#

UPDATE

#

yes

#

Very drk

tardy rivet
#

Guys I think I found my motivation to work on it again after the last few days of doing it

nimble vector
#

🤘

tardy rivet
#

I haven't had the time to model anything since I've been working on porting to v81 all day

#

without fucking things up

#

thankfully it seems to have (mostly) worked

finite crane
#

Thats one idea checked off the list

chilly pulsar
#

also that wall texture was so high quality it tricked me for a second

finite crane
#

Shelves are mine yeah

#

Partially reused zeekers assets, but I think I did it justice instead of just flat out reuse

chilly pulsar
#

yeh its fine

plucky sigil
#

Looks laggy :0

finite crane
#

A single shelving unit is about 3000-5000 tris, and that's without LODs

tardy rivet
#

that’s fire

nimble vector
#

That's really good

nimble vector
tardy rivet
#

what else am I supposed to do today

This kinda reminds me of a shop here called Kenji which puts a bunch of giant plushies in the window

tardy rivet
#

i’ve been working nonstop for 3 days

#

and i’ve made no progress

#

are we kidding

#

zeekerrs foiled my plans

#

no it’s actually unitys fault for being such a pain in the butt

chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

guys how do you feel about this moon layout

chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

haha embed fail

es too big

chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

how about now (i nuked the terrain)

#

maybe I should just quit modding altogether

chilly pulsar
#

99% of new moons suffer from being to big and having details spread out

turbid folio
#

flat :O

#

oh good

tardy rivet
#

and the height of the terrain was lowered

chilly pulsar
#

id say scale it up now by 25% and uhh

#

do some cliffs of dover type shit

tardy rivet
#

its supposed to be a mountain moon and I dont think im conveying it enough

chilly pulsar
#

oceanic cliffs

tardy rivet
#

What am I doing wronggreed

#

I hate mooning

#

idk how people do this for fun

merry crag
tardy rivet
#

exactly and idk how you do it

merry crag
chilly pulsar
#

moving trees is not fun

merry crag
#

I have to place hundreds of trees on my moons

#

It is time consuming but in the end, It is worth the time\

tardy rivet
#

I could just bundle a blank moon

#

I want people to actually enjoy and play my moons

#

like there's going to be people that are like "yeah that looks really good!" and then never play it

#

because it doesnt actually look good

#

it looks horrible

#

im on the verge of a psychotic break

chilly pulsar

Elevate your workflow with the Terrain Sample Asset Pack asset from Unity Technologies. Find this & other Landscapes options on the Unity Asset Store.

Get the Prefab Painter 2 package from Funkybyte and speed up your game development process. Find this & other Painting options on the Unity Asset Store.

#

this is what REAL moonits use

#

also install terrain tools in package manager

#

its a unity package

tardy rivet
#

i already have both

#

thank you though

#

i didnt know about terrrain tools

hollow glade
tardy rivet
#

a little big

#

compared to march

#

I do think march is a little small though

#

I forget

#

Nope all vanilla moons are pretty small I think

#

wow

#

this thing is going to be gigantic

#

this is where I stand

#

also holy crap these mountains don't need to be so tall

merry crag
#

or the person under the terrain on exp

chilly pulsar
#

use the default ragdoll prefab

yeah but where

merry crag
#

Out by the Quicksand beind ship

#

nvm He is really far out

tardy rivet
#

oh god

#

he looks deadly

merry crag
#

there might be 2

tardy rivet
#

holy moly

#

this is big news

tight lily
#

Why is he scaled by 0.1697615 plink

merry crag
#

oh he is

tardy rivet
#

forbidden number

merry crag
tardy rivet
#

secret instructions

merry crag
#

1, 1, 1

tight lily
#

Did Zeekers model him life sized then have to scale him down in Unity

tardy rivet
#

since the first number is 0 theres 0 decimals in the hidden password

the second number is 1 and using the first rule of Zeekerrs law "if the position of the number is greater than its value, than you have to take it out" we get rid of that

this leaves us with 697615

yet again, we can do the first rule of Zeekerrs law to eliminate the 1 and the 5 at the end

6976

since this is lethal company, we have to think about the letters in "lethal" and "company". 6 and 7

there is a 6 and a 7 in our code, and we must group them up.

6796

9 and 6 are special numbers that when flipped around they can turn into each other, so we must flip them upside down to make the final code:

6769

#

coincidence? I don't think so

#

help me

finite crane
# tight lily Did Zeekers model him life sized then have to scale him down in Unity

Unity and blender share a grid scale. 1 Meter cubed per each grid tile. Had zeekers modelled it human scale (1.8 meters on average) it'd already be close to the right scale in unity. But no, he doesn't roll like that.

Importing the player model directly into blender has it at like 200 metres tall, which is the same shit he has done to sooo many other assets.

#

i’m just your friendly neighborhood lunar

tardy rivet
#

I kind of want to try a multi biome moon

#

If someone could code this thing where you could land on different spots on the moon that would be so cool

Starting another moon before finishing the mall interior that has been “worked on” since last year.

#

the horrors of veld

#

2 fps

tardy rivet
#

and it was just an idea

midnight forge
tardy rivet
#

soon

#

like I said within the next two weeks is when I want it

tardy rivet
#

@chilly pulsar is this any good?

#

the terrain

chilly pulsar
#

i mean its kinda

#

flat

#

take a look at vanillir terrain

tardy rivet
#

I tried to make sure players were able to climb it

tardy rivet
#

idk how he did it

chilly pulsar
#

and

#

terrain asset pack

tardy rivet
#

yes

#

im going to be honest

#

I dont see a difference

#

idek what they add

chilly pulsar
valid bloom
#

is the mall?

#

or is it not

tardy rivet
#

yes the mall is what I want released within the next two weeks

#

and I feel like it’s possible

finite crane
#

but does he have any trash can functionality coded stare

tardy rivet
#

its not going to have that stuff on release

#

this is going to be an alpha

#

I just want something out

tardy rivet
#

after I release the interior and maybe even the moon, I think I want to start working on an enemy skin mod or an item mod, because I think they are cool concepts and I want to get practice with modeling

chilly pulsar
#

everyones to lazy to make them!!

tight lily
#

I can't think of any equipment greed

#

he even had a landmine thingy battery

#

i have no free time and i must cook

#

😔

#

...maybe..

chilly pulsar
#

im so mad i cant work next week on mods

#

:(((

tight lily
tardy rivet
#

i’ll take a look at jll and see if i can come up with anything

#

i want to try traps too

#

but this is only after release

#

i won’t start anything new

chilly pulsar
#

less wanting more doing!!

#

finish that moonits buddy boy!!!

#

plink but make it detailed

tardy rivet
#

ugh moon moon moon

#

i don’t understand it

midnight forge
tardy rivet
#

yeah i guess your right

#

so within the next week

#

@chilly pulsar ?

#

sorry for all the pings by the way, you're just the only mooner I can think of that would help me with this

#

i left that flat spot for the company building

chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

thanks

#

any notes?

high compass
#

what are you using for reference?

tardy rivet
#

my mind

high compass
#

oh......

#

but like no images no nothing?

#

just rawdogging it?

tardy rivet
#

I tried reference pics, but there's none I could find that I find cool

tardy rivet
chilly pulsar
#

lies

#

deception

tardy rivet
#

no

#

these actually fit pretty well though

chilly pulsar
#

youre missing some textures

#

also id scale down the rock wall texture

#

its very big

#

you get a ton of textures from the sample asset pack

tardy rivet
chilly pulsar
#

i mean like

#

you could incorporate a mix of a different grass

#

and patches of gravel

#

like in the reference

#

and in the gravel you can use scaled down vanilla rocks

#

for depth

#

with prefab placer 2

tardy rivet
#

here it is with fog

#

i like

tardy rivet
tardy rivet
#

i might have gone a little overboard

#

i was thinking about the gravel like how it would fall in real life

#

it would be more dense near cliffs and stuff

#

the other type of grass I just splotched in random spots

#

idk how I feel about the path around ship

#

@chilly pulsar

tardy rivet
#

is that bad or good

#

I cant tell

#

he looks sad

tardy rivet
#

but the heavenly lights are making it look good

tardy rivet
#

what if the cat has his hands up because hes a no good criminal

#

im going to asset bundle now and then ill start decorating

tardy rivet
#

mooning isn't so bad anymore

#

im starting to understand

tardy rivet
#

really good progress today, Im really happy at what I got to learn

#

goodnight everyone

#

its now 2 am

#

Id rather have something closer to release than nothing at allgreed

tardy rivet
#

making a moon icon rn

#

i’m trying to think of a layout that hasn’t been. used

chilly pulsar
#

dont just do picksel

tardy rivet
#

thats what I'm avoiding

chilly pulsar
#

ive been changing mine to title + icon

#

or just title + screenshot

tardy rivet
chilly pulsar
#

fartzone 2!!!

tardy rivet
#

complete utter shit

chilly pulsar
#

i dont think it conveys the mountains enough but the idea is right

tardy rivet
#

idk how else to convey mountains

chilly pulsar
#

Thetweaker textur

tardy rivet
chilly pulsar
#

but its improvingle

tardy rivet
#

i kinda dont like it with the grey

chilly pulsar
#

Welll

#

you could do it like me and

#

kenji

tardy rivet
#

just a pic of the moon?

chilly pulsar
#

oh wait

#

no

#

kenjis are pixel art

#

since when

#

i thought they were image plus name and icon

chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

sure I can do that

chilly pulsar
#

for example viscera icon and symbiosis

#

the thing is you gotta do the moon first for these

#

plink and find a fitting font and iconits

#

i like it because it lets people see the moon at a glance but you can still put in some style with the font and icon

tardy rivet
#

yeah i like that idea

#

well i’m figuring out how to test in game with dawnlib

#

but i should start decorating by tonight

#

the rest should be easy

hollow glade
nimble vector
# tardy rivet

This honestly feels really good. Add trees........and abandoned cars, idk but my brain went to "if this is a mall people drove to it right?” and imagined some cars and trucks parked and/or knocked over dotting the area.

#

Could make for an interesting obstacle if placed In a specific way.

tardy rivet
#

actually this isn’t supposed to be a moon with a mall

nimble vector
#

Oh

tardy rivet
#

it’s supposed to be inspired by machu picchu

nimble vector
#

Well nevermind

tardy rivet
#

I will end up making a mall moon though

#

and I just got a new idea for a moon

nimble vector
tardy rivet
#

i’ll post a hint soon

#

but since I kind of want less of my work to be revealed way before weeks now I’ll only post clues

#

if I need help i’ll be asking in dev channels

nimble vector
#

If the abandoned vehicle thing does make it in an idea I had was to put in trucks you can go under and maybe cars you can jump on/over like flat convertible cars. Basically objects you can like loop and path around or through to help you escape or hinder you if you take a bad path. Maybe in a sporadic misaligned semi grid like pattern unless you get to the parking lot which has rows of cars and trucks.

They wouldn't even have to look good just 2 simple objects repeated and spread out like trees.

#

That way you aren't necessarily dead in the environment if a giant chases you or if dogs are angry and you are too far from ship or entrance maaaaybe having an escape if you're fast enough.

#

It's always bothered me that getting chased on moons without really good positioning or a jetpack can mean garunteed death. That's why I really like the houses and barns because they give an environmental tool you can use for shelter or escape. I really like the idea of moons having something like that even if it's small or not very good.

nimble vector
#

You know what I mean

#

Hangars

#

Idk my brain says barn because of how they look on the outside.

nimble vector
tardy rivet
#

gosh I want to reveal the moon idea

#

but I won't

#

time to write down my ideas so I don't forget

nimble vector
#

Hmmmm, what if private discussion?

chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

no

chilly pulsar
#

coincidentally opens my ear REALLY WIDE

nimble vector
#

Aww.....

chilly pulsar
#

so one may whisper into dms

tardy rivet
#

did anyone name a moon canopy yet

nimble vector
#

Ô�æ�æöw��rÖ�7�F
Translation: (man now I'm sad)

tardy rivet
#

this is the rename for paradys

#

so right now I have Root, Canopy, Collapse, Unnamed Mall/City moon, and [REDACTED]

nimble vector
#

Mall name ideas: commerce, market, relation, promenade, centre, commercial, pedestrian, expend, employ, construct, accumulation.

#

I figured you wouldn't want to just call it "mall" and I tried to think abstractly like zeekers does.

tardy rivet
#

I like commerce, promenade, centre

nimble vector
#

I like commerce too, literally the first thing that came to mind.

tardy rivet
#

I might also add square in there

#

Capitals also good

nimble vector
#

Promenade technically means boardwalk but is associated with roaming and centre kind works to me on 2 levels: 1 it is a type of place but not specific and could be in reference to a place within a place or a whole area, 2 it's also like the word center which has a few implications like centered as in calm also a centerlized place of business and the center of possibly tragedy since it has monsters.

#

I can’t get my moon to load😭

#

Ooooo

#

Vhat is it?

tardy rivet
#

mountainous moon

tight lily
#

bit foggy init?

tardy rivet
#

yeah maybe

#

in the editor its really not this foggy

tardy rivet
#

hmm how do I even make it less foggy

nimble vector
chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

yeth

chilly pulsar
#

theres a separate thing in your global volume too forfog

#

you can tweak that too

#

(there’s multiple volumes for each weather)

tardy rivet
#

guys

#

literally everythings working now

#

even main entrance too

#

which I thought would be an issue

#

Im decorating tommorow

#

and the moon could be published this week

#

idk about the mall though

chilly pulsar
#

LordDunzert TAKE YOUR TIME

#

pack detail in!!!

#

use foliage and rocks and other details

#

oh that’s bad

#

why did you respond to me

tardy rivet
#

listen to me

nimble vector
nimble vector
#

Come on y'all

chilly pulsar
#

when you said listen to this dude

#

it sounded like dude was me and you were speaking directy to me

#

”listen to this, bro”

#

essentially

nimble vector
#

I'm filling your vehicle hanger with 30 brackens

#

And I'm putting a jester in your walls

high compass
tardy rivet
#

I already have some background terrain

#

it’s the terrain in the backgroundbeevil

#

do you mean more background terrain?

#

because I can do that

#

of course the picture i sent has the least amount of background terrain on the moon

high compass
tardy rivet
#

ok so guys

#

today i’m home

#

that’s good news

#

bad news is

#

I have to do yard work😭

#

so there will be progress today on both mods

finite crane
tardy rivet
#

but not as much as I want

#

I can't wait for the release of Mall interior

#

since the ETA is this sunday!

tardy rivet
#

#

i scoped it a bit too far out

#

i dont want my interior to be so big

chilly pulsar
#

no clue

#

ive never had to use that

tardy rivet
#

you dont import stuff from blender?

chilly pulsar
#

Turn on read or write for objects that need to be stood on tho

#

i do but i dont tweak the settings too much

#

all u really need for whole tiles is read / write ticked

#

the rest is optional

white shard
white shard
tardy rivet
#

what are blendshapes

white shard
#

also keep inreasing mesh compression until you see a difference visually

white shard
#

they're like animations

chilly pulsar
#

he loves navmesh connection nodes

tardy rivet
#

help me

#

this shit is so repetitive

#

I cant

icy harbor
#

hi lunar

tardy rivet
#

hi

finite crane
tardy rivet
#

im starting to rethink why I would ever start this project

tardy rivet
#

this import shit is so annoying

#

like its easy

#

but its so repetitive and time consuming

chilly pulsar
finite crane
#

yeah, because im not some probuilder pleb

chilly pulsar
#

youre also incredibly inconvenient to the people putting it together in editor!

#

probuilder sucks ass

#

but

#

theres a difference between using blender to make models and using blender for entire tiles, forcing people to painstakingly rearrange and set up everything

#

i said that it was a bad idea and it would astronomically increase the time it takes

#

since someone would have to do the boring work of resetting all the materials and giving everything colliders

finite crane
#

does he know I exported tiles and objects separately Goog

chilly pulsar
#

annnnd now that youve put all the work on lunar its becoming a problem

chilly pulsar
#

but still

#

why even assign the objects in each spot in the tile in the first place

#

since lunar now has to redo them all anyways

#

it was still incredibly unnecessary

finite crane
#

because I wanted to get scale and layout in a way that made sense and looked good

#

instead of having to stretch and warp objects in unity because I made them a bit too short or not wide enough

chilly pulsar
#

thats

#

not even a remotely good reason

#

you can test scale in so many other ways than fully doing an entire tile

tardy rivet
#

the voices in my head tell me that I should quit

#

my heart tells me no

#

i didn’t know my heart could talk

#

I want to get a majority done this weekend

#

the sooner its done the sooner its over

#

but

#

dont burn out

nimble vector
#

Well you're not going to get there if you stress yourself and fry

tardy rivet
#

I NEED TO ASSIGN MATERIALS TO 55 PREFABS

#

RAHHHHHHHHH

#

each ranging from 3 to upwards of 10

nimble vector
#

See this is why lawyers have paralegals, maybe ask someone for some help.

tardy rivet
#

thats the problem

#

theres no easy way to get someone to help

#

at least its all organized

#

so pretty

nimble vector
#

Yeah but there's also no easy way to get this done so it's pretty much relative.

finite crane
#

uhh, why is it just prefabs

tardy rivet
#

Those are the ones I haven't put into the prefab object yet

finite crane
#

Did I export doors yet?

#

the shutters I mean

nimble vector
#

Never said that and it doesn't matter, it's maybe worth putting up a post or something.

tardy rivet
finite crane
#

the animations should have been included right?

tardy rivet
#

yes they were

nimble vector

tardy rivet
nimble vector
#

I noticed.....

tardy rivet
#

unity has no way (or very difficult) to share projects with people

nimble vector
#

At the very least try to work slow, if you feel on edge do something to ease it. Maybe get some tea.

finite crane
#

Did you ever try the multiple available tools of working on a project simultaneously with others?

nimble vector
#

I think the problem is getting "the others" to begin with.

finite crane
#

im the problem? damn, guess I might as well stop working on this greed

nimble vector
#

.....not what I meant

chilly pulsar
nimble vector
#

Ah fuck really?

#

Damn

tardy rivet
#

guys Im almost done

#

with the tiles...

#

ill finish tiles, get dungeon generation working tonight

#

then ill work less tomorrow than I did today

#

and then sunday I do a lot of work

finite crane
#

lets VC on sunday so we can go through it and make sure everything is correct yeah?

chilly pulsar
#

Please at least manage to release mall before supermarket

#

if you dont ill cry

Same, I've been watching in the shadows and honestly, it's the mod that I'm looking forward the most

tardy rivet
#

I didn’t know I had fans😭😭😭

#

I’ll get an alpha out as soon as possible

#

In a playable state

#

like i’ll only beta test for if it generates in game and multiplayer and stuff

#

but other then that ill leave it up to the community to find bugs because if I don’t it’ll waste a lot more time

chilly pulsar
#

LordDunzert lock in

tardy rivet
#

post anything you find here

#

but it most likely won’t be out this weekend

#

if anything it’ll be out late sunday night

#

7-11 pm EST

#

but if that happens there’s a good chance i’ll be burnt out for the rest of the week

nimble vector
#

By then i should be home from being attacked with foam sticks

tardy rivet
#

it won’t

tardy rivet
#

okay

#

2 weeks from now

tardy rivet
#

I’m sorry to everyone I disappointed

#

I had to walk my gunkfish all day

chilly pulsar
#

you made me so sad i went and blew up some random guys gunkfish that he was walking all day

#

hmm

tardy rivet
#

that’s crazy

chilly pulsar
#

sounds familiar

tardy rivet
#

let’s just say I went out of my house with my gunkfish and came back home without one

#

some guy blew up mr backwater

#

i can’t get the goo off of me

chilly pulsar
#

thats so unfortunate

#

i was just laughing at a guy covered in goo but he didnt know

#

cus i was hiding

So are we restarting again on the interior and working on a moon now

tardy rivet
#

yes

#

that’s exactly what’s happening

midnight forge
#

+Fourth restart: April 2026

tardy rivet
#

i was joking

#

just because i’m not working on it all the time doesn’t mean i restarted

#

and i could go to different projects if I wanted to

midnight forge
#

So stop starting other projects instead of the one that you’ve already went past your promised release date like 8 times

tardy rivet
#

no i haven’t

midnight forge
#

You literally have

tardy rivet
#

i only said 2 due dates

#

December and then 2 sundays ago

midnight forge
#

Before that you were promising that it would come out in a couple months

#

Then you said it would come out last weekend

chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

only its roots hyde underground

#

it’s so scary bc you don’t even know it’s there

chilly pulsar
#

true

#

did you know dead people are a bodyhyde

#

its because they are six feet under

#

scary to think about

tardy rivet
#

ohh

#

that explains a lot

#

unmarked bodyhydes are able to move freely and grab ankles

#

that’s why we have gravestones

nimble vector
#

Definitely needs more branches.

tardy rivet
#

maybe a little skinny?

#

guys

#

v80 shader on trees

chilly pulsar
#

thats much better

#

needs one or two lower branches imo

tardy rivet
#

bushes

tardy rivet
#

what about a town/village moon

#

I feel like that would be cool with the npc thing i’ve heard about

#

im probably not going to make it

#

but it’s a cool idea

tardy rivet
#

yo chat is this peak

chilly pulsar
#

i love icons that not only construe the nature of the moon through real images but also text and a small icon!!!

nimble vector
tardy rivet
#

new best moon

tardy rivet
#

I might release tonight😬

#

how do I optimize guys

hollow glade
#

In short: compress textures and make sure that you're using blank references

tardy rivet
#

ok this week probably

#

im so close though

#

but I cant finish tonight

#

im so angry

tardy rivet
#

no

#

id say it looks pretty good otherwise

#

for a first moon that'll probably get a rework

chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

no

#

i need those

chilly pulsar
#

add them

#

yeah

#

and what kind of place is this

#

like why would people have been here before it was abandoned

#

always keep dat in mind

#

also did u do blank refs and compress all vanilla textures?

tardy rivet
#

they got wiped out by carnivores

chilly pulsar
#

what was their job

tardy rivet
#

to get wiped out by carnivores

#

eyeless dogs

chilly pulsar
#

what

tardy rivet
#

that was their job

#

to die

chilly pulsar
#

what the fuck is the facility then

tardy rivet
#

uhhh

#

the company

chilly pulsar
#

why is there even a building atp

tardy rivet
#

they built it

#

to study the corpses of the people

#

no idek

#

they were inspired by inca people and machu picchu

#

so they were like

#

farmers i think

#

and they got wiped out by eyeless dogs

#

because they loved music so much

#

and they were isolated because it was so mountainous

#

something like that

#

they weren't used to predators hunting them down

#

so didn't care about how loud they were

#

Civilizations noticed the rich materials the moon was rich in materials and released eyeless dogs on them to wipe them out

#

and it happened easily

#

the company then settled on the moon and uses it for its rich materials

chilly pulsar
#

ok thats actually cool lore

#

now

#

we need some evidence of harvesting of resources and materials occuring

#

could be logging, mining, etc

#

maybe some storage stuff

#

like silos etc

#

that combined with the rocks will tie the moon together

#

now we are cooking.

#

you dont wanna post a moon thats missing the essentials!

tardy rivet
#

i might just add some storage crates around and add some tree stumps

#

maybe i’ll use rocks to try to convey collapsed mineshafts or something

#

that’ll all be tomorrow

#

release 1-2 days now

tardy rivet
#

storage crate?

#

im going to wrap like a rope around it at it should look nice

tardy rivet
#

whats that supposed to mean

tardy rivet
#

Tree stumps and a fire exit and...

#

we release

#

isn't that nice

#

guys who should I credit

#

beanie

#

for helping me

#

xu for helping me

#

uhh

#

sniper

#

kenji?

#

i think hes helped

#

fumo too

#

paco

#

tony

#

thats it I think

#

oh right I need rocks too

chilly pulsar
#

hey you

#
#

(retexture them)

#

or use vanilla!

tardy rivet
#

dwww

#

rock

tardy rivet
#

very low poly

chilly pulsar
#

the polnit

tardy rivet
#

is the rock good though

chilly pulsar
#

yeh

tardy rivet
#

it uses vanilla textures though so thats cool

tardy rivet
#

so guys

#

im going to release tonight

#

I have so little to do now

#

oh

#

enemy spawns

#

scrap spawns

#

and

#

thats it

#

those are easy though

#

I have nodes but the actual enemies aren't defined

#

oh my aura

chilly pulsar
#

raaah!!

#

and then generic walks in

tardy rivet
#

Collapse?

#

You said it was a good name iirc

#

when i thought of it

chilly pulsar
#

i dont recall ever commenting on it

#

i would have if i knew what it was

#

how about...

#

hrm...

tardy rivet
#

RAHHHHHHHHHHH

chilly pulsar
#

when the fuck did i say that

#

im so confused

tardy rivet
#

januarus

chilly pulsar
#

collapse just sounds like so many other moons is the issue

#

HOLY SHIT

#

i came up witha great name but its so good i wanna use it myself

#

fuck you

tardy rivet
#

hrmph

#

not fair

#

you lie to me

chilly pulsar
#

im sorry it fits one of my recent ideas so well

tardy rivet
#

maybe

#

assimilation

#

they assimilated the moon to make it suitable for the company

#

and mining

#

and logging

#

I barely have to change much

tardy rivet
#

oml

chilly pulsar
#

Rupture
Abate
Cession
Cede

#

check if these are used yet tho

tardy rivet
#

I like cession

#

how do I even know

#

like looking up on TS doesn't show anything

#

but there are multiple moons you can't find just by searching

#

the name

tardy rivet
#

either way Im using it

#

and you can't stop me

chilly pulsar
#

gave it to you for a reason

#

and hid the really good one for myself for a reason

tardy rivet
#

secretely

#

and you pray on my downfall

tardy rivet
#

[🕰️] Lunar's Moons and Interiors

#

the WIP that has been there for two years

#

is off

#

ugh im going to get no sleep bc of this

#

should I just release tomorrow

nimble vector
#

Man why does all the cool shit happen when I'm not awake or free?

tardy rivet
#

don’t fall asleep tonight and i think you should be ok

finite crane
#

Chat what did he mean by this

glass bane
#

Ok, then I won't sleep

chilly pulsar
#

the russian groosh experiment

tardy rivet
#

tonight…

merry crag
glass bane
#

Yeah

#

This creepypasta is so funny once you saw this "creature" (I don't remember if it's a costume or a sculpture) in another light and another angle

tardy rivet
#

so yesterday i learned about blank references when I found out a single moon was…

#

wait for it

#

600MB

#

it’s because i had all scrap and enemies inside because of how they were referenced

tardy rivet
#

guys should I change my name

#

There’s too many similar names

#

like Lunas Moons

#

Lunar config

#

etc

#

it’s confusing, and I might genuinely do the opposite and become solar

sly delta
hollow glade

#

Remember that a simple-ish moon tends to be around 18-45MB

#

Just so you have it in mind, "biggest" moon in filesize is 35MB iirc

hollow glade
#

That's why I think you have something else going on

tardy rivet
#

idk if i was reading it wrong but i was looking in the asset bundle, not the actual mod when uploaded into thunderstore

#

i think last time it was 70 mb

#

but i optimized since last time i checked

hollow glade
#

Alr alr

white shard
#

as a reference point for how optimised you can get, even with hundreds of custom assets, Oxyde is less than 50mb~, including everything in it
i think people can reasonably hit around 30mb or less for their moons depending on the content it has in it and effort into optimisation
just keep in mind some stuff like textures can still be reasonably put into a high number like 1k (still with crunch compression) if you know exactly what you need to optimise and how

hollow glade
#

mhm mhm

#

It's a bit tedious since you need to look at what is bundling but basically what xu said

tardy rivet
#

what is bundling is how to optimize?

#

i’ll be home in about an hour

#

i’ll do this all soon

#

hopefully we release today

hollow glade
plucky sigil
#

Solar sounds cool tbh

tardy rivet
hollow glade
#

idk, probably

#

optimizing the files makes the bundle smaller

#

that's what we're talking about

finite crane
tardy rivet
#

I can’t find my own thread now lmao

#

i’m so used to the wip

tardy rivet
tardy rivet
white shard
#

Is that the built bundle size?

#

If not, idk, I don't have unity opened

tardy rivet
#

I think its just the raw size

#

without building

#

getting ready...

wispy garden
tardy rivet
#

oops the unity grid is in the pic

#

there we go

tardy rivet
#

if I decide to rebrand

#

Solar feels so much more unique, i've only met like one other person that had that name

#

theres so many in this community

wispy garden
tardy rivet
#

like for example theres Lunar Config, Luna's Moons, Lunar Lights (I think that's the same thing as Luna's Moons)

#

Solar is just cooler imo

#

theres also similar like lunxara and many others

plucky sigil
#

Shhhhh

#

Change it to solar config

tardy rivet
#

this is kinda bad

#

playing eclipsed on this moon...

#

2 forest giants spawned before my eyes before 12 pm

#

just decrease your size exponentially

#

I'm rebranding

#

[🕰️] Solar's Moons and Interiors

#

guys am I cooler now

#

[🕰️] Solar's Mods

#

this is better

#

and simpler

plucky sigil
#

hi solar :3

tardy rivet
#

hello

#

my friends won't accept me for who I am :(

plucky sigil
#

whyyyyyyyyy

tardy rivet
#

idk

#

they're so mean

chilly pulsar
chilly pulsar
tardy rivet
#

im tryinggg

#

idk how

chilly pulsar
#

Looknits then, its peak

tardy rivet
#

im following the dev-moons channel

#

all the pinned

chilly pulsar
#

did you use blank refs and crunch compress the vanilla texture folder?

tardy rivet
#

but nothing seems to be actually reducing

tardy rivet
#

like, the whole game folder?

#

or just the ones im using

#

whats that LOD helper called

#

I think thats the root of my issues

white shard
plucky sigil
#

nooooooooooo

#

:c

tardy rivet
#

i think it definitely compresses, it goes from 400 to about 70 now

tardy rivet
#

anyone please

tardy rivet
#

who did that

#

guys wtf

#

i optimized sooo much

#

it doesnt have the moon...

wispy garden
wispy garden
tardy rivet
wispy garden
#

2.9 mb too much

#

my computer cant run it

#

needs to be smaller

tardy rivet
#

WHAT does it mean by this

tardy rivet
#

helpppp
