To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

i guess we had such a alpha or two ago... 😉
Perlin-noise function with too high a maximum height and too small an area... I think it happened to anyone who has ever played around with perlin noise... 😉
I sort of found the problem. The bug was simply that the random seed used to generate the system had changed. I've sorted that out, but I'm still not quite sure what caused this to happen. I'm going to ignore for the moment - its now producing the same results as it did before all my changes, and that's all I need.
Perhaps you should keep a note of the parameters that generated that planet terrain, maybe someone'll include something like this in some special missions...
if asteroids are ever put into game this could have some uses
No its certainly not meant to look like that.
It should look like this, although this is Deimos the two should be very similar:

Yep, you got to watch out for that Giant flying spaghetti monster.
