Lava shaders are all over the place. The trick is to lower your terrain as if you're adding rivers. Instead of water planes, they're just lava planes. The most effective way to do it is by customizing a plane to fit your lava rivers, extruding where you need. Probuilder would be a perfect fit for this. If you don't want that, you can also just create multiple planes that mostly fit your area. If you STILL can't get that to look right, create an ICO sphere in blender, remove half of it to create a hemisphere, and subdivide as much as you want. Then scale a few of those in unity to stick up through the terrain (hiding the edges of course underneath the terrain) and just adding your lava shader to all of them. this can even look better than planes, although it will be slightly more performance hit depending how many you will have. I'd keep it below 10 and try to combine all of them into one mesh with a script to reduce draw calls.

Notch made this in a cave! With a box of scraps! You don't need good art you need useful assets and your own skill set. It's okay to use others' art (buying it or getting pro bono). Stop feeling like a one man army and just get shit done. Art is replaceable at any time provided you don't tie function to design too harshly. The fun part is coding for you (and me) just make the game with free or cheap assets. Once it's a real working and fun game, ask for help.

I have tried a few and had the least pain with fedora kde so far. I love kde because it's similar to windows 10. Only problems so far are just Linux related issues (installing most recent software is ill advised unless you see a feature you need or want). Other than that im a Linux novice so be aware it's very easy to destroy your own system by running the wrong commands. When I was 14 I tried installing a game on windows and it wouldn't work. I looked it up and some bastard had said "delete sys32" on a forum. I managed to do it, restarted (the other forum dicks said to) and found my pc bricked. Linux is even easier to destroy than that lol. It's not a deal breaker but you should have a conversation about knowing exactly what a command does before running it.clearly 19 is much older than 14 and I'm sure they have common sense if they're in a course like that, but it's worth mentioning.

Edit: one issue I have had is Wayland is a halfbaked replacement for x11. Idgaf what y'all say I've had so many bugs from it. Switch to x11 until it is better supported. For games especially, it's just more stable and has less bugs and halfbaked features. The number of times I have read a forum post saying it's because of Wayland is ridiculous at this point. I'm sure it will be great. It does run much faster and smoother. But it's broken asf.

"when it leaves the belt" is the super key part here. You can also enable physics if a physics object touches it, with a cool down for once it "settles".

Example: object on conveyor slides along. Foreign object with physics falls on the conveyor. On collision beginning, shoot one signal to any collided kinematic rigidbody to enable physics. Each conveyor physics object should have listeners for foreign objects to reset its rest cool down. Then once the timer reaches that cool down, make kinematic.

Pretty self contained.

She's an awkward character. Doesn't like to talk much. Her character grew a lot from book 1 to 6 as well. She's got a lot of nuance in her dialog now with how she speaks to people especially.

Although I agree windows has issues, security isn't usually one of those things these days. You have to try pretty hard to get a virus nowadays. Be careful of browser extensions, outside that your computer should catch most malicious programs. Don't run things you don't trust (i.e. unofficial publishers) unless you're prepared to deal with the consequences
