from

there
would
be
some
kind
of
mineral
sediment,
e.
g.
from
the
blood-seabirds
doing
what
they
do.

ate
what
it
could,
generating

spots,
and
leaving
mineralized
rock
in
other
places.
The
texture
used
for
island

in
this
version
is
that
of
granite,
which
is
incorrect,
because
granite
is
a
metamorphic
rock,
and
all
layers
on
this
map
would
be
sedimentary.
Alternatively,
some
bedrock
could
actually
have
pre-existed,
and
the
areas
around
would
be
coagulated
sediment.
I
think
i'll
go
for
this
in
the
next
version,
making
middle
areas
less
bloody,
and
side
areas
more
bloody.
Just
need
to
figure
out
a
proper
cycles
program
for
that,
because
merely
altitude
will
likely
be
insufficient.

Given that the actual water is not nearly opaque enough to be blood, and working from assumption that it actually contains blood, it would mean that it's a blood/saltwater mix of some kind. Generally, all kinds of microorganisms would simply consume all those proteins, and leave the water clean after a while, so there might be a fresh source of that.

Alternatively, some bedrock could actually have pre-existed, and the areas around would be coagulated sediment. I think i'll go for this in the next version, making middle areas less bloody, and side areas more bloody. Just need to figure out a proper cycles program for that, because merely altitude will likely be insufficient.[/color]
