    to create a different planet, only using a new coordinate or changing the world generation algorithm

    It will definitely not be like "dropping one block in space and build upon" because you're not really moving on an object in some particular space... If I recall correctly someone already asked if one will be able to dig through the planet and I'm pretty sure the answer was: no-ish!^^ I mean, think about it, if you were able to do what the OP asked you needed to be able to rotate the blocks before placing them.

    I think it be cool to say "accidentally" launch asteroids into each other to form a mass we can build on

    I would love that, if you started with a blank core, you could change the settings, weather, natural structures, and the ecosystem.

    Well with Terra-forming you can make it however you want. (Well, somewhat) This is good enough for me in my opinion.

    I assume you would be able to destroy a planet to its core then add whatever you want to it after that? (Sorta counts as a new planet?)

    that's the meaning of Terra-forming that soprano mentioned

    This would make a really neat feature, especially for map makers!
    I most likely won't build my own planet if it was in game though, unless I did most you could do

    Well terraforming is more lightly modifying a planet to resemble earth or to create livable conditions, NOT BRUTALLY ANNIHILATING it to create what you want. :p

    would help for those people with the wan for custom planets if teraforming did have an option for demolitions as they suggest thogh probably wont happen butcould help the map makers

    The main problem with this idea, is that last I heard you don't actually get to free-roam around space.

    From the sound of it, You have your space station, which is kind of the main hub area, and you can travel to planets by typing in a set of coordinates (works similarly to the way seeds in minecraft work.)

    You don't even need director mode.
    There's an item called the kinetic manipulator or something that lets you move large chunks of earth around your homeplanet.

    Who needs to make a planet when you can just terraform one?

    I do. I need to turn on an intense symphony or something, and wave a techo-stick like I'm a conductor.
    In accordance to my movements, engines strapped to various asteroids and small moons will activate, thrusting them towards a central point.
    At this central point they will smash together, and be smashed into by other oncoming bodies.
    Eventually I will have a suitable jumble of rocks, of which I shall drill to, and then melt the center of.
    In this fashion I shall slowly craft my own planet, or what have you!

    I could lead an army of cat mechs to terraform my planet into a giant paradise with giant luxury mansions everywhere. it shall be a place for everyone to chill out at!

    Or... Mine a planet, I mean mine EVERYTHING on the planet until all you have left is a core, then build from that. Same difference really.
