    I use Hetzner exclusively and have just one complaint. You don't get much choice as to where your VPS is hosted country-wise nor the OS it runs. You do get the standard list of options, as you would with any other provider, except that list is quite small on Hetzner. It's good enough, I use Fedora everywhere and they support that so I'm good. Anyway, it's obviously free to create an account so there's no risk in case your setup isn't supported.

    Apart from that, they're brilliant. The web console is nice, clean and well-designed, great value (1TB of storage clocks in at a few euros/month), room to scale and a decent company. Can't comment on customer support since I've never needed it.

    For the services you've specified, that'll run you maybe 3 - 4 euros a month (that's with automatic backups of your entire server + tax) since you can run all of that under one server.

    Grammar checking my properly written-up Wiki entries from notes of my Obsidian vault. Or finding names and acronyms, but I prefer to do that myself if possible.

    To get a scale like that, I would just leave it up to extrapolation of the fundamental traits of your world. If my world was scorched, but I only write about a couple cities, you can imagine everything inbetween is a fiery hellscape too.

    It's your universe, not AI's nor a professional's. Try to do as much as you can by yourself, if the world your building fits with you as a person, this should be easier than it sounds.

    P.S - Proc-gen is not necesserily AI, but an algorithm. A set of rules to follow with given aguments for variation. This is why games such as No Man's Sky, that heavily use proc-gen, end up with repeating landscapes or planets. The algorithm was given similar arguments. AI is far more complex however, closer to how a biological brain determines something.
