So the main ranks of this pack are words describing levels of solitude? Quite clever...

QuoteI'm not sure the successive ranks are supposed to show the path of increasing detachment ?

Yes, basically. The main endpoint being the pack's name "Isolation".

QuoteIf yes, then I'd say the first step Belonging → Detachment is a bit brutal, whereas all the other steps show increasing degrees of detachment, this one shows two opposite words.
Maybe change belonging for a slighter form of detachment, or add an intermediate ?

I do want to start at the point where one is "belonging" to a group. So not already distancing and only after that starting to feel detached from the group (rank 2 onwards).
I agree that it is the most extreme step in here, but other words sounded even more extreme or not that fitting.

Quote"Detachment" can either mean "the state of being detached" or "the process of detaching". If you read it as meaning the process, the name works fine.

Yeah, this is exactly what I mean.

Quote from: IchoTolot on July 07, 2026, 07:17:16 PMI thought a bit about the main 5 difficulty ranks, how do people feel about:

Belonging → Detachment → Withdrawal → Alienation → Isolation

The thrid step I found difficult.
I also thought about "Disconnection", "Estrangement" and "Apathy".
The first 2 are a bit close to the other words though and I think slightly prefer "Withdrawal" to "Apathy".

Apart from that words sounds fine, and I'm still not sure I get the meanings right.

Thank you two for the kind words and feedback! 

Coolness! I really like those rank names. Good luck with your level pack, I can't wait to play it sometime!

Those sound perfect!

To be clear, cycling will always be an option.

It's now accessible via settings/NLCEClearPhysicsColors.nxmi and will remain so indefinitely.

The default is for the colours to remain static following Simon and Proxima's comments, but perhaps we should revert to the status quo as the default (so, gadget shapes cycle, everything else is static)?

Your silence = the colors will be static by default (and can still be set to 'cycle' via the .nxmi)
