| I just want to say that I am planning to revive this old challenge once the new version (0.97) comes out. However this poll-type thread was a failure and the expiry date is lol . So I am kindly asking for the asistance of the mods to delete this thread or render it dormant and move it to the archive section. In the meantime, Harbinger's challenges would keep us all happy and with something to do until 0.97 comes out  .
The new challenge will be much more intresting because the new version will include an exciting new feature: the ESI (Earth Similarity Index) and it will be much easier to quantify and measure the results .
What do you guys think?

Great idea. I was about to say exactly the same thing.
P.S. : Since the creation of this thread, I havn't understand the goal of the poll at the beginning.
Want some music of mine ? Please go here !

| This is actually a moon, but it has the highest ESI i've found so far as well as the most striking superficial resemblance to Earth 1 billion years ago. However, it has no life, and has significantly less water than the Earth. Its ESI fluctuates between about 0.94 and 0.98.
Shown here is the moon's hemisphere facing the planet. Oddly enough, although the moon is tidally locked, it is this hemisphere that displays the most variation in elevation. Perhaps the moon's large core powers tectonic activity that does away with craters and creates these venus-like structures, as well as preserving the planet's atmosphere.
This is the moon's hemisphere facing away from the planet. This hemisphere's bodies of liquid resemble those on Titan, though these are almost certainly water instead of hydrocarbons.
It is the outermost moon of a class II gas giant of roughly 1.4 Jupiter masses, and orbits on an extremely inclined plane (~100 degrees). This means that its daylit side rotates around the planet on a plane nearly perpendicular to its rotational plane, and its days on certain constantly moving points are created almost entirely by the orbit of the planet. This allows the moon's axial tilt relative to the parent star to rotate between about -80 and 80 degrees, creating erratic daylight cycles that are nearly identical but phase shifted from any location on the moon. Because the moon's orbital period and the planet's orbital period differ by a factor of almost exactly 6 (~54-~324 earth days, closer to 6.012), these day lengths depend on the moon's orbit number (6 in each of the planet's orbits) as well as a longer 12 earth year cycle. This makes day lengths extremely difficult to casually predict for any point on the planet.
The moon's semimajor axis of just over 3% that of the planet, and the planet has an orbital eccentricity of about 0.05, so temperature fluctuations due to the moon's changing distance from the parent star are neither negligible nor regular. At certain times, the moon orbits in a plane normal to the line joining the planet and the star, so orbital fluctuations are negligible. At others the moon's orbit is coplanar to the line joining the planet and the star, so orbital fluctuations reach several degrees kelvin. Overall, the moon's distance to the star varies between about 0.8351 AU and 1.006 AU, with average global temperatures between 274 K and 300 K. This means the moon's ESI fluctuates between about 0.94 and 0.98.
The moon system of this giant is more compact further in, so all of the other moons appear as very bright starlike points from this outermost moon. The gas giant almost never transits the sun as seen from the moon, and the moon almost never casts a shadow on the gas giant, due to the moon's extremely high inclination.
The Moon is RS 8404-3584-7-8-400 3.7

| Gondor2222, LostInSpace this thread is outdated. Please wait for the new challenge. It will start when SE 0.9.7.1 comes out
SE 0.9.7.0 doesn't have planets with life on single star systems.
To the mods: Please move this thread to archive. Thank you.

We could keep it until 0.9.7.1, someone could find a nice terra with life under a nice multiple system

| Salvo, could you be able to do procedural generation to other planets?
EDIT: There is a bit of a problem with the height for procedural earths land.
[b]I was wrong, this forum still has a horrible community.[/b]
