This is not so much a bug as it is a correction or suggestion. I was looking at the legends and I have a deity: Zas Limulavuz Ber, "Zas the Golden Mine of Earth". Now it may just be me, but Earth seems really out of place here, as the planet I just generated is called Olzulxesorslozgo. I was thinking maybe Earth should be replaced by the name of your generated world.

Pretty sure that's Earth as in "dirt".

[Doler 12]

earth can mean soil as well

[Sylth]

Yes, I see that but isn't it only called Earth because the soil is the planet. You can pick up a clump of Earth on Earth but not on Mars, you pick up Mars soil or Mars rock.

"MARS!"

"FIRE!"

"VEEND!"

"WATA"

"HEART!"

"By your powers combined, I am Captain Nitom!"

Dirt was also called earth occasionally before we called this planet Earth.

Earthenware dishes, for example.

Edit:  Just checked, but we've been calling soil and dirt earth (erda) since the 8th century or so, and picked up calling the planet itself Earth around the 14th.

Fire, Wind, Water, and Olzulxesorslozgo.

Nope, doesn't have the same ring.
