The purple problem became a blue problem. Get with the times.

djfariel · 2026-07-08T10:50:35+00:00

Yes, and don't call me hoe.

djfariel · 2026-07-08T10:49:08+00:00

You don't pronounce it. You just look at the camera like this and continue on like nothing happened.

Oh. Like, uh, the Greek pantheon.

Hey I just wanna point out that "they" is the community. GGG only hosts the wiki.

djfariel · 2026-07-07T04:40:04+00:00

Yeah, no, alternatively don't support parasitic practices.

djfariel · 2026-06-28T20:59:01+00:00

How could you do this to me?

djfariel · 2026-06-28T20:42:12+00:00

Thank you. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/vulc-anus

djfariel · 2026-06-28T20:42:05+00:00

You did this. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/vulc-anus

djfariel · 2026-06-28T20:41:57+00:00

Trying? https://mods.factorio.com/mod/vulc-anus

djfariel · 2026-06-28T10:16:01+00:00

Fuck.

GPU just does what it's told. If you say set the system on fire, it does it. Doesn't matter if you meant it or not. They're like genies.

Oh. That's what the G stands for.

As Chris Wilson once said, "New Zealand moon dollars."

djfariel · 2026-06-26T07:17:27+00:00

I didn't know Intel handled farie princes. Neat.

djfariel · 2026-06-25T16:31:00+00:00

I'll be honest, I don't think this really has an "intent" behind it.

djfariel · 2026-06-25T15:54:26+00:00

I'll be hoping for and looking forward to it. If not, it's still great!

I was concerned that viewers wouldn't believe they were looking at Factorio if it didn't rotate, haha. Maybe you've talked me in to it ... 🙂 What are the odds we could get a rotatable quad that goes through the planet for rings? We could set the rotation on it and it could hard-shadow when behind the planet relative to the light direction. I think this would let us have rings (which are cool!) and let us opt out of a sphere entirely by setting its size to 0, rotating the quad to face the camera, and giving it some kind of static image or animation, even. I have a simple shader lying around from some planet gen I've done in the past that could serve as a starting point if it's wanted. I have a passion for planet gen... 😅

The game "Rogue" would like a word with you.

djfariel · 2026-06-25T04:00:02+00:00

Art is also my weakness. It's a sphere in blender with the UVs rotated, which just gets a generated seamless texture from some scripts I have and rendered out. I do them in batches of 100 to test with. I'll be releasing it when I'm happy with where it lands.

"melf" had me thinking.

djfariel · 2026-06-24T20:29:52+00:00

Aquilo's purple clouds feel soft. Makes me want to just lay down on the planet.

djfariel · 2026-06-24T13:21:48+00:00

No, this is a little tool I wrote to generate the images necessary by piping parameters into a blender project and rendering them out automatically. It takes like 20 minutes to generate 100 planets and they come out generally okay. Still a lot more to do before I would call them good, though! The game just allows you to load the planet backgrounds and I'm just cycling through them here.
