Snippet #9: Yet another snippet on procedural planets

I am actually working on organisations, characters and economy at the moment, but it is a complex design task and hard to show a snippet yet. So this weeks snippet is indeed yet once more some info on procedural creation of a planet. This snippet is showing that the planet generation is based on scientific key data like the spectral class of its sun, its distance and its tilt. The tilt of the planet and the eccentricity of its orbit determine if there are seasons and how extreme they are. The spectral class and distance determine if its going to be a cold or a warm climate planet (on average). The speed of the orbit will determine the number of seasons. Some planets will have no seasons, some will just have 2, others might have 7.

Snippet #8: Another snippet on procedural planets

And another snippet :) Procedural planet generation consists of several rolls like Planetology, Biosphere and as shown above here: Geology. Lots of land, low windspeeds, little rainfall, this planet is going to have big deserts.

After seven snippets, time for the first snap question. I am planning to ask some questions like this now and then. I do not promise to follow majority vote but will take note of preferences and comments. So help my intelligence department a bit and don’t hesitate and make your vote!

Snippet #7: Alien atmospheres

What do you know? We have reached snippet #7. This one showing that each planet has a unique atmosphere. The planet we see here (Aselir Secundus) has alien life, but the type is not compatible with earth life. With no oxygen in the atmosphere all humans will have to wear breathing apparatus and live and work in sealed locations.
