>Ok, I'm not sure I follow. I get that Fern is the one who accidentally created the Nature Runeling by feeding voidmatter to voidlings, sure. But then why did they go and do it again with Naiad? Do they want another Runeling?
>I think its implied it made the runeling first, then gave it voidmatter which made it big and aggressive. And now is avoiding runes entirely. Granted Fern has a more limited understanding than even us
>She thought her pet was hungry, and wanted to feed it. That does belie the application of organic assumptions to an inorganic being, but it's not like we're not guilty of it as well. It does seem like the aspirational tamer could use a companion more in sync with her traditions, though.
>Hm. Shes repeating an action, but must be doing it more cautiously. Otherwise we'd have a far larger voidling here. Experimentation and the curiosity that inspires it is commendable. We have learned something new about voidlings as a result. However, given how wrong it can go, its not a thing to do unplanned or alone. Larger voidlings, tamed, may be important to this biosphere were trying to bootstrap from, well, nothing. Make sure she knows to tell you next time she tries.
“Fern, I understand you were trying to be helpful, but something like this shouldn’t be done alone. Maybe we can experiment things later… and not on our friends.”
Fern lets out a slow, sad chirp.
>Alright, it sounds like feeding runes to voidlings is bad, and creates Runelings which are hostile(makes sense, runes are basically voidling poop so feeding a voidling runes can't be healthy), but feeding them voidmatter is fine and just makes them progress along a normal evolution line. Hmm, where does voidmatter come from though? I wonder if voidmatter was made by whatever process destroyed these worlds.
>This also implies that "killing" a big one is more akin to splitting them back into smaller ones, but let's not entertain that line of inquiry at this moment.
>huh, good to know... but does this mean we have to worry about our voiding eating each other?
”They haven’t eaten each other yet… So maybe we don’t have to worry about it? We just have to keep them out of where we keep the Voidmatter.”
>Considering we spend runes to expand the island and thus create matter, and then voidlings eat matter to create runes... is that cycle lossy or gainy? Do we want to make our voidlings as big as possible and let them eat bits of the island that we can then rejuvenate via the runes they make? Or will we need to bring in outside materials to keep them fed?
”No idea… I wish there was someone we could ask about this stuff…”
>Also I think this also means that the next time we expand the island we're going to have to make a bigger pond for Naiad.
“We might need to make the island bigger faster Tetsi. It’s starting to become a little cramped.”
“I agree with Master Silv, Master Tetsi. Enhancing your current estate would be quite beneficial, and provide more room for storage and accommodations. Digging out a storage cellar and constructing a…proper dwelling should be high in priority.” Galena says, looking at the shack.
“How do you expand this landmass Master Silv? Do you take smaller chunks and attach them?”
“Not quite? Though we did kinda do that with some small chunks that were floating nearby. We put runes into the Manapulse Nexus, and I gotta focus on stuff? I’ve messed up a few times and got some weird stuff. The pond and the copper behind the shack were originally mistakes.”
