Percent Bug Alpha 8
« on: August 11, 2014, 07:15:31 AM »
I've just found this water percent bug when I was terraforming planets

Image 1 - Everything is normal and the % of the water are 0



Image 2 - ...




Is that a bug? Please tell me... It's kind of annoying

I think the reason why it still shows a low percentage is because all the ice is just covering a thin layer near the surface of the planet, and the iron and silicate is below the ice.

That really makes sense.

For a sense of scale, Earth's oceans and other waters make up only ~.02% of the planet's mass.

Yes, that sliver of water percentage is technically only a sliver of mass on the planet seeing all the rock and other materials inside the planet.

Correct.
