This script I did not mean. I thought that you might have made your own script, with these clouds.
What Proxima b concerns: Of course, the clouds do not look everywhere equally good or interesting. And the appearance of clouds also depends on the lighting, so for example from the day time.

Why can't real exoplanets be generated with procedural moons?
SpaceEngine produces generally only procedural objects (stars, planets, moons) for 'Stars' or 'StarBarycenter' which have no catalog objects.
If you, for example, for Teegarden's Star also want that system, that was previously generated procedurally by SE, you need to export it and adapt as a custom system, such sinsforeal and DoctorOfSpace have done it for the Proxima system.

Are fictional satellites allowed for the known exoplanets?
I do not understand your question. Do you think that there is a law that prohibits this?

I think this is an example of what happens when in SE the boundary of the procedural imaginary world is suddenly reached and something fictional becomes existing "by catalog". We rely then on data we have, we make an educated guess about what we don't. The amount of boldness (or wild imagination) we may apply in those cases could also have some written or non written rules, at the end I think it all lies on the sensibility and goals of people working at the program. SpaceEngineer surely made similar choices by deciding what data makes sense to use and what not at a certain point of development.

I went ahead and combined Jackdole's and sinsforeal, DoctorOfSpace's addons while adding a few of my own objects as well. I stated that I edited the files.
Proxima H (Wouldn't be discovered until a later date due to it's small size) Proxma G (A large Pluto like object orbiting far out from Proxima)

My English has to be even worse than I thought. I have no idea what you mean.
Virtually everything we do with SpaceEngine, is fiction!. Maybe 'Science Fiction'. fiction with a certain scientific basis.
If we add, for example, a newly discovered exoplanets to SpaceEngine, are from what we see then in SpaceEngine, 99% fiction (estimated). Fiction that is generated by SpaceEngine. By procedural generation of what we do not know.
And although we do not know this, but almost all of these exoplanets we have discovered so far, will also have moons.
So there is nothing wrong, if there was a script command so that SpaceEngine could generate procedural moons for exoplanets.
And nothing speaks against it, that someone adds manually moons. My opinion.
What do you mean exactly? A planet that orbits a star in a binary system? A planet that orbits a binary star system as a whole (circumbinary)? Or two planets orbiting a common center of mass that is not inside any of both?
It you are talking about the latest, No. No double planet has been found (but Earth-Moon system and Pluto-Charon are candidates for binary planetary mass objects with some criterias).
You would like to read this article about binary terrestrial planets. So they are totally possible and SpaceEngine is filled with this. I have found many binary gas giants in the past.
But, as you can see here, there are 5 candidates for exomoons. One in particular has the closest mass ratio of the moon with respect to the planet to one, it is WASP-12, and its candidate exomoon can have 67 times less mass than the planet itself (in comparison, the Moon is 81 times less massive than Earth, so this is MAYBE the most double-planet-like thing we have observed yet).

Wasp-12b? But that planet orbits so close to it's star it probably doesn't have any moons. If it has a moon it is SURPRISING, maybe add it to SE if possible? In fact before I installed the Teegarden's star addon there was a binary gas giant in it's system, I'm talking about binary catalog exoplanets if they exist (In real life, not SE)
And nothing speaks against it, that someone adds manually moons. My opinion.
Good to know, thank you.

oh my god, I don't know I'm not pretty good for making those clouds. And for those code that reveal there are 3 cloud's layer O_O
OGLE-2007-BLG-349(AB )b or OGLE-2007-BLG-349(AB )c (arXiver)
(Wikipedia: The paper incorrectly refers to the planet as planet "c", however, this is probably just an error and should not be confused with the "B" star. Alternatively it can be used to differ from the secondary star.)
