Is this normal, or did I miss something? This is really strange!
Oblate spheroid?
A truly "egg-shaped" planet would be one that is stretched out by tidal forces. Unfortunately, tidal stretching is not yet modelled in-game.
Although, just to be pedantic for a moment, even that wouldn't be "egg" shaped, since many eggs are wider at one end than the other. Rather, that's just an elongated ellipsoid. (Roche ellipsoid, Prolate ellipsoid, Biaxial (or uniaxial technically) ellipsoid, something along those lines).![]()
I was feeling proud of myself for resisting that pedantry, but I am glad someone else did go there![]()
Ugh you guys! Eggcellence.
