Hello,

I was thinking about giving player more ability to customize generated planets. I can't speak for others but I usually re-roll generation results to get the best option for me. Lets say I want planet with specific gravity between 0.4g and 0.6g for some reason. I don't know why, I just want it. I will have to spend a lot of time re-rolling and manually checking if gravity is in brackets.
To solve constant clicking and re-rolling, there could be option to select brackets of wanted values, and after each generation, game would check if parameters fall withing selected ranges, if they are not within those ranges, automatic re-roll will be made until all conditions are in ranges.
Mechanics would include all aspects of current generation step so in paleontology it would be size, gravity, tilt and so on. In geology it would be wind speed, waterfall and so on.
What do you think about it?

I want those features!!!!!!

It'd be indeed very nice if we could limit certain things to a preferred state, I.E set the temperature range to a certain range, I prefer a Earth comparable range (8-17C),
also being able to specify what Stellar body I want to orbit would be nice,

another thing that I'd Love to have is Tooltips telling me what the Actual Ranges are for my rolls, I'm wasting Hours trying to get a planet with a certain rating and it's currently just throwing darts at an elephant whilst blindfolded, even if I don't know why, knowing that I can't, would certainly be a Major improvement of honestly one of the selling points of the game
