Earthlike World Project

[Pipochubs1999]

Well I've decided to start my own world building project inspired by the other ones. We're going to construct a mundane world starting with the continents and building upon that. We'll discuss different topics throughout the course of the project and work on many different features of the world before we move on to cultures.

Stages

1. We have to decide the rough shape(s) of the continent(s) and islands throughout the planet.

2. We have to refine the coastlines and make biome, topography, current, and wind maps.

3. We establish the origin point of humanity and work on ecology and crop packages.

Our first topic will be the placement of landmasses.

 

[Pipochubs1999]

My proposition for a landmass. Feel free to propose your own.

 

[Fox-Fire]

My landmass.

 

[Pipochubs1999]

Not bad dude.

 

[Pipochubs1999]

Here's my second proposal. Remember you can reject it or make some revisions.

 

[Pipochubs1999]

Added some more continents. Anybody interested?

 

[Sovereign12]

Here is another.

 

[Pipochubs1999]

Awesome. Anyone want to add more continents/islands before we start perfecting them?

 

[Beedok]

Tectonic plates should be the start.

 

[Pipochubs1999]

Alright. Want to get started?

I get a little bit controlling about things and am a touch perfectionist on planet building. I'd probably not be the best person to have join.

It's okay. So am I.

 

[Beedok]

It's okay. So am I.

I'm not sure some of those landmasses can work with plate tectonism. I can say that the east coasts of the main clump with probably be subduction zones, and the two middle landmasses look like they're moving apart, so there's probaly a oceanic ridge there.

Alright. It's okay to criticize. Remember you can revise someone's proposal.

 

[Pipochubs1999]

Just patched the islands between the 2 northern continents. Tell me what you guys think.

 

[Beedok]

A rough sketch. Yellow is sliding, blue is subduction, red is spreading.

 

[Pipochubs1999]

Alright Beedok. What do you think of my patch?

 

[Pipochubs1999]

World with the patch applied.

 

[Beedok]

World with the patch applied.

Sure? Looks okay.

Another important thing to remember, assuming a scale and day length similar to earth ~30 degrees north and south will be a desert belt.

Alright. Should we make a wind and current map?
