Random Planet Generation like stations

[Gamel]

So, there are many different planet ideas among the suggestion forum
And WHY we can't have all of it? like we have the different stations, just a probability issue.

I mean, this is a universe, not every planet is rounded. There should be more forms.
Why not......(for example)

40% current planet
20% disk planet
15% Valiant70's planet
15% Cube planet
10% Epic Huge Planet(see below)

Epic Huge Planet=another World. So it works like changing world in minecraft
Instead of loading screen, we can have special effect like the one we are having for jump/warp effect
The special effect is about heat generated when you pass through the atmosphere.
So it blinds you for a short period of time with strong light cause by heat

This have a few advantages:
1.)it draw super quick, just a image in the space, not blocks need to draw before entering the planet
2.)it have a loading time, but it do not feel like loading with the effect screens.
3.)With the planet in Minecraft way generated, each time it only
need to generate the few thousand of block within your view distance. Super fast to generate/load
4.)disabling "Star Eater"(the massive salvager), save the server from massive mining lag
5.)we can have super big planet, maybe this (faction block can't control the whole planet, PvP war to fight for full control of the planet) would be a good thing with such huge planet

Disadvantage:
1.) you can't have building punch through the atmosphere

I'd guess the reason would be consistency for actual implementation. Except for "Epic Huge Planet" which won't happen because of the "seamless" philosophy the game's development follows. Even a transition is a loading screen, just dressed up in a way. I think Valiant70's planets would be amazing if they worked, and effectively cause flat, dodecahedron, and cubes to be obsolete in function since they could be massive and have theoretically good performance on top of that.

Originally, schema did not want SM to be another Untold Universe (which implemented what you said about super-huge planets)

But if all these things would just be a change of coordinates and rotations for planet plates...? I don't know if schema can really go against it while implementing mod support at the same time.

THIS SOUNDS SOMETHING

It would be kind of cool if we have rare cube planets like they had in SPORE. would kind of fit the blocky world better then the other ones.

yes, that's what i mean, we should have different kind of planets, there is a group of people who enjoy cube planet so much

a little push, i really wanna cube planet:P
