Tidal heating

Would it be right to assume that US2 does not account for tidal heating between orbiting bodies? would be awesome if it did, its a real important phenomenon.

Well one of the devs is developing SPH so you can tear planets apart with gravity etc. so that will be simulated eventually

They should make Jupiter's moon Io erupt based on tidal heating

That would be interesting, I think it would be more of an End Game feature.  Mainly because it is barely noticeable unless you looks for it.

I want them to make the most obvious things first then get on and polish the game with features like this.
