Street Creation or You Can't Get There From Here

Why do new streets sprout in the locations in Shimala Mirch, Groddle Forest / Heights / Meadow, etc and not at all in Ix, Ilmenskie Caverns or Uralia (at least so far as I can recall, only been Glitching since last December)?

What governs the location of new streets? Is it some world event like temple donations or is it something improbable like a crazy idea popping into the heads of some random giant? I've never been present near a street vendor at the moment of inception of a new project. What happens? Can users influence where streets are created?

For all the collaborative play aspects of the game it seems like users should be involved at least in a small way with the location of new streets. At a minimum there should be some explanation in the world mythos why the street creation process unfolds the way it does.

  • I'm betting your suggestions are probably in the works... but for now they appear as the designers are ready for us to work on them (I think). Some kind of system where the Glitches can donate enough favor to unlock a new Street Project. The back-end would be having enough pre-generated streets to be activated (and their set-up seems perfectly capable of this kind of thing). I'm assuming the projects keep spawning in Groddle and Shimla Mirch because those are the areas the dev's have either fully worked out, or are actively working on.

    They actually used to work a little differently... each time you contributed you got to vote on what went into a particular spot. Each phase was a different element, one was Flowers or Trees, next phase would be Alchemist Vendor or Gardening Vendor... those kind of choices. Not sure which test that went away in.

    When there's a mythos to explain, it will certainly be included... but things aren't 'done' yet, and 'they appear when the dev's open them' isn't really a colorful explanation, but it's what I think actually happens right now.

  • I'm sure it's just whatever the devs have premade in the backend. That's where new streets are.
