Looking good!!  Glad to see a new pic  ;D  Will the lava planets emit their own light on the dark side?

cool, will a magma-filled planet slowly cool down to form rocky planets like how earth was formed?

that might need some sort of atmosphere and ecosystem simulation but this procedural stuff is good!

if a small planet collides with the lava planet will the lava gets spitted out to space and maybe land on another planet? and maybe the lava will cool down into a asteroid?

Looks awesome so far! Will we be able to manually choose planetary designs that the procedural engine is capable of making?
