This looks like a great tool to help with what you might want on a private planet. . Thanks @Stretchious

Cool! Thanks 
I wonder if we will be able to make a private planet that is all desert biome like Dune. . or covered in ice, or an ocean planet with only a few scattered islands?

Planet with nothing but mountains, water level set to 2

I know in the long run they plan to allow full customization. I do think that wonât happen in gen one based on how it isnât in creative yet, that we wonât be seeing it if privates come soon.
I am not sure why a planet that is all ocean or desert has to be a creative planet. If all we are ever going to do is repeat the same boring color palettes and biomes then the public universe just gets more and more boring. Players already complain the planets are essentially the same with very little variation. Do we really need more of the same planets just mixing up the already repeated colors once again? If those end up being the options then might not be any point in renting at all.

Hopefully time will be put in at the start to do something like the website. It would delay things but certainly make the rentals be a win from the start.
I always had wished Level 1 planets were like they were but on Level 2 and up things got way more crazy and varied. I think it was a mistake to only really change stuff on the top tier worlds. I fear any population increase now because that part of the game hasnât changed and any new public planet would just be the same.

OK, itâs definitely been a long time since Iâve worked on the site in any meaningful way (burn out is definitely a killer!), but Iâve actually enjoyed working on a few things on the site over the last couple of daysâŚ
So without further ado, hereâs the new stuff:-
- Sovereign worlds are now finally visible on the site.
- Where colour information has been made available via the Boundlexx API, this has also been added.
- âVisible Worldsâ has been changed to âReachable Worldsâ, which will now show all worlds within 50 blinksecs (basically only showing worlds you can actually warp to). This displays as closest to furthest away, so if you need to know which planet a certain world orbits, you should be able to find that information quickly.
- Within all listing, sovereign worlds are identifiable by a small globe icon (similar to the universally adopted icon used within game).
- Nice new shiny world icons are autogenerated by the site if a Map has been made available (via devs) and uploaded to the site. These will autogenerate continuously over time (currently set to a 3 week interval to allow manual upload of new maps). I may make these centre on the capital if there is one, but that will be a project for a later date.
- A larger version of the new shiny world images can be downloaded for use on forums listings. Simply navigate to your world page, hover over the world image at the top and click the download icon.
- Any unlocked block colours for sovereign worlds are automatically visible in the crafting pages as per the permanent world colours.
- Moved the Portal Distance Calculator from the Lore section to the Worlds section for more visibility as it made more sense there.
- Added rich-text data to worlds pages, so now you get a little extra info when linking to a world on the site.
Example of rich text linksâŚ
Disclaimer: Some world names will be listed as their internal ID - This is because they only contain emoji and I wasnât prepared to start messing about with emoji names.
Any suggestions for improvements to the site, please shout!
In the mean time, have fun and stay Boundless

Portals and warps page is fixed.
Silly me trying to stuff all the data into a single one-time request and overloading the select box⌠ran out of memory

I saw your now-deleted post on the Pharoh thread, which gave me the idea⌠on the item pages like https://boundlesscrafting.com/crafting/gleam, how hard would it be to add an âunavailable tintsâ section? When Iâm picking colors, I like to choose ones that nobody has yet, and this would save me a bunch of time each month.
I think it could be possible. Iâll have to grab a list of unlocked colours and just compare them to those that have been logged. It wouldnât be entirely accurate though, as itâs using the Boundlexx data which relies on players using the colour logger. It would be better if the devs found a way to expose more of the planet data, including colours, in one of their APIs.

Oh, I definitely get this limitation and issue, though thatâs true of all âcurrently availableâ sovereign world color information. I think Boundlexx exposing a âlast verifiedâ date on the color scan would be helpful as well, IMO.
