Possible types of planets for life in thrive

[domin2ktr]

Here we discuss the types of unusual planets that could thrive for the start and development of life.

Are planets with tidal locking to a star acceptable for the development of life and civlization?

Would Icy Planets also be a place for life, especially those with Geologic activity underneath the ice?

We could also need to consider “extreme season” planets (like uranus for example).

For icy planets I don’t think they could become industrial at least.

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

Would habitable-sized planets with “extreme seasons” from axial tilts include Mega-Plutos, which can reach the triple point of nitrogen (or other liquids), and have rivers and lakes on the surface every 1.4 million years or so?

So would the liquid only form once every that timeperiod and then freeze over again?

Thrive in its current planetary editor doesn’t really allow for planets with extreme or strange biomes/temperatures. The strangest planet I got was the shallow-marsh world who’s deepest point in water was 100m…

The planet generator is yet to be implemented and I think it would make there be considerably more diversity in types of worlds a player can create.

Can you give the seed of that world?

@domin2ktr

Can you give the seed of that world?

Here you go

World Size and Seed Collection Thread

@Animalia created a world with a shallow ocean surrounded by land. I wonder if there are similar World Seeds and Planet Customization Conditions that makes this kind of world with a Banana Biome?

Kind of a hot planet, the average surface temperature was like 22*C? I think it’ll look even stranger when land patches and other customization stuff is added.

I don’t think such planets will be very common later into the development since plate tectonics should forbide their existence.

[Animalia (Matti)]

I mean, it was pretty much just a reverse eyeball planet. I think it could exist.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Are you implying eyeball planets are usually cold?

[Animalia (Matti)]

Eyeball planets usually form on tidally locked worlds where the night side is too cold for life and the day side has a liquid ocean. The reverse could theoretically happen where the day side is too hot for life and the liquid ocean is on the night side.

However there’s an issue, within the thrive seed you aren’t really on a permanent night so…

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I think those two are just subtypes of eyeball planet category…

[Animalia (Matti)]

yeah but we haven’t yet observed the second

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Probably because those would be very close to their stars making them harder to see against their light.

[Animalia (Matti)]

That being said, do we know if we’ll be able to edit the star and other planets in the system our planet is in?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

The star most likely, other plants very unsure, this will probably only be figured out when they actually get relevant in the space stage.

[Animalia (Matti)]

At that point I’d feel it be more like a star system editor (which sounds pretty cool). Although I agree it would probably only be relevant once the space stage comes in.

Since it’s so late into the game I could see the developers making other planets random instead
