I'd like to announce that Edgar posted a new video with a link to a new spreadsheet.

Now, I think there could be another new version for bug fixes, and that the next project could talk about population. Though I don't know how many continents to go for, I got a rough idea. In the current age, TIRA 292b from alien biospheres has two continents, with one as a supercontinent and the other as an island-continent. And Nusku from LAaRDS has five with two islands splitting off one of them. And Earth has 7-8, with India being a subcontinent, and Greenland and Australia being island continents.

This could help you if you're struggling with ideas for continents from the beginning of the conworld to the modern era.

For those who looked at the first episodes of Alien Biospheres and Life Around a Red Dwarf Star, you might remember seeing the continental drift ideas the people behind the projects drew out for their habitable planets. So, I have this idea, and I'll need something more original.

I could try to create another idea for what Pangaea used to be like, and overlap the supercontinent of TIRA 292b's beginning with it

I could try to create another idea for what Pangaea used to be like, and overlap the supercontinent of TIRA 292b's beginning with it. Still, for demo purposes. My recreation of Pangaea would involve replacing Southeast Asia and Oceania with Sunda and Sahul, restoring Doggerland and Zealandia, and removing Central America, then putting the final results together. As for my continental drift plans to know the number of continents in the present day, I drew out an idea that mixes the continental drift plans from Alien Biospheres with a simplification of the split-up of Pangaea into Laurasia and Gondwana, which would split up themselves into the modern continents, with India eventually colliding with Asia.

I'd start off with a supercontinent. Step one, the supercontinent splits into 4. Step 2, two of them rejoin each other while the other two each split. Step three, one piece of those two continents joins a piece of the other, while an island continent breaks off that rejoined continent. Here is my demo so far.

An update: I'm thinking of that bottom-middle continent, after splitting off, moving to the southern pole or close to there

Some of them are lacking arrows, which means they are moving, but I don't know the direction.

I'll reinforce this when we get to the population.

Addendum: I decided to modify the map for better fault lines. And to keep true to Edgar's advice on avoiding cross-intersections.

Pretty interesting if I do say do myself

Pretty interesting if I do say do myself. Also, I'm still new to custom tectonic movement and boundaries.
