    Everybody loves variety! but how do we perfect it? here's my ideas!

    First things first: more biomes!

    Gentle Stars:

    Mountainous: like alpine, except world-wide, and with mountains that stretch into space!

    Grasslands: Like that removed biome, er something. It would be mainly flat, with wheat fields and large ponds.

    Floating Islands: Extremely rare: Islands that float! in the sky! would be mainly forest-like.

    Radio Stars:

    Fungal: Entirely mushrooms! And all across the surface! In different colors!

    Fallout: a destroyed city with radiated plants and cool treasures!

    Toxic Floating Islands: Also quite rare: All the floating Islands have Mutated Jungles, and toxic ponds.

    Fiery Stars:

    Sulphuric: Heavily Inspired by Frackin Universe, it consists of the same principle: Sulphury planets, like Io

    Sulphuric Ocean: Oceans, 'cept Sulphur.

    Flamin Floating Island: Lava Floating Islands with Volcanoes!

    Frozen Stars:

    Frozen Forest: A christmasey forest of wonder!

    Frozen Desert: Like that desert in Asia, where it snows sometimes? Freaky..

    Frozen Islands: Keeping with the tradition, of course.

    Moons: City Moons: Completely Urbanized Moons. Found more often around Gas Giants. if around a rocky planet, a really cool techy base will be on the surface.


    New star type: Pulsar
    Lifeless: An unbearable planet being bombarded by insane amounts of radiation. All stone. Sky constantly flashes.

    Crystal: planet with large amounts of crystals on it's surface.



    Rogue Planets:
    (Dark planets go here)

    Freeze-Dried: a once-lovely planet, now frozen over, with remnants of ancient cities scattered about.




    so, those are the new planet types. now, how do we REALLY improve variety?

    -Vegetation: LARGE variations in vegetation!

    -Background Variety: Lots of background variety! for every planet type, ten possible backgrounds!

    -Sky Color: most, if not all planet types will have either Blue, Green, or Orange sky, chosen at random.

    -Luminescent planets: one out of three planets will be painted in bizarre colors.

    -Planet Views on the screeny thing: More variety! More variety! ten per planet like the backgrounds!

    -Planet Description: get rid of the "keywords". add more possible descriptions for each planet, possibly procedurely generated descriptions??

    -More Creatures! variety in the monsters is definitely important. perhaps give them random colors?

    that's all my ideas so far.
