A neat game in the same vein as progress knight and groundhog life, but with a much fancier UI. Repeat your life, improving each time, getting more wealth and skill each time!

Reddit user FlorianvanStrien made an idle game in which you're a god trying to build your own world. You can build villages, forests, mystical flowers and more. Build unique village types by surrounding them by specific tiles. For example, a village next to two forests would become a forest village. Feel free to experiment, as you can always get a full refund on any tile you build.

Over time, you'll unlock new tiles with unique production bonuses, or you can spend your power to expand the map.

The game is currently at a prototype stage - there aren't too many tile types yet, although there's already a lot to discover. I expect it to currently take a few days of mostly idle gameplay to discover everything in the game. Depending on feedback, I may expand on the game.

Here's a link to the game: https://flori9.itch.io/worldshaper-idle

It only works on desktop web at the moment, not on mobile.

What are the effects of trees/plants on PM2.5 pollution? Are there plants that catch more? Do damp leaves catch more?

Does watering plants with a mist pull extra microparticles out of the air vs a stream? (if so, Do plants mind or benefit from the extra stuff in their water?)

Are there any "permaculture" solutions for air filtration? Could a filter caked with pm2.5 black carbon and whatnot be useful for anything else? Can I manufacture a filter that will reduce pm2.5 using home grown plant materials?

What if I converted a wall of my shed into all filtration material, made it airtight, and pushed air out the other side of the shed under solar power? How would 100sqft of filter give flexibility of filter media?

If I made a giant/parallelized bong in my backyard that constantly pulled air through water to try to catch microparticles, how big would it have to be to have an appreciable effect?

Interesting projects studying live tree graft joinery techniques - how to guide tree growth into structures with engineered utility.

Neat game that makes you learn a few things about the periodic table of elements as you play. I played it a few years ago, but dusted it off again when someone mentioned it here on Lemmy.

One of my favorite videos from Kirsten Dirksen's lovely channel.

Started my food forest last spring.

• Put down cardboard and covered in alder woodchips
• Planted a couple each of grape, blueberries, olive, marionberry, sichuan peppercorn, green tea - basically trying things out and seeing what works in my climate

Was pleasantly surprised when I got out there this year, and everything made it through the winter! (Albeit some appears to be a popular graze with the deer - could slow growth down a lot if I don't protect soon)

Pulling weeds out of sheetmulched woodchips is great - so easy even though the soil underneath is overly compacted clay sand.

Amazing amount of depth to this game, I have a tab thats been playing this open for months!

AI has decided making paperclips is the most important thing in the universe... lets convert all the matter to paperclips!

This game has an amazing progression to it, I won't say too much because it will surprise you as it unfolds

Arguably the game that started it all. Its a bit outdated at this point, but if you're a fan of the genre, you've gotta at least give it a try.

One of my favs, has a nice theme as well as some cool mechanics
