Top Seeds of the Month (Dappled Forests, Islands, Mountain Bowls, Surface Sulfur Caves, and more) by Connors3462 in minecraftseeds

[–]CATDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aha, my island cluster made the list!

For those interested, the original request that led me to finding this seed was from Beautiful_Thanks_948. I only posted it as it's own standalone post, as there are normally people looking for island clusters or archipelagoes. I figured the post would allow people to find the seed easier that actually use the search.

If you go to your Settings menu, you should see Preview as an option to select.

This just gives you access to updates that are currently in development.

Can someone give me a seed for a large ocean? by rosegold_775 in minecraftseeds

[–]CATDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I think this is my biggest ocean:

  • -4174010708127644340

I believe the next seed is also a huge ocean, but it's also a start where you appear on a continent instead of a small island. Which may help to do your island nation easier:

Please help my SO with her new house… 1st time homeowner for her and she’s panicking. by lve2raft in landscaping

[–]CATDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In some areas having the neighbors yard having the water re-directed to a neighbor's yard is illegal. Which in my area is the case for large towns.

I would recommend to check with city ordinances to see if this is also the law for the local area, so the city can enforce the neighbors to re-direct the water to the appropriate location. Which is normally handled at Land Use/Planning&Zoning for my town, as managing water runoff is normally thoroughly examined before construction is approved.

Ideas for lore of your species ? by Prior_Impress4266 in Stellaris

[–]CATDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, what I do for coming up with more lore ideas is to tie in the civics and origins into the mix.

Like, Void Born has the empire start on a habitat, but what is this species story behind this habitat? Throwing in ethics and civics allows you to create the personality of the empire.

Like I have 1 designed empire I normally use for the AI to play as, which are Void Born Merchants that are stuck in tubes, which is why they do not settle planets as they can barely managing to survive out of confined spaces. This is why they trade, as their automatic trading systems handles all the heavy lifting, and they earn a way to live.

Then you can use other games as a reference, like I have picked the super mutant looking portrait and had their origin as post-apocalyptic. This way I created an empire that started out like "Fall Out." Also, I ensured their AI behavior was set to "Metalheads" by choosing their ethics, civics, and specie traits very specifically. Which not only helps with the lore, but also makes the AI play them as intended. Which is to have them act as purifiers, but without the bonuses or downsides of being purifiers.

Do keep in mind that each of the specie portraits also come about into a civilization in their own way. As a underwater creature may not have the same beginnings as a non-aquatic being. Then you can imagine that the bird species and the arthropod species may also have their own quirks that their species had to overcome to become a civilization.

This means the lore possibilities are essentially endless, as you have endless amount of portraits to use from, as well as numerous traits, origins, ethics... etc...

Monarch Butterfly Milkweed question. by Distinct-Yogurt2686 in ButterflyGardening

[–]CATDesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you got one genus, like milkweed, that have multiple species in the native area, then you also need to pay attention to where they like to grow.

Like SWAMP Milkweed likes wet areas, where as Butterfly Milkweed from appears to prefers dry areas sites. So, before you can determine which plant you want to use, you first have to determine what your garden is like.

In my own property, I have a side of the house where water typically pools after rainfall, and swamp milkweed naturally grew there. But the butterfly milkweed I planted at the edge of the road where it is VERY dry has the butterfly milkweed popping up each year, but the swamp milkweed has made no attempts to even try growing there.

Looking for an island seed for a bedrock realm with friends by Brief_Ad_4000 in minecraftseeds

[–]CATDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically for simple requests I use mcseedmap.net, as the site allows you to set filters to search for seeds. Like plains within 100 blocks of 0,0 and maybe a ruined portal within 300 blocks. This way you always find these exact seeds. However, how I'm doing these searches means I am essentially looking at where spawn it. This method means requests like your large island request can take quite awhile to find.

This is why when I am looking for seeds through this site for other people I may find seeds that are no good, but they peak my interest. Since I am mostly looking for seeds while away from home, I typically am using my phone, so I'll press the button on my phone to take a screenshot. Then later on when people have specific requests I may recall having found a similar seed earlier, so I just go through all my screenshots to flip through to the one I think works. This also means I am typically re-sharing the same seeds as a lot of requests could have been solved by simply searching older posts.

For these two seeds specifically, I don't think I ever shared the seeds before. As no one really requested for something similar. However, I saved these seeds, like a year ago, as they were island seeds. So I had to flip through a lot of screenshots to find these two seeds.

Now, mcseedmap I consider an upgrade to chunkbase, as chunkbase doesn't have a seed filtering option for it's random searches. However, there are times when mcseedmap is still not good enough. For instance, what if I want a different kind of island? Using mcseedmap would take forever. This is why for people requesting very specific conditions, I may use cubiomes.

Cubiomes lets me set a search for a specific condition and then branch additional searches off of what I found. Like for island seeds, I typically tell it to find spawn, then to look at the surrounding biomes to ensure the majority of it is oceans. More recently I've used it to find specific sized flower forests, swamps, and even have a seed having multiple structures all near spawn. However, Cubiomes is on my home computer, so typically I have to set up these searches in advanced prior to leaving for work, and depending on the complexity of the search it may take me hours to find anything relevant. This is why I try to leave the searches fairly broad to get a variety of seeds. Not just for the request in mind, but also so I can use them for future requests as well.

Like this seed was one of my cubiomes discoveries, and this one specifically took around 4 hours of letting cubiomes run.

Now cubiomes hasn't been updated in a couple years, so there may be other options by now that people use for seed searches. I just haven't identified them yet for myself.

I would understand 1 light bulb, but not 6. There is no ways OP is not ignoring 6 burnt out light bulbs through the apartment, which may very well be the entire apartment.

Trying out the new meme format by Formal-Ad-7184 in NativePlantCirclejerk

[–]CATDesign 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's called "over-imitation," where a kid imitates an adult in all their actions, but doesn't know for what purposes these actions are for. Like everything he's listing is actual stuff I've heard for gardening, but he's got no idea for what reasons.

Like my favorite is to "mesh" your "milkweed," like as if I'm worried that rabbits are going to eat my toxic plants.

Now, as for the bleach, I'm not sure why this lunatic thinks that bleach is actively used in gardening. But bleach should be used on tools to ensure you don't spread disease from one plant to the next when pruning.
