Would servers have planets in a solar system or something different. Like would they have random type of worlds? like gas, jungle, ice, desert, but in order in range of tempeture and distance from the sun? Also would there be moons and sometimes you wouldn`t get ice worlds sometimes all random yet using logic?
Re: Solar Server Systems
*Planetary system
And yes. Each server will be responsible for one system. The system will have one spawn-planet (where everyone first spawns) and a random amount of other large bodies (probably about four, excluding satellites). There'll be rocky planets, gas planets, ice planets, fried planets, boiled planets, planet cocktail, planet gumbo, pineapple planets, lemon planets, stew planets, sandwich planets... That's. That's about it.

No carbon worlds?

Re: Solar Server Systems
It would be nice to see some realistic distribution of biomes, since our planets are finite and we can do that.

Re: Solar Server Systems
Carbon worlds would be boss like in Avatar and wear gas masks, or a VERY high oxygen pressure
Re: Solar Server Systems
Carbon world? You mean like giant diamonz and graphite forests? That would be interesting.
What about the graphics of gas giants? We could have semitransparent air blocks, like I suggested in my gas mining idea, or we could just have colored fog.
I like the idea of realistic biome distribution, along with more realistic biomes.

omg yes, suck out the atmosphere, *kills everything* plants tree like a boss, and you should be able to make planets breathable by a slow costly process like in alienscatsonmeth wrote:Carbon world? You mean like giant diamonz and graphite forests? That would be interesting.

Re: Solar Server Systems
I'm going to go ahead and nip this idea in the bud. No planet-wide climate change. Most of the planet isn't resident in memory, and it is too hard to calculate.

Re: Solar Server Systems
But at the caps it would be cold, also will there be jungle moons and stuff like that?fr0stbyte124 wrote:"Change" is the operative word here.

Re: Solar Server Systems
The climate can vary by region. You just won't be able to terraform the atmosphere to something else.
Single biome planets would not be difficult.

Frost is being reasonable. Don't try to convince him otherwise.
