#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#unfortunately this would be a change and i would have to. alter things...#tbh they probably do have like. ''written language'' in the terms of signage and labels and other things like that#but this probably looks a lot closer to semiotics than proper like. written language.#the true examples of ''written language'' they would have would be less ingrained in their own culture#and moreso a byproduct of contact with the land and produced from that milieu#which would at least deal with the written pieces ive had thus far...#though i havent actually revealed how theyre being used or why#which is its own thing entirely already#basically: DEBATING#INTERNAL DEBATING#this is the problem of having a years old setting#you keep coming up with new stuff and having to change Everything Else you already have
