So is it possible with current selection to have a desert planet with small jungle biomes mixed in? Or is that customization not available?
Right now it appears to just be a random generation, at least on test.
Abydos must wait then
I have been wondering more about the terrain generation myself.
Once the planet is generated it would seem so far that you are stuck with however the planet looks even if you don’t like the layout or style.
My own thoughts or ideas on this would be to let us re-roll or regenerate the looks of the planets terrain Maybe?
It would just really suck if i got a planet with single blocks of gleam or Other sparse block types i was wanting 
Or if wanted a certain type of looking tree etc.
I think when we 1st got the ability to reclaim, there were some issues with getting forged items back or something. (I didn’t want to lose any items so I warped back and forth like 30 times, manually moving all of my gear to my new place lol). Or maybe it was just used forged gear that had issues?
I wonder if it’s the same bug/issue?

To be honest it sounds unlikely at this stage.
Personally, and this is circumstantial, I’m more for affordability at this phase. I mean, I have my preferences, but if this is the difference between $5 worlds and $20 (just random made up numbers ofc 
) worlds, I can deal with some wonky terrain.
I hope they eventually consider some sort of setup or up front fees that allow for deeper customization without increasing the monthly cost too much.

just started up on my sovereign world.
if there is anything anyone would like me to test etc than let me know.
seeing the lack of colour choice 
…that will definitely be a deal breaker for me at the start.
(edit: even with the more extensive palette of active worlds, it is still a deal breaker)
access outside and down the hill of @Fante hub on Dand.

Keep in mind your color choices are based on the test world’s. Not the live world’s. So you’d have a lot more options when the update goes to live.
Your initial roll is random. And then you can choose any colors that have already been found, either in a permanent world or on another sovereign world.

Well the palette you’re seeing is based on colors available in test. It will be at least a little better in live as there are a great deal more worlds to begin with.

I’d be good with upfront fees for more customization so they can make some money off it. Since as it stands it seems like they won’t be making any money of the rental. At least goin off of what @Xaldafax said
Referring to what? Why wouldn’t they make money off rentals?
And that’s why I shouldn’t rush out a quuck game play session and post because I was eager to start cooking lunch

If we are only paying the hosting fees why would they make any money? Hopefully they will make some bout i doubt it’ll be much. So more customization higher upfront fee sounds good to me. As long as after that the monthly fee is the same as every other type
Where is it confirmed that we would only pay hosting fees? You don’t think the devs are going to try to make any profit on rentals? What would be the point for them aside from the possibility of them bringing more players who will buy the game? I’d assume they’d want them for a more consistent revenue stream
More planets equal more cubits potentially being bought. And it was never confirmed. Just what @Xaldafax mentioned about it not likely to be much they’d make off of them because of the hosting fees and storage. And as he has conversations with them he’s more privy to stuff than we are.

Colors in public are not that much better. It is still less than 35 colors for every type of rock. So if players are expecting 100 color choices they are not going to get it.
Indeed. It would certainly be good if there was a decent overview of what colours would be available for each block type before paying for a sovereign planet, so you could make an informed decision… and I don’t just mean it should be another thing ‘the community’ has to do and maintain if they want it.
There is a google sheet that outlines all the colors on the existing 50 planets. With that you can see what your choices will be. That is how I determined the limited number of rock color options. This of course does not add new colors, if they even spawn.
