I actually kind of like giant plants floating around.
Yes, I agree! Planets are good, too!

The world that screenshot was taken on might have been a moon in a relatively tight orbit around a gas giant with lots of other moons. Which is, in fact, exactly what it looks like.

Seems like you can, in fact, visit Endor-like planetary systems. I'm still offended. Somehow.

And then, they will be weaponized. Like everything in this game, from kittens to babies, everything is a potential device of murder.
So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

It's got large tracts of land, birds, and huge gold deposites.

Are you sure that's a moon?

This. Jupiter, as seen from Io, would have an angular diameter of ~19 degrees (~4 degrees from Callisto). As a comparison, the moon from Earth has an angular diameter of ~0.5 degrees. The other moons would of course change size since they orbit, but That is a little overkill for this game, I think.

Clearly the reasons why the planets are so big is because the atmospheres are rich in high spectrum obtainium.

Yet given the color of the sky I can only assume that it has somehow also been ionized as well, so it is likely a molecule that contains obtainium, likely hydrogen.

So hey, latest update. Temperature? Temperature. Starting to make me idly wonder how much of a survival component the game's going to have (and if it can be turned off >_>).
