  1. If we had a habitable planet that was in orbit around, say a Red Dwarf and was tidally locked, wouldn't there be a large amount of wind in the temperate zone or at least very violent storms there due to the amount of air trying to get from the high pressure areas to the low pressure areas, and wouldn't this be exacerbated by the slow rotation periods of said planets? Even if the temperature on both sides were equivalent, then you wouldn't get the deserts on one side and glaciers on the other.

  2. After days of work, I've finally arrived at a texture I'm willing to use as a height map.

    It took a lot of experimentation to get right, but it's better than a blank grey scale version of the texture map above but with some basic noise, right?

    Now, I need to do it's .cfg file now, I should have results soon.

    Spoiler

    Also, something based on Retuo might be getting it's own mod...

    The Duna window's soon, but I can't think of how to send a manned mission.

    I think you should probably design an apollo style mission, but FOR DUNA! I've used it a few times and it works pretty well.

    Alternatively, you could build a spacecraft in orbit, it's a little more realistic, if you're willing to deal with wobbly rockets.

    Finally you could do it in a single launch, but that's only for more advanced players.

    I've done it with a single launch.

     

  4. Presenting Zep's color map!

    Design Notes: I was thinking Evap and Zep are two sides of the same coin, both were once large puffy icy moons with a large core of iron at the center. But for whatever reason, while Evap completly melted and gained a thick atmosphere, for whatever reason, Zep was never as far gone, only losing some of it's mass and having a comparatively thin atmosphere, still pretty thick compared to Duna, twice it's atmospheric pressure, but most of it's surface is still intact for whatever reason. In addition, it will have a small submoon, Zip, to add to the intrigue of Retuo's largest moon.
