Terraformers are creature / functions which can continuously alter the basic landscape according to specific patterns. They can make a world for you!... It just probably won't look that good.

*Conway Game of Lifes are not really considered to be creatures by the game, rather top tiles that can shift terrain.
**Grey Goo not included due to its destructive and "non-terraformic" nature

More Info[edit]

Creature Specific Info[edit]

God Finger[edit]

God fingers can create sand, plain soil, forest soil, hill and mountain tiles but once spawned a god finger will only draw one of these terrain types; the terrain type is randomly chosen, and not affected by the terrain type which the god finger is placed on. You cannot inspect the character menu of a god finger without the use of mods, you can still give them some traits by using trait rain powers (try giving a god finger burning feet and death nuke). When the god finger draws over creatures (except worms and other god fingers), it deals 100,000 damage.

Conway Game of Life(s)[edit]

Conway Game of Life is a function based on the real Conway Game of Life. Unlike all the other terraformers, it is not considered a creature in the game. They can be removed by acid or using the life eraser.

Conway Game of Life is a cellular automation invented by English mathematician John Conway in 1970. The rules of the game are as follows. Every cell interacts with its eight neighbors, which are the cells that are horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent. At each step in time, the following transitions occur:

  1. Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if by underpopulation.
  2. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation.
  3. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overpopulation.
  4. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_Game_of_Life</ref>.

Over the years, people have discovered many different Conway of Game of Life patterns which have interesting behaviors. For example, gliders will continuously move diagonally until they hit a map border, guns can repeatedly emit new gliders, etc. More interesting patterns can be found at the Conway’s Game of Life wiki. You can also play Conway’s Game of Life online.

Worm[edit]

Not to be confused with the worm food, this worm can actually interact with your world despite not having any physical appearance. It raises every tile it goes under 1 level higher. The only way the worm’s location can be visually determined is by looking for slightly lighter tiles that the worm has traveled under (though they can also be found using the debug menu with the OverlayActorMobs debug). Although inspection of the character menu of a worm is impossible without the use of mods, they can still be given traits through the use of the trait rain powers.

Sand Spider[edit]

Sand spiders replace tiles with sand. It replaces a maximum of 10 blocks of sand and then immediately dies afterward. Multiple sand spiders can be repeatedly spawned by holding down the screen or left-click, even if the FastSpawn debug option is disabled.

Printer[edit]

Printers are spawned when any Printer power is used. The only way to observe the creatures is by pausing the game as they are the fastest creatures in the game by far. They have an identical appearance to a Black Langton Ant. Currently they make up a set of 14 powers which, when used, summons a printer that raises the ground in certain a formation up by at least 1 level. They all have the same in-game description but what they each make is different. They also have full resistance against knockback and cannot be targeted by any attack from another creature, they die once their job is complete.

Langton Ants[edit]

These ants are based off Langton's ant, "Langton's ant is a two-dimensional Turing machine with a very simple set of rules but complex emergent behavior". To learn more about Langton's Ant see this website.

Trivia[edit]

  • Strike a god finger with lightning gives you "Move it!" achievement
  • When printing the heart, it awards you with the achievement "Print Love" which unlocks the Mega Heartbeat trait
  • Reaching level 75 on the worldbox discord gives you the god finger role
  • Printers can be spawned without the printing data, but they will become glitched out and cannot take damage, and stop updating your screen while the simulation is active
  • The QR code leads to here when scanned
  • There is an unused print (image file)
  • God Fingers were added in version 0.1.36
  • Worms were added in version 0.1.20
  • The Langton Ants are first mentioned in the official changelogs on version 0.1.70
