Following worldbuilding tutorials - TJ's Conglomeration of Learning

I'm primarily following Artifexian's tutorials for building the geography & climate for my new world, but I'll also be cross referencing it with tutorials from Worldbuilding Pasta, [Madeline James Writes](https://www.madelinejameswrites.com/worldbuilding-guide), [Geoff's Climate Cookbook](https://web.archive.org/web/20130619132254/http://jc.tech-galaxy.com/bricka/climate_cookbook.html), and likely some guides on reddit and the [Cartographer's Guild](https://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=27118). I've decided to put notes on these in their own folder and use this as an index for them. Most will be just me taking notes for myself as I go along! #### Galaxy crunching: [[Artifexian 01 - Star System]] ✅ [[Artifexian 02 - Planetary System]] ✅ [[Artifexian 03 - Galaxy]] ✅ [[Artifexian 04 - Tweaks]] ✅ [[Artifexian 05 - Habitable planet]] ✅ [[Artifexian 06 - Moon]] ✅ [[Artifexian 07 - Apparent size & brightness]] ✅ [[Artifexian 08 - Galaxy tweaks]] ✅ To do: - [ ] Name planets of home star system - [ ] Give placeholder names to neighbouring star systems - [ ] Assign star types to neighbouring star systems #### Plate tectonics (simplified route): This is the route I normally take for my worldbuilding, though previously I've skipped tectonic history entirely and just drawn in the modern day plate boundaries and slapped some landmasses on top before moving on to mapping the climates.

I'd run into a few issues that I didn't really understand, so having a second go at it made more sense! > >In my second attempt I got the hang of GPlates a lot better, but then started to rush too much in excitement and overlooked messy flowlines, so I'll try again in Attempt 3 | Attempt 1 | Attempt 2 | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [[Artifexian 09 - Plate tectonics overview]] ✅ [[Artifexian 10 - Creating a supercontinent]] ✅ [[Artifexian 11 - First 100 million years]] ✅ [[Artifexian 12 - Subduction zones & island arcs]] ✅ [[Artifexian 13 - Splitting comoving plates]] ✅ | [[Artifexian 10 - (attempt 2)]] ✅ [[Artifexian 11 - (attempt 2)]]✅ [[Artifexian 12- (attempt 2)]] ✅ [[Artifexian 13- (attempt 2)]] ✅ | [[Artifexian 14 - Microcontinents]] ✅ [[Artifexian 15 - Island arc collisions & accreting terrain]] [[Artifexian 16 - Continent collisions]] [[Artifexian 17 - Final evolution & orogeny]] [[Artifexian 18 - Large igneous provinces & hotspots]] [[Artifexian 19 - ]] [[Artifexian 20 - ]]
