You design life and a system

to be fair, you likely wouldn’t survive there due to the methane and CO2 levels or the O2 levels alone, so likely means the planets own habaility due to it being the interior where it’s likely dry

I wonder if primitive life could thrive there…

There’s a video about a methane dominated planet where it’s possible to make methane breathing life.

Wait, wouldn’t methane and oxygen create a very flammable atmosphere?

Yeah speculation on methane life is a large one, though irl methanogensis does exist and they’re completely anoxic and actually harmed by oxygen, like it stops them working and all

So this would need to be a hybrid life in this realm for it to work…

Probably or the entire oxygen gets turned into co2 and h2o, which is unlikely before the methane runs out

I presume as time goes on the world will accumulate more water?

Uh yeah, that and carbon dioxide

So eventually it might just turn into a venus. A small one for that, but still…

Or something similar to it yeah

We’ll see how the system evolved when it’s complete. Perhaps not all planets will survive until the development of a civ…

Yeah, I do wonder what kind of life could evolve here in this system, as it seem more tame than the other forum game solar system, of course not accounting for the fact this system is two dwarfs and one is a angry red dwarf

Maybe the flares won’t be as much of a problem in this sort of a binary…

Given only one is a red dwarf yeah, cause the planets can survive a bit farther out than the goldilock zone for the red dwarf + combined they do emit more light for them, so more space for a goldilock zone as there’s two suns

I suppose the two formed from the same gas cloud…

Yeah most likely, though one clearly got more fuel than the other

I wonder if they will collide at some point into the future…

Only if something were to disturb the two suns orbits, or if not already on a crash course billions of years later, but that would mean also the system just dies in the super nova crash

Could a gentle collision be achieved somehow?
