Jokes aside how are the planets generated anyway?

Does the team have a collection of terrain, animals etc etc etc that is applied to planets randomly as they are formed?

Like for example: sand, rock, forest etc etc etc and some random process applies these to each planet as its formed or something?

Yes, everything is generated randomly but there are certain conditions that define how it generates that random planet. Whether or acidity decide on which plants can grow there OR which animals inhabit the planet for instance. Soil quality decides what plants or trees is another example. Each animal is then generated in module form with different animal parts such as legs, necks, heads (and what is on the head), markings, skin etc. It's truly fantastic ... if disappointingly short.

oh ok thats very cool how they combine different parameters to get these results; thanks for the info
