It all started with a discussion about Sky Update on More Detailed Ocean thread. I was discussing with a good fellow @thorn elm and he wrote "yeah fr planes got big potential", I read it as planets not planes and I got a big idea about update in space

Here are some of my ideas for a Space Update:
**- Planet(s?) **
• So ofc such an update couldn't do without a planet(s) and they could be reached using a rocket ship made using the objectinator that is in the wip of devs. And so, to avoid making this game too space-y, everything could be on one planet
• This planet could have a few biomes, its own slightly different gravity, attraction etc., there would be new ores and materials to obtain, maybe some new items that could be obtained here and generally some of its own mechanics here
**- Biomes **
• Crater Regions, a place with a high concentration of meteorite impacts containing some ores or minerals.
• Alien/Unknown/Foreign Forests. There would be an alien or just strange flora in the form of some tree to be cut down and maybe sth else.
**- New ores **
• There would be new ore-holding stone nodes, sth like Cosmoslate/Cosmorock/Cosmic Stone for some new normal ores (or just some cobalt, zinc, lithium) and e.g. Etherstone or whatever, which would be rarer/harder to obtain and have richer ores. Maybe the ores that are already in the game (like uranium, lumite, palladium, mythril) could be somewhere on this planet in these new ore-holding stone nodes too.
• We can come up with some more detailed ideas about new ores on this thread
**- Other ideas **
• I came up with Laser Drills (a bit through Terraria) that could be needed to dig anything on this planet
• Ancient ruins where you could find something interesting
and so much more

If it sounds interesting to anyone, then talk about it here and bump it so that these suggestions have a chance for a future update

Thats cool, but u think the lag is gonna break the game

[little dirge]

New players boutta be confused where is where and what is what lmao

[cobalt hornet]

I mean, this would be a further game, at a higher level for sure

[cobalt hornet]

that's prob true but I'm interested what would the dev say and there must be some optimization options

also, some random design ideas

[white wind]

let's make this game in unreal Engine 5 and the problem will be fixed

[thorn elm]

So much to do with this update

Hope they make it so rockets are useful with the objectinator

Imagine

[sinful canyon]

but lag?

[lean hinge]

Maybe they can make it so you go to a different server for less lag?

When I saw this suggestion I instantly remembered a very old video about oaklands planets or something it was been uploaded when there was very very "first" map of Oaklands
