[POLL!] What happened to Glitterworld term, replaced by "Urbworld?

[dearmad]

Glitterworld was a far more evocative term, I think. Or is it still in the game?

Ultratech medicine? Blech!!!!

[Injured Muffalo]

Everyone misses the glitter.  :)

Was there some sort of copyright problem?

I can't imagine, since the first page of Google results is Rimworld-related.

Thirding the question of why it was changed. Seems completely unnecessary.

Ultratech medicine? Blech!!!!

I prefer the word of Glitterworld Medicine.

Ultratech sounds more like meh... to be honest.

Why not the word Glittertech or Glitter-Medicine?

C'mon everyone has dreamed of what a glitterworld in rimworld's universe is like as the game and fiction primer has is said it very beautiful and hi-tech.

Was there some sort of copyright problem?

Or should i say. Tynan and Ludeon wants it to sound simple.

I will make a minimod that returns the word gliterworld medicine and other some minor jazz if i'm not being lazy.

EDIT:

It's just called Ultratech because that's the tech level; it doesn't necessarily come from a glitterworld. I've been trying to standardize things a bit towards the RW tech levels (Neolithic, medieval, industrial, spacer, ultratech, archotech).

Renaming an item this late? I don't know why we even bother with this game anymore. This is almost as bad as the door incident.

What better time to standardize the naming of things then before the actual official release? You do realize the game is still technically in a beta, right? This is literally the time for polish and final tweaks.

It was a sarcastic remark in reference to the "literally unplayable" door incident where the graphics were off by one pixel.

Seems arbitrary, but that's Tynan's answer. I guess it makes sense. We don't have Rimworld Medicine or Mid/Urbworld Medicine. At the same time though, there's no other ultratech (to my knowledge), and you can really only get the stuff from trade ships, or off people that are from/had dealings with those civilizations, so I don't see why we wouldn't keep the name. Maybe he's planning more ultratech, Idunno.

Adding my vote to bring back Glitterworld.  There's value in standardizing, but not when it takes away one of the really cool little details that make the game world feel authentic.

[Adamiks]

Glitterworld adds some uniqueness to the game, if glitter stuff like just gets renamed to "ultratech" i imagine that most new players won't come in touch with the term Glitterworld for some time, or pay it no mind, which is kinda sad to think about. Just the word itself adds up so much hype and potentially inspires modders to fill in the Glitterworld niche (like it already has)

[Tynan]

Glitterworld stuff is still in the game (backstories). All I changed was the medicine, since it's not necessarily from a glitterworld, it'd be weird to name it that. So it's named for its tech level.

[Syrchalis]

I understand the reason, but I must say when I read about a medicine it just puts a lot more images in my head to read "it's from one of this super advanced worlds, called glitterworlds" than "it's this super high tech medicine".

I've been bamboozled.

Glitterworld medicine still works as a colloquial name for advanced tech even if it's not literally from a glitterworld. Plenty such examples in real life
