World Building Day 3

Creating Carbon Based Lifeforms

Everything in design has a function to serve. In terms of a coconut, it is grown up high in a tree and must survive a fall to the ground. It must also float or travel to get to other places. It is a primitive sailing craft to be able to get to other islands/areas. The salt and water will become acidic which will eventually crack open the coconut along the seam to open up and plant a seed. Once the shell opens up, it becomes compostable which gives nutrient to the seed as well as catch dirt which will allow for the sed to grow. In nature you need to be able to serve multiple functions in order to survive.

Cultures are place based. Think about this location, those are the resources that the culture will have. Who's going to be in my landscape that could become a motif? What are the colors, you cannot make colors that do not exist. Some one gets to eat, someone gets eaten. Overall ecosystems are corporative. Birds will eat fish from the top of the ocean, fish eat organisms at the top of the ocean, and organisms need nutrients that the birds defecate. Everything has to stay in balance.

Biotic which is the living source and the abiotic is the nonliving (water source). Deserts have little biology due to the harshness of the environment where as green forests tend to have abundant life due to the resources available in that environment. How is the predator and who is the prey? How fast do things adapt depends on their reproductive cycle. What kind of plant is the primary energy, who's going to eat it, who's going to eat them, who;s going to die and become food for the organisms?

You are going to design a nitch in your planet. You will zero in on one area of the eco-system. What is the primary creature in that ecosystem and what are the sub species that help that organism? Think about this area being in balance.
