Default Re: Would you want new planet types and atmospheres?

I know it's hardcoded... but I don't think it would be that difficult to change, instead of it pulling the atmospheres from hardcoded variables, it could pull them from a txt file... I don't know the actual code MM is using, but from my programming experience, I can't see why it would be that difficult to implement.

Hehe. That "plentiful ore" is fool's gold

The pirates hid all the real minerals in the asteroids.

I like em all. And the racial trait of "Any" atmosphere would be cool but probably unbalancing because whoever had that could have maximum amount of space for facilities on EVERY planet. With that you wouldn't need any other traits.

What about energy-beings who can colonize stars?

What about different hydrospheres (and geospheres for burrowing races)? A world is not just an atmosphere. (Well maybe a gas giant is, sort of)

Well, "hydospheres" could be added to the list of planet types... "Liquid or Water Planets", Geospheres.... well either they burrow in rock or ice?

As for stars, that would be cool, BUT it would require major changes to the Hardcode (where I'm hoping these will only require minor changes), since stars have no resources or conditions assigned to them.

Rock, Ice, Liquid, Gas.

Not much else that applies to planets.

also want: Inferno (or LAVA), and Brown Dwarves (y'know the HUGE gas giant that have recently been spotted... thought is that they're failed stars)
