People seemed to like the BotW Hyrule worldgen preset I shared for for Dwarf Fortress a few months ago so I thought I'd share these ones too.
The file contains world prests in different sizes for Cyrodiil (generated from the Oblivion heightmap), Skyrim (generated from the Skyrim heightmap), Vvardenfell (generated from the Morrowind heightmap) the Iliac Bay (generated from the Daggerfall heightmap) and Tamriel (generated from this fanmade heightmap)
Elevation should be relatively accurate bc I generated them from the games' actual heighmaps using PerfectworldDF, althought I had to make some minor alterations (such as connecting the Imperial City Isle to the rest of the world with a little land bridge). I did my best with the biome placement but I'm only human and the DF biome editor is not exactly easy to use, look at this shit:
This was made for classic DF but I've confirmed it works with the Steam version too.
How to use:
Download this world_gen.txt file
Go to your Dwarf Fortress install.
Go to data>init
Replace that folder's world_gen.txt file with this one.
(Make a backup of the old file if you want to keep your old world presets. Or merge the two files into one by copying the entire text of one of them and pasting it at the end of the other)
In game, choose "Design new world with Advanced Parameters"
Choose one of the presets from this file.
Before generating, you can tweak details like history length, number of civs, etc, etc etc.
no storys are about anything btw. you cant expect someone who makes up fake people to tell you anyything about real life. kurt vonnegut? cormac mccarthy? ursula k le guin? those were just some fucked up people who had psychic links to alternate worlds. you can go to those worlds if you take my hand but you probably dont want to. just goes to show i guess
my first newsletter entry is about the work I did this year on my longform comic project, strike the spark! it's about a group of friends in a socialist study club who are trying their best to support their school's union and their impending strike! I hope to finish the book next year. you can read the newsletter here! 🍀
once again going mad with envy that the G-Star E Para line is out of production. That shit all goes so immensely hard and my grubby little hands will never be allowed to touch it.
whuuuuuuoahahahahahaha
no this rules. RIP
nothing that stimulant medication and a coffee and an energy drink and a bump of coke and a good hard slap in the face and seven years in the harsh wilderness and a hug from a friend and a firm prostate milking and 250mg of MDMA crystals and a top of the line gaming PC and a tall glass of water and a distant memory of summer and piano lessons and four 20mg edibles and a sword that hungers for human blood and a well socialized tuxedo cat and a sushi dinner and a leather jacket and a power nap and a single beautiful rod of depleted uranium and regular estradiol injections and a typewritten sheet of paper bearing the solution to the hard problem of consciousness and nipple clamps and a lobotomy and a gun and another coffee can't fix

you can find some of Yefremov's sci-fi in English - at least Andromeda. there is also a fan translation of The Bull's Hour by what looks to me like some sort of esoteric red-brown cult, which means it probably sucks
Are there any actual communist fiction writers from the Soviet Union whose works are accessible in English today?
