Odd Ammonia world?
- Thread starter Roqinn

The category "Ammonia World" refers to there being ammonia based life.
As to the Ammonia Oxygen atmosphere with no actual ammonia or oxygen, I have no idea LOL.
This is definitely "a thing" in the Stellar Forge's mindset - it has this peculiar habit of listing Ammonia worlds with no ammonia.
But I think I have the answer...
Whizzworlds
That's what I call the flipside quirk the 'Forge throws at us - Waterworlds where the atmosphere isn't water...but actually ammonia!
Clearly there's some major Magrathea level shenanigans going on here...I'd wager that for every ammonia-less Ammonia world out there, there's a Whizzworld that has the missing ammonia in its own atmosphere. Simples

Crazy Ammonia Worlds with carbon-ammonia-based life and crazy water-based thinking Bubble-Commanders.
Surely this is a deliberate confusion to prevend Commanders making strange things with these populations which would lead instantly to a new accumulation of antimatter in our Galaxy.

I suspect that ammonia worlds are modeled after Saturn's moon Titan, considering the likeness of lake features. Titan is thought to have ammonia under its crust, and an atmosphere of mostly nitrogen.
