it is slowly dawning on me that this mod will take weeks of work. maybe even months. However, I have the rest of quarantine to go, this is my job now.
so far I've got
- a mastodon logo for .social
-
- a snout (for snouts.online)
- the yiff.life hex
- the goat of hellsite.site
- the radtown
- pawprint for whomst.dog
- selontheweb as representative symbol of godforsaken.website
- a mate gourd for myasstodon
- an efdn.club logo
I need more symbols! @ me a symbol if your instance isn't yet represented and I'll get it in there
emojis work well for this, so if your instance has an emoji you think represents it, do @ me it
note to self: change the language file such that the "Leave Federation" button says "Defederate" instead
If I was REALLY talented, I could make Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit into respective endgame crisis
Reddit would be the scourge, for obvious reasons. and Twitter would be the robot uprising, because algorithm. Facebook or Google would be the interdimensional invasion.
it's been like 12 hours and I'm still going, but I need MORE. send me your emojis, send me your ideas and your huddled masses.
I've got 22 instances represented so far. In total I'd like to have like, at least 50 by the end of this. But, it's time to get some gameplay done, look for some bugs.
ah yes, the eternal art art of hours upon hours of bughunting and troubleshooting. This circus is the closest I'll ever get to actual hacking, so I better try to enjoy it.
what if I literally replaced all of the AI personalities with various fedifolk tropes, and all of their dialogue with actual assorted mastodon posts
witches.live and playvicious.social have spawned next to each other 3 times in a row. this isn't hardcoded I swear
I'm pleased to announce that all food has been replaced with teeth, effective immediately
I'm probably going to make the influence/food conversion into its own mod, and the emblems into its own mod and put them in a fediverse collection. That way people can choose to just play with a specific emblem from the fedi without necessarily also having to eat teeth
It's up!!! (Just the emblems for now, other stuff later) Go download it!

@ItsMorgan @goat @dankwraith @ChaosSkeleton @anarchiv @Snorlaxation@whomst.dog Hey, the fedi-stellaris emblems mod is up! any of you want to play a modded stellaris game sometime?
does anybody have any ideas on what I should replace Energy Credits or any of the other resources with? We already have teeth as food, and clout as influence.
likewise we could change minerals and energy to boosts and favs? or maybe boosts and favs should be somewhere else
not to get everybody too excited or anything, but I might be working on maybe making a couple of voice advisers for the Fediverse-Stellaris project
I have options with so far as namelists are concerned. The fedi has a bad case of scrapes happening, and I definitely don't want to be actually a perpetrator of that, however gathering up EVERYBODY'S consent for their @ to be included in the fediverse mod namelist might be difficult to do.
Option 1. Create fediverse-ish feeling themed namelists that only include users who have actually consented to be included in the mod, but filling in the rest using various online username generators. For instance, a Furry namelist with fursona names pulled from name generators or fursona name databases and wikis. Other potential themes might include Bots, Shitposters and so on.
Option 2. Create just a master namelist, filled with consenting usernames with very little filler, but have it so that the first name is a random user's @ and the last name is an instance domain.
I'd like suggestions for namelist themes as well. Furry is definitely one. Maybe Leftist as a category? What's a "leftist" username even look like anyways? Techy could be a category, I could definitely come up with some tech-mastodon usernames.
Option 2 is definitely less work but it requires greater cooperation on the part of well, everybody here. might be a while before I get a substantial namelist made.
@starwall myass and goblin camp once again go to battle....
@starwall witches.live's days are numbered being squished between efdn and playvicious like that
@norikawa efdn and moon.holiday are apparently rivaled
@starwall one of our users tried moving to moon.holiday but then got themself kicked off for being too rowdy so its like
gfjahsgfjadgfjkagsdkjag
@norikawa amazing
@norikawa rowdy is EXACTLY the word I'd use to describe efdn.club.
@norikawa Kinda like reality?
@starwall OH NO
@starwall May I please have some clout?
@starwall where is it stored though
@starwall thanks :)

@dankwraith @ItsMorgan @goat @ChaosSkeleton @anarchiv @Snorlaxation@whomst.dog that's fine. If I'm hosting everybody can use the DLC that I own and I've got it all

@ItsMorgan holy shit you are literally nocturnal
@dankwraith @ItsMorgan yeah I usually go to bed at 9 a.m. EST and wake up at 6 p.m. EST
@starwall @ItsMorgan this is straight up wild too me
@jordyd @dankwraith @ItsMorgan I lived like this before the quarantine and I can't seem to adjust back to a diurnal lifestyle
@dankwraith @starwall what can i say. i already had a hard time sleeping on time when there wasnt a quarintine
@ItsMorgan yeah we're on the same wavelength then
@starwall notification sounds
@starwall :)
@starwall sorry starwall, but you said the words that will negate the first part of what you said. :3
@starwall welp you've officially made me too excited
alright I'm gonna take a small break from adding instances and their associated symbols to begin work on personalities and namelists
