| Aug 21, 2022 at 17:05 | comment | added | Halno | @flox After reading your reply my instant reaction was "Why didn't I think of this before!?". In that way, thank you very much. I do realize now that "Farm worlds" might be better in my setting just as vaguely inhabitable worlds that smaller civilizations that can't afford to build such large space structures will use. Again, thank you, this solves my problem perfectly, and as stated by JBH, is a great frame challenge that actually solved many other related problems that shouldn't have been problems in the first place. | |
