Eh, that one will allow us to use the otherwise horrifying-looking Leshy of this type more widespread.
Man, that sounds like an Iron Maiden or Blind Guardian song just waiting to be written.
Yeah and the glass dome need to be thick enough to filter harmful solar radiation, but even with such considerations, you can still easily design a thousand of times more efficient habitat.
The elemental planes are dangerous though, it's a far better idea to just import raw materials from them, and use those raw materials to build space habitats, it's not like we're going to run out of space around the sun any time soon, and when we do we just start building around a new sun.
We aren't going to use up the sun, we are just going to use up the prime space for settlements around the sun, then we are going to go to the nearest star and begin all over again.
I humbly direct you to the quest's tags ...
We already have most of the things we need to make them, we just need a way to mass produce lead lined glass, in great enough quantities to block all the radiation you encounter in space, from there we just put up portals to the planes of Earth Water and air, and assemble our space habitats.
O'Neill habitats with a permanent portal to the elemental plane of fire/positive energy plane serving as 'sun'?
glasssteel. And you don't need windows, that's what divination and illusion is for.
That needs to be done in person, dude. It's not really something you should be talking about via Sendings or Whispering Brazier. Our group going their next month can make a sales pitch.
We could also sell to Amrelath, on credit.
Permanent portals are expensive, why would we give every habitat, one when we can just use the perfectly good natural suns found on our plane? It's not like we will run out of them anytime soon, the universe contain trillions of suns(or more)
The whole point of being close to the sun, is getting sunlight and heat for farming, so while you don't need to be able to see though the glass, it need to let the rays needed for plant growth though, while blocking the rays that harm life.
They're "expensive", but not really expensive when you're talking about the scale involved in constructing artificial habitat structures in the void of space. At that point, dropping a bit less than 10,000 IM on a Permanent portal Gate is barely worth a footnote.
Yeah but how big are they, I don't think a single portal to the realm of fire, could serve as the sun for a whole country, so a country sized habitat would need multiple portals.
What do you mean evacuation zones? Even without mass reincarnation available our population is going to exponentially increase, the surface of Planetos wont be able to fit them sooner or later, so we will either have to move underground or into space, and space is clearly the superior option, dyson swarm habitats are going to be the standard living space for our people in the future, living on a planet, will be something less than 1% of our people will do.
