oh hey look this rock is slightly grayer than the rocks in the other cave I saw, what good content

that is interesting out in actual nature, and partially because you can use the information you see in the world to understand the procedural generation behind it. what if nms's procedural generation system actually involved a coherent and discoverable system of geology? that be something

Much like procedurally generated games, the fun part is building the machine that does stuff, not riding in the actual machine itself.

haha yeah, ive made procedural systems for making maps with certain features out of hexogonal board game tiles (draw tiles from procedurally selected premixed stacks, and have features on the tiles determine how or if they are placed, credit to the game Tikal) for civilization type board game ideas. i havent done anything good with it or immediately plan to, but setting up a system is a fun challenge itself.
