so i searched around and only found 4 post regarding this particular idea so heres my version of the idea the planet is fully mechanized or cybernetic your and houses factorys and various other similar facilitys (i was thinking one area can be a prison cell were they keep anyone foolish enough to try to scavenge their planet in captivity these would be npcs who may be willing to help you should you choose to release them or leave them to rot and steal their stuff if you wanna be a douche) the inhabitants of said planet are most likely to be sentient robots and machines which are highly xenophobic of anything not mechanized meaning theyll attack anything living they will probabally be friendly to the glitch race sense the glitches are considered to be robot/mechanized as far as i know i guess. the enemys on this planet will drop highly advanced tech which imo you should be able to reverse engineer and learn the recipe for it the enemys toughness will most likely range from medium to hard difficultys youll need some advanced gear if you plan on surviving this planet. the odds of you running into the planet are rare untill you level up some as you level up the odds of you running into this planet increase. the boss of this planet can be something cool like a robot overlord who despises humans. (maybe if you defeat the robot overlord the other machines will turn friendly twords living beings?) on occasion you may run across lunatic beings who somehow managed to elude being captured by the robot overlord and survive this place (lunatic beings are people from various races and planets that have become trapped on this planet for various reasons after coming to it and have lost their sanity and mind they will attack you on sight regardless of your race they may also have hideouts which you can raid for stuff obviously they will be protected by traps to a point) the research materials are abundant on this type of planet ores unfortunately are not unless you search really deep into the planet or come across a really old rusted junkyard part of the planet where you can scavenge through the refuge and recycle stuff for ores the loot spawned on this planet would range from decent to good to epic.

Hey. A little tip for posting, use [enter] and space out your ideas into paragraphs. You've given a wall of text to read and it doesn't help your idea any. I'm going to try and sum up your points, let me know if they need changing: -Metal planet -'Evil' robot enemy NPC's -Friendly scavenging survivor NPC's -Giant robot boss -No resources (other then the metal the planet is made from) except at the core of the planet and in junkyards on the surface Most of your idea is pretty awesome. The idea of a cybernetic planet made of metal is a great sci-fi setting, as is your idea for a boss and the style of dungons and NPC's.
actually the scavengers are evil theyll attack you regardless of your race the robots on the other hand might be friendly to the glitch race sense glitches are robots too (glitches are that robot race in the character creator just fyi) there is a part where there are some friendly prisoners npcs locked up in some cells and may try to help you if you release them but you also have the choice to leave them locked up and steal their stuff instead. the robot overlord is actually not a giant boss hes bigger then the standard character sure but not giant. hes very fast and tough to deal with and has some gnarly attacks im thinking his weapon should be a cybernetic looking lance along with a lazer sword for quick attacks the way he looks is kinda like a robotic evil knight except his armor is his body. the metal planet will vary in appearance it might look completely metal or it may look like it has cybernetics built into it think of the death star from star wars for this one except its a actual planet and not a space station of doom. there are resources but its in research materials im not sure what to expect from this so i couldnt tell you more about it without playing the game first hand but other then that your right. if there is no research stuff available then the loot drop will have to be higher then your standard planet to compensate for the lack of resources.
