Crazy Suggestion: alien life in the lava


I'm sure you could find some young world with exotic life and lava, then you can just pretend it lives in it.

At last, the foundations have been laid for the spread of Juffo-Wup.

Great job with the lava, SpaceEngineer. smile





Careful. The PLATT Collective has spurs.

What kind of planets would they be classified as? Deserts?
Or is it a new kind of class? (like those that are right next to red giants with over 2000K+ temperatures)

I think it could be good to have the term "protoplanet" for very young systems with lava planets. And it could be nice to have a lot of protoplanets around protostars (around 50).

And clusters of protostars and/or young stars inside nebulae.

I completely agree with the protostar idea. Young open clusters should spawn inside diffuse nebulae and they should contain 'true' protostars, T Tauri's and Herbig Ae/Be stars which would usually have protoplanetary discs around them, usually with actual protoplanets. These clusters should also rarely contain Wolf-Rayets or LBV's.

I will not make any mini updates or mini patches. This is simply impossible, because I have to combine new code with old one.

Trying to make lava flows:













Ice and flame smile



Also added some albedo variations to make uniformly colored planets more interesting:

The first two pictures are really well done. I like the lava flows in it.
The rest of them, I don't really like the way the lava flow changes the terrain (except the fire on ice one, this one look good). I don't exactly know why, but something is telling me that it is fake.
The albedo difference tho is a very good addition.

What is the generation cost of the lava flow? I assume it would have a big impact on it, right?

Great job as usual. These kinds of SE updates always make my day.

In the first pic the planet seems to be quite volcanically active. Maybe highly active worlds should have a denser atmosphere?

Also, how big of an effect would the lava in the seventh picture have on the surface of the planet in real life?

The albedo features are very nice too.

Great!

The level of activity displayed there is no greater than on Io, which does not have any significant atmosphere. It would take volcanism on a far greater scale to beef up an atmosphere.

I'm pretty sure he knows that. This is just WIP experiments after all. He did say "trying to make lava flows", not "made lava flows".

Great images !

I think, lava flows should make a bump on the ground, not a hole (a little bit like ice caps), except on ice, where it melts.

Edit : Oh no, the two cases exists :
