These are also the last thing I need to do before I can release the next development build, so I&#8217;m trying to work through them as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve started with the gas giants, and the new system has been largely homogenised into a single function that is capable of making any type of gaseous planet. So all I need to do now is tell it what type of gas planet we need and it will generate its surface accordingly. I&#8217;ve also designed it to be easily extendable, so if we need to add any additional types of gas planet in the future it will be quite straightforward. Scope for some rare exotic ones, etc.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been spamming these all over Discord, but for those who haven&#8217;t joined our server yet (why not!?)
