Ah, that is starting to look more like a planet than a moon, now that there is vegetation in. Talking of vegetation, I have a question about land use. This seems to be mostly mountains and city. Unless your story is set in a city that is placed like LA or NY – with cultivated areas to the left of the mountains or the right of the pic – where does this city get its food? I don’t see any farm land. I’m sorry – this does sound so critical – I’m really just trying to be helpful and help you create a workable environment for your story. 🙂

Good question 🙂 You know how I mentioned that vents and lava tubes would fit in with my story? That’s because I have massive underground spaces known as “groves” where food is grown. The groves are left over from a now lost civilisation and have nature spirit guardians (old Artifical Intelligences). Unfortunately for thr city of Shade this is insufficient and they rely upon food from “upstream” to make up the difference. Part of the drama is the impending loss of the latter 🙂 Thankyou for showing so much interest – I am chuffed by your feedback 🙂
