Any feedback from it on why it does that? Could be gravitational reasons certain orbits aren't tenable.
I really need to work out all the details of Šaol's star, so I can edit Aldebaran into it.

[quote Nessari, Illúbequía, Seattle, Cascadia]I don't know enough of the physics to say for sure, but I'm not exactly surprised. Venus is smaller than Earth, thus it's going to have a lot less geothermal heating going on. I don't know if its orbit is close enough to counteract that. You might try adjusting its distance inward to see if you can thaw the iceball.
Also have you found any better way of building a solar system than editing Sol or starting from absolute scratch? The pregenera...

The Worldbuilding Questions Thread (2014-10-11 00:41:49) :
So Universe Sandbox has confirmed, as far as I'm going to investigate it, that a hot-Jupiter scenario for my conworld is plausible. The star is about 5% more luminous than the Sun is, and the planet- a gas giant with 1.25 the mass of Jupiter- is at 1.10 AU. As for the "moon", it's about 9000 km in radius and somewhat more massive than the Earth. It has no sub-moon. It's unclear whether you can ever make sub-moons stable.
In several ways, I feel like inhabited moons might be even more pl...

In other news, Universe Sandbox appears to confirm that a Hot Jupiter setup isn't at all implausible. I constructed a gas giant with 1.25 Jupiter's mass and sent it around the sun at 1.05 AU. Around the gas giant I sent an Earth-like moon with a 10,000 km radius, which had a Charon-sized moon of its own, and, further out, a second gas giant (about half the size of Neptune) orbiting the bigger one. All orbits were stable.
(It MAY be a bitch for spacecraft, depending- Charon orbited the E...

I'm pleased that you like it. I seriously wasn't even considering standard writing directions until you said something.

- I very much like the lack of the superstructure on gh/qredo, always seemed a bit tacked-on to me (in freeflowing at least).
- The nature of forming mesa/níta took me forever to get…though to be fair I'm not sure how best to emphasise the curve being the emphasis.
- I like the 7 for raso quite a bit. The far-right cursive one one the Alphabet page has always been problematic for me to produce without disrupting the flow of writing massively, being left-handed. I suppose with practice I...
