A '''world''' is the location that a Sapiens game takes place in. Every world consists of a unique planet larger than Earth, generated by a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_seed seed].

== Generation ==
When a player presses the "Create world" button on the main menu, They are shown a planet with a panel on the left showing it's ''seed'' and the options that were used to create it. By default, all sliders will be in the middle. The options given when creating a world are "World Name, Seed, Sea Level, Rainfall, Temperature, Continent Size, Mountain Height, Hills Size" and "Hills Height."

==== World Name ====
World names are pseudorandomly generated using a short list of [[Toki Pona]] nouns and adjectives to create a name. Often these names do not make that much sense when translated to English.

== Trivia ==

* Every world in the game has a surface area of 884,279,719km<sup>2</sup> according to a graphic posted by Dave Frampton, the developer. This is 57.6% larger than the surface area of Earth in real life.
* In colder environments like the north pole, Sapiens will wear coats to keep themselves warm.
* In hotter environments like the equator or desert, Sapiens are more likely to have a dark skin tone as they produce more melanin.

Animals

Ross:

=Animals=
Animals spawn in the map, and have their own behaviours. They can be hunted for the resources they provide, primarily food and utilities such as [[Woolskin | woolskins]].

== Alpaca ==

The Alpaca is a herbivorous animal found all across the world. In the game's later stages, they may be hunted and butchered for [[Alpaca Meat]] and [[Woolskin | Alpaca woolskins]]

[[File:Alpaca_with_Shadow.png|220px|right|Alpaca]]

=== Research and Utility ===

Alpacas can be researched to unlock the "[[Skills|Spear Hunting]]" skill.

=== Spawning Behavior ===

Alpacas spawn periodically in 'migrating groups'.

== Mammoth ==
[[File:Mammoths.jpg|400px|right|Group of Mammoths]]
A Mammoth is a large herbivorous animal found all across the world. In the game's later stages, they may be hunted and harvested for [[Mammoth Meat]] and [[Woolskin | Mammoth woolskins]], a fairly decent food source. Mammoths are exceedingly dangerous because if a [[Sapien]] gets too close, it will be attacked and most likely killed.

=== Research and Utility ===

Mammoths can be researched to unlock the "[[Skills|Spear Hunting]]" skill.

=== Spawning Behavior ===

Mammoths spawn in groups, which migrate from one end of the map to the other. Occasionally, this can be a little annoying as they must be given a wide berth to avoid casualties.

== Chicken ==

[[File:chicken.png|250px|right|A Single Chicken]]
The Chicken is an herbivorous animal found all across the world. In the game's later stages, they may be hunted and butchered for [[Chicken Meat]].

=== Research and Utility ===

Chickens can be researched to unlock the "[[Skills|Basic Hunting]]" skill.

=== Spawning Behavior ===

Chickens spawn periodically in 'migrating groups'.

Sapien

[[File:Male_Sapien_wearing_a_coat.png|thumb|A male Sapien in a coat.]]
=Sapien=
A sapien is a human that lives in the game. These sapiens make up your tribe and do the work that the tribe needs.

==Age==
Each sapien has an age associated with it, representing its current stage of life. This can be viewed in the tribe window, listing the sapiens of the tribe, or by directly clicking on the sapien. There are 4 primary stages of life of a sapien.

===Baby===
For a short time after birth, a sapien will be carried by its mother, shown by the mother’s status of “carrying baby”, which prevents [[Skills|skills which require heavy lifting]] from being performed.
===Child===
After growing up from being a baby, a sapien will be independent, and a child, until age (Insert age here). Children are distinguishable from their small size, and they function mostly as an adult sapien, although they are unable to perform skills which require heavy lifting, and are unable to become pregnant or carry a baby.
===Adult===
During this phase of life, which makes up the majority of the lifespan of a sapien, a sapien can perform all tasks, provided it is not carrying a baby or pregnant, both of which prevent skills which require heavy lifting from being performed. It can also become pregnant and have children if it is female.
===Elderly===
Elderly sapiens (past the age of 60[please confirm]) will be unable to perform tasks which require heavy lifting, and cannot get pregnant or have children (please confirm). They will have gray hair, and require more rest, and get overworked and fatigued more easily.

===Death===
All sapiens die eventually. For a full list of details, see [[Death|the page on death]]

A '''world''' is the location that a Sapiens game takes place in. Every world consists of a unique planet larger than Earth, generated by a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_seed seed].

== Generation ==
When a player presses the "Create world" button on the main menu, They are shown a planet with a panel on the left showing it's ''seed'' and the options that were used to create it. By default, all sliders will be in the middle. The options given when creating a world are "World Name, Seed, Sea Level, Rainfall, Temperature, Continent Size, Mountain Height, Hills Size" and "Hills Height."

==== World Name ====
World names are pseudorandomly generated using a short list of [[Toki Pona]] nouns and adjectives to create a name. Often these names do not make that much sense when translated to English.

== Trivia ==

* Every world in the game has a surface area of 884,279,719km<sup>2</sup> according to a graphic posted by Dave Frampton, the developer. This is 57.6% larger than the surface area of Earth in real life.
* In colder environments like the north pole, Sapiens will wear coats to keep themselves warm.
* In hotter environments like the equator or desert, Sapiens are more likely to have a dark skin tone as they produce more melanin.

[[File:Create_World.jpg|600px|thumb|right|The 'Create World' interface]]
[[File:Rendered_World.jpg|600px|thumb|right|A rendered world]]

When you start a new [[worlds|world]], you are met with a user interface which allows you to customize your world. You are able to customize the world name and seed, along with the sea level, rainfall, temperature, continent size, mountain height, hills size and hills height. You are also able to select mods to use in this world.

==Digging==
You are able to dig to sea level in any location, but there is a limit to how steep slopes can be made. In order to dig deeper, you will need to have adjacent tiles steeper.

As you dig down, the material changes in order:

<ul>
<li>Grass</li>
<li>Sand</li>
<li>Dirt</li>
<li>Gravel</li>
<li>Rock</li>
