If you look at the pre-order page, the 4-pack option is on the bottom right of each level. It is a button that says "Buy 4-pack."

Yeah, I don't know why I couldn't see it. Nor yesterday, either. I think I've been playing so many ASCII games lately that my retinas have filtered out pixel letters into mere symbolic representations of animals.

It is?  I only see it at the bottom of the first two levels (Pixel and Silver).  All I see for Gold on up is the "Buy Now" button.  Ah, well.  I already bought my preorder, in any case, though I probably should have waited given my ambivalence on it.  Well, it's not a bad thing to support people chasing their dreams, I think.

Is the 4-pack deal even still going on? I don't see anything about it on the preorder page. (Nevermind, I'm blind. It's right there.)

My friend is also interested, so I'm ready to pitch in 2x with two other Bayers if anyone's up for that.
What tier? I'm interested, and a friend of mine might be too.

Pixel tier. And I don't mind who handles the purchase, I'm happy to send the funds to you (I'd actually kinda prefer it, I know I can trust you).

Wait. 1608 people bought the add a name to NPC name generation list tier? Aww man I hope I don't get a NPC named XxXDarkRoseSePhIrOtHXxX or something stupid like that. That would make me briefly consider kicking a puppy. Or murdering the NPC.

You can bet your sweet toenails that if I bought that, I'd submit the name Baron Von Cantaloupe. Or Johnny McGooGoo. Or Stooble Habblemeister. Or...you get the point. I like silly names.

Sadly you will have to potentially endure one named Hemmingjay.

It was tempting, but no Sambojin for now. Not yet anyway. Maybe when we play with lua on a B12 server.

So about this procedural generation and "no two planets should be the same". What has been revealed abut what that will actually mean in practice and how unique flora and fauna and such will actually be?

I imagine visually there will be a lot of variation, but functionally probably a lot less so.

Yeah, there's only so much distinct functional variation you can have in a game like this, but I imagine the content diversity will be making up for it. I.e. there's going to be lots of fluff and flavor, along with minor functional differences. Though I think that it's best to go into this game with as low expectations as possible. Don't set yourself on expecting a giant living universe existing for you to explore, and you'll probably be pleasantly surprised by what the game actually has to offer - or at least won't be nearly as severely disappointed.
