TECTONIC PLATES in Space Simulation Toolkit!

I think my previous comment was hidden. So, just want to say again that's I am admired the videos from SpikeViper! The game has received a new breath with them!

I wonder if this game could eventually simulate a realistic sun that can actually go supernova

Quick tips: 1 - The 'Draw' panel that appears on the left contains an option called 'change_material'. This tells it whether to replace the current material with the new one or not. 2 - The Sun object isn't needed to heat a planet ;) : You can simply put a powerful gravity and a more powerful magnet in the center of the planet, and spawn a massive metal 'worm' outside the planet. It will be attracted to the center, dig through the crust, and be completely turned to powder. This powder will then madly spin, and generate enough friction to keep virtually any temperature you set it to. If you add a lot of metal, it will actually create a small amount of tectonic activity, no gravity increase required! I even managed to get natural unsolicited earthquakes and volcanoes, until I added too much metal and it melted. 3 - Earth is a GREAT heat insulator. Not really a tip, just something I thought might be interesting. 4 - The Sun object can be put outside the planet, and use the next tip to get a day/night cycle. 5 - You've probably seen this, but the tools menu contains a 'rotate' option. Just get a big brush size, and click on the planet to get it spinning (I haven't been able to make it perpetual yet...) 6 - A cool thing to try is to have a gravity with about a 64 power and a magnet with the same power a small distance away from each other. Then, send in some metal and watch them exchange (takes a bit of fiddling to get it right) Might edit to add or remove stuff. EDIT: 7 - Another cool thing is to add enough water in the center of a stable planet : it will eventually make the planet suddenly increase size, and the core will instantly solidify. This is probably easier to do on lower particle-count simulations. 8 - Under 'Scene', click 'Cosmos'. There should be an option called 'animate_step' (or something similar...). Set it to 0 to pause the simulation. (Would be cool to have a hotkey for that...) You can also set it to higher values to speed up the simulation (might need to change the option called 'tick_step' - I think lol). Also, I really wish I had a 4090, or even less. I can only go to 100K particles... :(

Congratulations! Spike-viper discovered hydro-volcanos!

18:12 ive never heard of a planet going supernovea

Dude went from simulating tectonic plates to supernova Absolutely love the fact you didn't just wrap the video up and actually showed some more pressure "explosions"! :D

Suggestion: can you simulate a big collision and possibly merging of 2 or more planetoids in this game? Or simulate process of exposing of planetoid to some gravitational anomaly (for example effect of "nomadic star")?

In the first episode the last episode I noticed about the creation of these cracks and i was like "is this literally seismic activity???" this makes me so happy

I dunno how youtube recommended me this, but i like it.

7:19 now THATS a super volcano!

7:25 is just like : "This is my kingdom come"

been watching you here and there for the powder game because i used to play it as a kid, and I just subscribed because you show very niche but interesting games, been looking for interesting things to watch and I am happy the algorithm showed your videos. Please keep up the great work!

day one of asking spike viper to make a 2 hour long video about space tool kit

Here’s another tip: you can change the temperature the outside space acts on the planet by using the sky variable in the scene button, then changing the temp slider, (this prevents all the water from freezing over in this simulation because one sun can’t warm the entire planet) Edit tip: it will also stop the “magma” water from freezing as it reaches the top And also stop the weird ice spamming effect from the water slipping through the cracks of the stone and continuously freezing and unfreezing

We need a 3D powder toy

Been a while since ive watched you play this game, might start watching more, idk why i stopped

i love how he kinda makes a supernova at the end

this is a game I didnt know i needed

Thank you for showing me this game!

Oh yeah now this is great content I've actually been watching you for a year and your a great underrated YouTuber
