The Expansion of Entropia Universe

Information Entropia Universe News

In 2010, ROCKtropia was introduced as the second planet in the Entropia Universe, followed by four additional planets and two moons. In the coming weeks, the sixth planet will be unveiled, marking the dawn of a new era of planetary exploration and user-generated content.

Behind the scenes, MindArk developers have been working on a top-secret initiative known as The Genesis Probe. Looking ahead, Genesis Probes will become available to all participants within the Entropia Universe, granting the opportunity to create fully functional planets of their own. This expansive vision for user-generated content aims to support sustained population growth—mirroring the increasing global interest in virtual worlds and metaverses.

Upon the official release, players will be able to manufacture and launch Genesis Probes to discover and customize and terraform new planets. A dedicated interface will facilitate the design process, from initial prompt-based creation to ongoing updates and refinements. Newly formed planets will be automatically deeded to their creators, who may opt to add these deeds to the Entropia Exchange if they wish.

MindArk has extended an invitation to existing Planet Partners to incorporate these new tools when they become available and remain part of Entropia Universe’s core architecture. The majority deed holder of each planet will control the interface and oversee the planet’s evolution.

Planet Calypso, ROCKtropia, Next Island, ARIS, Monria, Howling Mine and Secret Island will all adopt the Genesis Project technology. However, any existing planet that elects not to transition to the new development tools will face a cataclysmic extinction event within four years ( Hold Over Period). Players holding deeds or items from planets choosing not to transition will be offered compensation options via other participating planets.

This groundbreaking direction is intended to elevate creativity, fuel community engagement, and usher in a future of boundless expansion within the Entropia Universe. Stay tuned for further updates as we embark on this exciting new chapter together.

This is interesting! Could be really great depending on the implementation details! One thing I really don’t like is the extinction event. Why is it up to the planet partner to decide whether to transition? What about the actual Entropians (you know, the primary sources of value in a sandbox) who have invested time and/or PED into everything from property ownership, to Teleporter collection, to geographic knowledge acquisition, etc., etc.? I can’t complain too much about the importance of prioritizing the Entropian over the planet partner though, as this move broadly could become a very positive shift in that direction :slight_smile:

Don’t even know what to say here. I mean it sounds cool and exciting, but what? How? Anyone will be able to make a planet?

A planet is just 0’s and 1’s. Just pick your most preferred arrangement of 0’s and 1’s.

Does this mean that if a planet like Arkadia goes extinct so will Viceroy armor, etc… and players will be offered compensation?

Fingers crossed that Cyrene doesn’t go extinct ?

What planet is this:

You guys thought there was a lot of deeds now. Just you wait.

Land Area Owners How do you feel?

Planet Partners, how do you feel?

Also what’s this?

Is this the first Toulan, Cyrene and Arkadia are hearing about this?

Where will these Probes be? Someone anyone can freely travel to in space?

A “House Portal” like Old School Runescape and similar games Player Owned House Systems?
If so where will this portal be?

Is Space getting removed if those planets become extinct?
Will those planets be removed when they become extinct?
When you say compensation what do you mean? Ped value of any materials, resources, weapons, armor etc from the planet?

Would that mean Cyrene’s Armor, which is one of the best armors in the game, will be removed?
What about Lazidol Lures? Will I not be able to sell them still for 3p each?

What does this mean for coding purposes of objets, material, resources, monsters etc?
Will I be able to use OTHER PLANETS resources, materials, monsters etc. for my planet?
For example, can I use Tabtab hide+ Lazidol lure + Atria Skin + Nusel teeth and combine it to create an item that spawns a Frakenstein’s Monster mob that drops stuff?

Will I be able to set the mobs hp, rarity of resources, quantity of resource on/in the planet?

Can I create different tamable mobs?
on the Planet can I have deeds for houses, stalls, shops like Calypso has?

How much will it cost?

Will I be able to make 100% Efficient weapons with 10 DPP and bring them to other planets?

What’s the upkeep? Ped? Other Resources?

Don’t we have an issue with most planets loots already being worthless?

Does this now mean we can have 500 planets worth of worthless resources and materials?

Can we make blueprints?
Can we make vehicles?
Can we make vehicles shaped like animals so we have ridable mounts?

Can we make sexually graphic content?

Full dong on monsters like Boorum on Calypso?

Can we add Copyrighted items like Rocktropia has?

Can we add Copyrighted monsters like Megatron and Mickey Mouse and that octobussy from The Little Mermaid?

Can I make all my content a specific language? I only want people who can read Spanish be on my planet.

Can I make and design quests for my planet? Can I add in voice acting?

How often can I update my planet? once a VU like other planets in the past?
Can I have ACTUAL Dynamic Events where the buildings get hurt and people have to repair with resources.

Like a better looking and better version of the robot base events.
And a way better version than the Private server Dynamic events yall just made?

What if, we got our customers to PAY US to make the game for us? Wouldn’t that be awesome?!

Feeling cynical today.

Nothing at all …erm… “offer you can’t refuse style” then?

I wonder too how small a planet can be, or how much work to design and what the cost will be (or value for the shares system…)

Ok, so launching probes to discover new planets presumably means that they will exist in advance according to some procedural generation or so, but then ‘unlockable’ with further adaptation and design tools.
I wonder if there will only be one size/range/cost of the probe, or various crafted ones to send off into the unknown, with initial stats being delivered a bit like varied loot, but at a planetary scale…
Prompt-based sounds like AI will interpret design wishes initially, so be careful what you wish for??? ;p

Is ARIS the first test-bed new planet, so that people can get an idea of the scope? Will this coincide with UE5, and will both the old and new EUs have access to this new feature?

Read this like 3x, that’s massive news ?

Trying to get my head around how it will work, only thing i can think similar would it be like similar to how roblox works? Where you can essentially create your own world within the bigger game?

Will we get comment from cyrene? Is ancient Greece coming with next island? (I noticed secret island got a mention but not ag). Is aris the new planet?

This. WTF are they smoking did CelesteAI suggest this and someone at the top thought it was a good idea?
The small playerbase we have can barely sustain Calypso economy let alone current planets, now you want to force other PPs to join this new system or delete everything about them including players items from said planets to prevent getting sued from said PP’s?

Imagine getting the stable assassinator weapon from cyrene then having it get deleted.

You guys can never cease to surprise me and not in a good way..

Well, it solves kill stealing if nothing else, because everyone will be hunting on their own planet. Off my lawn!

So there will likely be upkeep costs, can i sell the deed or transfer ownership, how do people discover my unique planet by tp or space flight , do they disintegrate if not maintained , can a soc automatically share in the revenue if all contribute toward costs, im guessing its taxed hunting only , once built can we update our designs ? So many questions.

Exactly, every other planet except calypso is more or less dead

And people don’t say “No they aren’t nu uh”

Yes the fuck they are, having combined less listing on the Auction House than Calypso.

Then again, Calypso is dead also.
