Planets and Stations

[Forsyth]

I'm trying to build a shipyard/hub that is supposed to look like a planet's plate. I decided that the best option would be to just use a planet's plate. Are there any good planet killers available on the Community Content? Is what I'm trying to do feasible at all? What type of planet do you think I should use? I'm thinking either Ice or Alien

Why not just build the plate or "something similar"?

I kind of like the random terrain generation (which is hard to replicate)

Could port stuff like the old cookie planets like this https://starmadedock.net/content/earth-like-cookie-planet-working-sector.7071/
into stations via https://starmadedock.net/content/blueprinttype-converter.1010/

You could also find some 3D terrian on the web and use https://starmadedock.net/content/smbedit.6216/
or https://starmadedock.net/content/smedit-binvox.5135/

If you are unable or unwilling to replicate the effect, copy and paste can become your best friend. Visit planets and copy parts that interest you. You'd be surprised what you can come up with.

You can also build you own planets for decoration if you want.

Just keep in mind; radial gravity doesn't work right yet so you'll have to improvise.

Holy Schema that's awesome!
Very well done

Thanks. I was trying to wait for Schine's new icosahedron planets but it's been a year and a half and I really need my planet base fix. I was getting the jitters and cold sweats. Terraforming is a hell of a drug!
