Planet

=Planets=

Planets in Spore play a crucial part in the game, as they are where all major activity happens. They contain cities and creatures.

Types of Planets
From what has been showcased so far, there is a wide variety of planets. Gas giants are possible, and habitable moons orbiting gas giants have even been displayed. Rings around gas giants are possible, as are rings around rocky planets. The size of rocky planets, however, has remained small in comparison to gas giants.

Computer-Generated Planets
Some planets in Spore are computer-generated. That is to say, they are created by algorithms. The developement team is including a wide variety of algorithms, making anything from hyper-realistic worlds to whimsical planets. Oceans seen from E3 2006 have ranged in color from a pearlescent green to a ferric red, hinting at the variety.

User Created Planets
User created planets are planets found (or possibly formed) by different players and then terraformed. These planets are then uploaded to the server and spread through the content pollination system.

Other
The Sporepedia can keep track of planets, by providing a card which contains the planet's stats.
