Earthlikes are spawn planets that all players start out on. They are similar to Earth in their appearance and are always habitable.
Features
- Earthlike planets have mostly flat terrain with interspersed hills and valleys. Mountains are common, and come both grouped and isolated.
- Terrain is grouped into continents, which are surrounded by sandy shores. Mildly inclined slopes lead to these from the mainland. Cliffs are possible, but rare.
- They lack the ability to generate all of the standard resources. They only generate with Coal, Iron, and Copper nodes. These are moderately abundant on their surface.
- Earthlikes generate with several biomes. This mostly just determines the material that part of their surface is made of, and the availability of vegetation. Vegetation is spread throughout, and is always green grass and tall, thick trees.
- Earthlike have the possibility of becoming a starter planet. That is, players may be able to freely spawn on them using the menu.
Colonization
Players colonize earthlike planets when they start playing the game. While later colonization is possible, it doesn't provide much value due to their limited resources.
