You design life and a system

What should we make the planet with life like?

We should have multiple planets with life to make things more interesting.

As in, just how many homeworlds?

At least two. But it depends on what other people decide.

We shouldn’t make too many…

solar winds when strong/big magnets:


anyways, what if one of the planets had a moon with an extremely strong magnetic field?
y’know, for funsies

The flares on M-dwarfes are apparently many and strong.

They are extremely angry suns

Ironically they also are the ones to live the longest…

Yeah, I forget why but there’s science behind it for why they’re so aggresive, I think personally it just you’re needing to be so much closer that the odd solar flare they spit out in a normal sun to reach planets are much more common

Also apparently orange dwarfs can emit x-rays in their early years or something which has a good chance of sterilizing all life off their planets.

I wonder if a planet around a K star had such a slow rotation speed that it appears to be tidally locked, but it actually isn’t. Life could theoretically survive on the other half of the planet that was not hit by x-rays, as well as in deep caves.

The thing is, the bombardment could last for a very long time. Longer than caves stay habitable or the other side stays in shade…

Imagine what kind of crazy repair mechanisms such life would evolve if it lasted long enough.

It would need to survive past it’s early, pitiful years first before that can happen…

What is 1O (one-oh) supposed to mean?

1 Like

1O means a pretty dry but not totally dry planet, having some lakes, making them oases in a dry, sometimes wet enough gto support grasses or even bushes. The life part is optional. (Why is only 1 player (AnthropoceianAge) voted for the 1st planet)
