Would anyone be interested in publishing room tutorials that recommend which agents to incorporate and where to put them in order to make a room livable? For example, I'd really like to use Chione, but i don't really want to take the time to figure out what I should put where in order to make it liveable. Or perhaps just some suggestions for inspiration.

I've also always liked the biodome but ran into the same issue there. :\

Do you mean setting up empty rooms? For example, the Garden Box is really an excellent agent to use for constant food sources in empty metarooms?

I've found that separating out food sources, so that they only have acess to one or two kinds of food in a given area, helps prevent creatures from bunching up.

I never, ever use food sources that can be permanently wiped out by hungry norns. Once they get to a certain population creatures can easily wipe out an entire meta room worth of normal plants.

Part 5 of the Creating a Metaroom series briefly touches upon this topic, providing the basics for supporting norn life in a room. :)

I was thinking of something that would be more specific for certain metarooms. Like "In chione i always put a barrier by the lake at the bottom left to prevent norns from drowning" etc. In other words, suggestions that people who use the metarooms extensively have learned that others may not realize.

Maybe a suggestions section for each metaroom in the downloads section, similar to comments?

I have a few of those for Veridia and the Biodome that might suit your needs..?

Wow, I posted this thread five days ago and it's already been pushed back to the 2nd page of Help forum threads. :o

That would be great, DarbyDoo! Maybe you can post them in the Resources section? :)
