Interesting terrain generation procedures

I'm not sure. I'm going to use linear, but I might switch if it's a problem. It's something to tweak.

Linear would see to be the best to me.

Roadkill, are you sure you would want to create a sphere? As far as im concerned the planets will be immensely huge, thus worrying about spherical generation would be close to worthless.

I always liked the size of spore planets. A little bigger wouldn't hurt, but absolute realism is insane.

I never did, I thought/would enjoy if this game had closer ties to reality in terms of size. /close subjective opinion go ahead/

The thing is though, we won't load all of the planet at once. We can just have places tagged on it to be biomes. The game won't even need to populate them until you visit them.

Never say we do Spore sized planets! Trees are the relative size of the moon!

We can get around the problem of size, as said above. We can, we should, and we will...

And it should work a lot better than just having people the size of mountains.

I belive it is roadkills call, let him decide what he wants to do.

Hmmm... just someone please tell me when you do decide, as my biome placement is pretty relative to planet size. A decent, viable planet should have room for more than 10 biomes, or else this evolution thing isn't going to work too well. Populations wouldn't be large enough, for one thing...
