Simplifying Gurps Space world creation

Agemegos · 09-20-2023, 09:21 PM

Noodling around through random output I came across a gorgeous system, a G8/K6 binary with a standard garden world orbiting each star, a strong terraformation candidate (Ocean world) orbiting one of them, and some circumbinary planets. Lovely! I saved it and got a .json file that I don't quite see how to open.

The outermost planet of this system is a "Tiny Sulfer" (sic) planet. Apart from the typo, I seem to remember that sulfur worlds ought to appear only as the innermost moons of gas giants.

The listing for the garden planet of the G8 star looked like this:

name: 7rw-I4
type: Standard Garden
temperature: 122 F
climate: Hot
pressure: Standard (0.907 atm)
gravity: 0.667 G's
blackbody: 301.4 K
toxicity:
tags: Breathable Organic Toxins
true false Ocean Coverage: 0.7
affinity: 6
resource Value: 1
diameter: 0.741 of Earth
density: 0.9 of Earth
distance from star: 0.648 AU
minor moons: 0
major moons: 0

Note the flags "true false" at the beginning of the line for Ocean Coverage.

I suggest listing ocean cover as a percentage.
