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.

Preorder canceled.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

How were they going to create an infinite universe with finite hampered hardware like HDD's? :/



Thanks jlmurph!

You just made my day!



Be a hell of a Platinum Trophy to get "Found all Worlds".

Curious about this exploration in this game.
