planets and lag

Our planets sound like quantum particles; you don't know what state they are in, until either you observe it, or you get something else to interact with it. Hopefully that makes sense for a planetary scale in a game?

This is the exact metaphor I used for loading one biome at a time, and it's exactly how the game should work. I'm liking your ideas.

Thanks! I'm no expert on anything though, so some of my ideas may come out to being contrary to reality. I got most of my ideas when looking at the failings of Spore, so maybe that's why you like them?..

Just wish I could have more time to learn programing, so I could get something started from all these ideas.

Anyways, it sounds like we have a good background-opps concept, the quantum particle model. It should make things a lot simpler, considering we don't have lots of interactions in the universe all at once.

^ Fun maths that sound great and make the game interesting. ^

Is this idea Third-ed or Fourthed?
