working together on bare bedrock - avalanches, rock crumbling, sand and soil creation and so on. Seems okay - I can let players start out with all sorts of weird terrains and trust that it'll become something plausible over time.

Playing around with an accumulating wetness map on terrain. This has multiple uses - it emphasises small transient streams that don't have enough data resolution otherwise, and also suppresses vegetation growth in riverbeds over time.

Still watching the grass grow. It now slowly creates a soil layer wherever there's at least a bit of water. You can see the species change over time - they tend towards greener and leafier types as the soil improves. Works in reverse too - dried out soil turns back into sand.

I made the water flow data accessible to entity simulation and got some pretty dramatic results

Testing some long-term interactions - decomposing plants slowly turn sand into fertile soil. It'd be cool to have to use hardy pioneer species to first terraform a world a bit and make way for fancier species. But maybe I'll just make grasses do this automatically if it's tedious

Changing the soil generation logic means I also need to re-tune my hydraulic erosion. It's a pretty slow iterative process, small changes in parameters can produce very different results in long term. All 3 variants have problems, but C could kind of work with some more tuning

Implemented some terrain-aware upsampling schemas to squeeze out more visual fidelity from the sim. You can still see the underlying low-res grid, but it's a lot less obvious now.
