El wonso Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 I don't know if anyone suggested that before, but I would really like to see planets (and maybe moons) having axial tilt like in real life. Don't you think, that landing at planet with tilt of ~90 degrees (like Uranus) would be cool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBender Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Weird polar terrain in the bright sunlight would be very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex_NL Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It's been suggested only a few dozen times yet. I am surprised that someone who's been around for a year did not know that.Still, it would make things more interesting and realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El wonso Posted August 10, 2013 Author Share Posted August 10, 2013 I am not reading Suggestions and Development Discussion very often and I didn't see that on 'already suggested' list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeman Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 It's definitely been suggested before, though probably not as many times as tex seems to claim >_>Either way, it's a good suggestion and since there's a new list of noteworthy suggestions not on the do-not-suggest list, I see no harm in suggesting it again.

vexx32 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 It's been suggested more times than he claims, trust me. Every few weeks, for the last... well, forever, really.My question would be, assuming that it is not overly difficult, why hasn't it been done already? We've got how many planets now, and not one has a tilt? It strikes me as rather odd, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astropapi1 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 IIRC, the current system used for planets doesn't allow this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It strikes me as rather odd, to be honest.To my knowledge the reason why planets aren't tilted is quite simple: Unity does not support tilted planets.

sopwerdna Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Unity does not support tilted planets.Please tell me you're joking... Planets and orbital dynamics are not implemented by Unity, they're implemented by Squad. Besides, if any game engine did not support tilting objects in the game, it wouldn't be usable.

lajoswinkler Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Imagine planetary objects with extremely low rotational periods. That would be very interesting. Very reduced gravity on equator (or even zero, why not?), complications with landing, very low geostationary orbit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UbioZur Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Adding new planets (tilted or not) is part of the what not to suggest list under universeAlso there is plenty of link of discussion and suggestion of new planets in the already suggested list (under universe)Please read the sticky and search the forum.
