Feature Request: Ephemeral Planetoids

[AbbyRead]

I kind of assumed going to a random planet and not plopping down a travelnet was basically just hopping to a temporary dimension that you could wreck without permanent memory consequence. But if each of them is persistent, that could really build up over time and clog a server with stuff that'll go unused forever. I don't know, maybe it's not a big deal, but it just feels like it would be a good sort of roguelike option for extending the gameplay if we didn't have to worry about savegame bloat while exploring.

so like, a temporary dimension?
not a thing unfortunately

also planetoids are so big that erasing them would be very laggy

delete_area?

yes i used it a lot when making mapgen

[The4codeblocks]

that was quick

Good to know. I honestly had no idea if this was feasible or not. I just figured hopping to random planets was like the Nook Miles islands in ACNH where you could devastate an ecosystem just to plunder wealth with no consequences. But I don't know enough about Luanti or SBZ to know if it was doable or easy. I guess in that game though it's a LOT less data to delete, and I don't even remember if you could save on 'em.

Thanks for the reply and consideration anyhow. 👍🏻
