Well ground deformation is do-able and smoke works (sort of).. So what is a volcano eruption but a combination of those two things.

I meant if there is a way to determine the location of all real world volcanoes that we know of in Outerra. Or if they are just height data that would be difficult to apply volcanic aspects to volcanic features. And find real world volcanos in outerra.

 ... lava flow dynamics (even underwater), fire, melting stuff, lava mass affecting physics of objects and vehicles ... there is always something. :D

We are still undeveloped as long as we don´t realize, that all our science is still descriptive, and than beyond that description lies a whole new world we just haven´t even started to fully understand.

Hi,
i was wondering if its possible to have an interface for products generating random planets like:
https://secure.profantasy.com/products/ft.asp
There you can generate the data ( i do not know how detailed it can be), and it would be cool if your engine could generate the real world out of that.
just my 5 cent  ;)
