Planets textures randomly generated or not ?

[CMDR McCare]

Hi there,

I was asking myself a question while exploring the galaxy. I'm actually wondering if, for example, every Earth-Like planets have a unique texture/appearance randomly generated or are ALL these planets using some presets. In others words, if I find an Earth-Like planet somewhere in the galaxy, can I find another one to the other side of the galaxy with the exact same look ?


What I said here also apply for Ammonia and well basically any planet.
If someone have this information I would take it.

Thanks,
CMDR McCare

Procedurally generated, not random

 

[CMDR McCare]

So are they all unique ?

 

[Flimley]

Yes unique and based on mathematical formulae.

I'd say non-landable are not unique, could be wrong though. (But there are several for WW for instance). Landables are unique.

You could always go exploring and check

I see, I'm reassured, I would have been a bit sad discovering same planets

they are not randomly generated. they are made via fibonacci numbers and indeed unique.

I didn't know that they made a set of numbers out of pasta?

 

[Imo]

it's called procedural generation.

Does it come with tomato, or a cheese sauce?

Tomato I think. I've seen tins of Fibonnato pasta medley in Asda. Always go there for the classy food.

You've got it wrong way around, mate. Fibonacci is pasta made out of numbers...and it never falls into the bowl the same way twice.

Now that is excellent wordplay sir, big respect!

I like pi, but I can only ever eat 3.14 slices.

Good choice, but which sauce type?
