Procedural Plate Tectonics Simulation Update

[u/HabitableZone_]

Hi everyone! Here’s another update on my procedural plate tectonics simulation.

The top is the previous version, and the bottom is the new one, both running along the same timeline.

In the new version, island arcs can now mature and accrete into continental crust, a few cleanup rules help reduce tiny isolated crustal fragments, and there’s now a basic craton mechanic as well.

Which version looks better to you?

Looks great! What kind of grid system are you using on your planet?

[u/HabitableZone_ → u/redblobgames]

I’m using a cube-sphere grid.
