| Quote Alabeo (  ) Vladimir, SpaceEngine seems to have weird "fetish" for me to spawn Tidally locked Terras whenever I search for Temperate Terras... Can you fix that? It's getting old to see just tidaly locked Terras all the time now x_x I've followed your planet creation guide to search for earth-like planets but Space Engine generates massive amounts of Tidally locked Terras.
The fact that you come across them most frequently is not an error in the software at all since Space Engine is designed to be scientifically accurate.
Your encounters are due to the scientific fact that tidally locked temperate terras are more likely than non-tidally locked ones. The reason is because the most common stars are M-dwarfs and these stars have a 48% chance of having a terrestrial sized planet in the habitable zone.
So roughly half of these stars should have such planets compared to around 22% for higher mass stars like our Sun.. And because M-dwarfs make up the vast majority of stars in our and other galaxies (around 80%) you're more likely to come across such planets if you explore in a random fashion.
If you want to find temperate terras which are not tidally locked, pick planetary systems around higher mass stars than M-dwarf or late K-dwarfs to explore.

| Jadestar, you forgot to say waht planets in a habitable zone around M dwarfs are usually tidal locked due to enormous tides from the parent sun (because planets are very close to the dwarfs).

Oops! I am so sorry! I totally forgot to add that. I forgot to explain that lower mass stars were cooler so a planet has to orbit much closer to the star to be a temperate terra.
Here is a good chart which has the mass of the star on the right (fractions of solar masses, 1.0 = identical mass to our Sun) and the semi-major axis on the bottom which shows where planets should enter synchronous rotation to become tidally locked for stars of different masses and the circumstellar habitable zone is overlayed on it:

| Interestingly enough, that very article seems to suggest that the number of tidally locked planets in Space Engine may be too high.
They let me use this!

| Also, red dwarfs flare like a greasy stovetop. Most worlds would most likely have been cooked clean during that phase. Tidal locked earths should definately be less likely to have life.
Careful. The PLATT Collective has spurs.

| Young red dwarfs have a lot of flares, yes. But with age their activity decreases. Life could originate and survive in the depth of the ocean, and when sun becomes more quiet, conquer the land.

Worlds like Reach should be pretty easy to mod in since Reach is basically a more arid terra if I recall.
However megastructure worlds like the ring worlds, the ark or shield worlds (the last one /might/ be doable using a palette, but not sure which world type is best to make a artifical looking planet), however I doubt support for megastructures will be added in this version since this version's been more oriented for minor changes, bug fixes and minor GUI additions.
I personally hope for the implementation of the ingame wiki editor this version for instance. But it has yet to be seen if that is a possibility for this version and that I think would be a minor addition in comparison to the addition of dynamic seasonal change or meteor showers. So far, the most important addition this version has added so far has been the implementation of sand dunes and strata, of which really do enhance the designs of worlds.
I hope the palettes aren't affected by the addition of strata since so many cool palettes would be made obsolete.

What of living underground?

I think no, because
Quote SpaceEngineer as long as SE is a scientifically accurate Universe simulator, then one day it will implement ALL space objects and phenomenon that are known to modern astronomy
and halo don't seems to be part of a scientifically accurate Universe.
But you can make them as an addon!! 
You create the stars of the different systems with this tutorial: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/17-2820-1
And you create the planets with this tutorial: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/17-2789-1
If you want to create maps based on halo to make your planets more awesome you can creat the surface texture following this tutorial: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/17-376-1
Good luck!! In this forum there are addons for Interestellar, Star Wars, Avatar and Star Trek planets. I think no one has done the halo universe. Many in this forum would appreciate that

You need to use an appropriate keyboard layout (I use US-International).

| SpaceEngineer, I get the impression that progress is proceeding rapidly on the next version. What's contributing to this? Did you do refactoring, or lay a lot of ground work to help speed development?

| Latest updates:
Window resolution could be set in the Display settings menu to the maximum resolution supported by hardware (ie it makes possible to take screenshots larger than screen)
Restored old video capture mode as a set of screenshots
Video capture files (avi or screenshots) are saving in the screenshots/capture/ folder
Menu for video capture settings: switch between set of screenshots mode and avi mode, choosing screenshots format and codec settings
The F9 key brings up the Video capture menu, Ctrl-F9 starts and stops the video recording with the choosen setting
The engine automatically searches the lower free number for the file name by scanning the folder screenshots/capture/. I.e. if the folder have the files vid00000.avi and vid00001.avi, the next recorded video file will be vid00002.avi. Just like saving of the regular screenshots.
Should I make a similar screenshots settings menu? It will have only image format selector and a checkbox for the GUI.
