Lines: 28 Nntp-Posting-Host: sirius On the subject of SimEarth challenges. I am having difficulty in generating large land masses. During the geospheric phase my land masses are constantly torn apart by any level of continental drift (I actually have to turn it off to combat this), and eventually the water level rises to the stage that all I have left by the evolution phase is a couple of rapidly shrinking islands. By the time I reach the civilization time scale very little land mass is left at all. Can someone provide me with some ideas for nuruturing my planet so that I can create some large (stable) continents.
