I assume it is planned to include the Late Heavy Bombardment into the game?

Maybe not all systems will have to go through that but I presume this event could usually precede the global glaciation event?

Using the new planet generation settings, will it be possible to create a world that starts out without any Ice-shelf biomes, like how Earth didn’t have Ice caps initially ~4.6 BYA?

Not sure these settings allow you to alter the climate itself in such a manner…

Players might be able to alter the initial climate[1], based on the screenshot by Deus for the Basic Planet Customizer.

I see the day enablement setting could end up turning into a β€œdo you want to live on an eyeball planet” toggle…

The developers said that it would be very difficult to implement the replacement of areas with other areas (for example, the replacement of glaciers with an epipelagic patch as a result of warming), which is why we can’t expect such functions in the near future.

I think they could become easier to implement once the planet generator is in the game.

Has it ever been stated how long the day-night cycle corresponds to real time? Like the default 180 seconds day-night setting is like 24 hours?

It corresponds to the rotation period of your home planet that you’re playing on. How are the seconds converted to hours has not been explained to my knowledge.

Are there any plans to re-add the Ogre from v0.0.5 as an easter egg?

It’s so obscure even amongst the Thrive playerbase I don’t see why the developers would go through the effort to add it just for the few who even recall it…

There’s never been any plan to add any Easter Eggs whatsoever, all of the current Easter Eggs have been added because a random developer has thought that it would be neat to add and then they worked on it.

To be fair EE did acknowledge our existence in their splash screens some time ago already so it could be of use to re-acknowledge their existence from our side at some point.

Hypothetically, if someone had a very long, heavily formatted, Word 2010 document, and rather than spend weeks reformatting it to be a septuple Thrive post, they wanted to post it somewhere else and post a link to it, any recommendations as to where to post it?

Google Drive maybe, it is the thing usually used

There have also been some other file-hosting sites thrown around recently but they all seem to be more for images than text file formats.
