Yes, there will be 2 small planets outside Nero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rings around Gael be realistic and/or feasible? It would look epic though Yes please. 36 minutes ago, OhioBob said: @Galileo, it just occurred to me that I haven't seen any rings. Are you planning to have a ring system around any of your gas giants? Something else I haven't seen much of is ice caps. We don't yet know what the surface conditions of these planets will be, but if it's determined that they would likely have ice caps, is that something that can be added? You just gave me a fabulous idea for a second planet. That aside, I'm hoping one of these giants has multiple or inclined rings. If feasible, a moon could sit in the gap? It'll likely be a small one, having lasted long but still bound to lose the fight against its parent's tides.

Galileo Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) If you wanna know something crazy, ill be done with the planets by tonight. then its up to @OhioBob All i have left is moons.

Galileo Posted September 4, 2016 Author Share Posted September 4, 2016 Well i got a bit ahead of my self and just realized biome maps still need to be done.... booooooooo and i hate making them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poodmund Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I had a bit of discussion in that page and the page after showing a quick way to generate biome maps based on altitude using a greyscale heightmap. Once the heightmap biome map has been made, then you can go in and add some additional areas worthy of note. Its quick and clean but you can get good results for a base to work from.

It will take me at least a few days to do my part, so don't expect an quick turn around. If I were just throwing together an atmospheric model based on somebody else's given parameters, it would go pretty quick. But deciding what I want to do here will require some study and contemplation. Plus if we change anything, I have to redo the atmosphere (they are dependent on the physical characteristics of the planet). 51 minutes ago, Galileo said: Well i got a bit ahead of my self and just realized biome maps still need to be done.... booooooooo and i hate making them You can give me the cfgs without the biomes, right? I'd like to get started with my part without having to wait on the biomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadriss Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 This... is becoming a thing almost faster than Jeb built his first rocket. Fortunately, it looks like this will end better. Also, Ciro is confirmed, apparently, bases on your comments for Niven. Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a far better answer than what I managed to come up with. Catullus is intriguing. Are those white spots sporadic frozen regions? And is this one of the planets behind Nero?

Shadriss Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 He hasn't answered that question... not even once. I think he made a vague reference to demonic intervention and the blood of the innocent, but that may have been Jeb's Pre-Launch routine he was talking about as well. Lovin' the looks, Gal - this should be interesting when finished. Any chance of custom experiment reports for the new biomes, or do you plan to recycle the canned ones?

Galileo Posted September 5, 2016 Author Share Posted September 5, 2016 I am now handing the work over to @OhioBob I still have some little things texture wise to fix like seams but the majority of it is done. while OhioBob works on the sciencey stuff, i will be trying to get scatterer and SVE configs ready. ill also try to throw some rings in there.
