many of the caves have Dimensions that seem to dare to fit a train inside do you have specific things in mind for separate caves and SL or areas of the map, yeah, we try to like especially caves that have resource nodes in them we try to make accessible with trains to give people the option to build train lines in them if they wish to do so or you know belt buses or whatever whatever people want at least enough space to actually do something with it and build Factory inside so yeah like those with nodes very much intended and also sometimes it's cool to have a bigger tunnel, and I mean specific things in mind to for separate caves and our areas of the map I mean mostly when it comes to climate it's like caves that are exist in a dry climate such as the Doom desert we didn't want to make sort of your standard like cave that is made of, like Limestone and has water on the inside and stall TI and stall mites like we would want to make them dry cave Sandstone cave so we've specifically made some assets for those, and we also we very much had a rule set of like how if the cave is very open it is also less humid so things like stellic tites and stellic mites wouldn't be as occurring so we had some sort of like World building rules for the caves internally but M basically we made a a of assets that we could use for any cave at any place in the map and then sometimes if the cave was more open, or if there was an open transition from cave to the biome we would mix in assets of the biome that the cave was in to sort of transition more naturally or just have a little bit more of a special feeling of making this cave feel like it really is only this is the kind of cave that's this area only right, yeah I mean yeah something that's fun about the caves is like a ton of people have actually worked on caves not just me like it was a whole like there have been a ton of people that have worked on on like just cuz we have like a like roughly like 150 caves maybe maybe a little less, than that, that's that's a lot, and, yeah we we had like people who whoever was interested essentially in just trying out World building or or just helping out or had some time could jump in and just get a cave to to to build entually so they all they all got the same like set of assets and the same like set of rules to work with of like okay don't just don't like don't do these things do do the these things otherwise go wild so a lot of different caves have been built by different people which is pretty cool madman yep
