There will always be a randomized selection of ores to mine, located in boulders. What is randomized is what can be found on the planet's surface. If the planet is bigger, its model is stretched to accommodate. Although each type of planet is different, each one of the same type, such as a Mars-like planet, will have the same surface layout. Despite being immovable, each planet is still wholly destructible.Īlthough it might seem like it, the planets are not procedurally generated.

For example, two planets spawning incredibly close to one another will not converge. It remains static, in place, and will not be drawn in by gravitational pulls of other assets in the game. But, some things will always be the same no matter what planet you venture onto.Įach planet, much like asteroids and moons in the game, will not move along its orbit in the Solar System. For the most part, each planet is different, from its atmosphere and gravitational pull to its size (often around 19km to 120km in diameter).
