    What if you could either find or create nuclear wasteland planets. ( Through weapons of mass destruction aka nukes and such. )
    This could change things like:
    • The creatures getting ill and getting mutated.
    • You getting sick if you're not wearing some kind of suit or mask.
    • Your pet going into a frenzy if on the planet to long.
    • Rain still exists, but is less normal, instead you got acid rain.
    • Cities and city planets are ruined, many mutated inhabitants roam here, including cyclops.
    How to fight it / cure the planet:
    • Build a shelter then try to purify the water.
    • Destroy the entire planet. ( Put it out of its misery )
    • Nuclear waste powered Ozone creator
    • Don't know so much more solutions.
    Awesome ideas by other people

    I was going to bring up a zombie infested or a world that got nuked.
    but you beat me to the punch.

    Nuclear Wasteland Planets seem like fun. Something like 'The Corruption' has been suggested before- this might be the answer. Instead of spreading though, it would be placed on a planet due to planetary bombardment. Howver, perhaps Glass Worlds might be a nice result if energy weapons are used. The former is terraformable, the latter... not so much.

    This sounds great. Think about how scary it would be to be on a virtually empty planet. Just you...and the mutants

    It's an intersting idea.

    Worth thinking about at least.

    This sounds cool! It'd be like a 2-D Fallout!

    How about one of the solutions is something like a nuclear waste powered Ozone creator? That way the Ozone will be fixed, and the radiation would be disposed of.

    That would be really awesome if they implemented this.

    Releasing a creature that feeds on radioactive energy into the wild would be a plausible option.

    It sounds like something that could of gone wrong on the planet... they tried to fix it.. but THEY took over

    From what I remember what the devs said, each planet should only be like another level, not something you "should" be attached to other than your homeworld, cause they're as numerous as sand on a beach. I would love to see these as a challanging place for difficult quests.

    This sounds like a fun idea. To transverse a ruined planet with mutated abominations would be a fun environment.

    A creature that eats junk and scrap metal would be cool for this sort of planet, you could set them to work cleaning it all up as you restore the planet to its former beauty. This of course would be on a lower danger level planet.

    Then you find out it's Earth :O

    1) Thats a fine idea about things that eat junk

    2) This is a planet where the only things alive are things that lived threw nukes, things changed, painful monsters, thinks left behind to eat the mess and clean it up, things that don't want to be stoped

    3) In thery there would be an unlimited amount of such planets, so finding out it's earth wouldn't work

    But I haven't played the game yet- how could there already be that many planets nuked?

    A very good queston:

    By having them nuked before the game even starts.

    Just every other planet in thery would of existed before the player.
