I am afraid I am quickly growing tired of the complete randomness of creating a world. We need input. for example I want less than 20 percent mountains and more then 10 percent water but generally I roll for an hor to get anything like that.

I want 800 or more water fall on Siwa planets again I have to accept high temps and roll for an hour to get it.

I can live with the random pop the random plant and animal stuff those usually don't take long to get something reasonable.

Agreed, i'd like a little bit more input into my dial- a- planet. I also spend quite a bit of time re-rolling to generally get what i'm looking for, it gets a bit tiresome. Surely there can be some settings or range settings that could help us out.

I think this belongs in "Suggestions and Feedback" rather than Tech support.

Any word on this?

Agreed. Look at the number of 'Tubes who have re-rolled many hundreds of times to get a world they want, when a bunch of sliders and checkboxes that set parameters would have been ideal.

"I wanted to create an Arrakis/Hoth/Pandora/Klendathu-type world - with worms/Tauntauns/megaforna/Archies! Two hundred re-rolls later this is the best I could come up with."

Not really ideal, is it. I mean, it's not even as if the game can't create close approximations to those worlds. It can! They're just all locked behind a needless game of chance.

Keep the random function as an option, sure; just let folks define some of the parameters themselves as well.

I am taking this feedback along with me, but I think the random generation is also part of the charm of the game.
