How to Create Habitable Planets in Universe Sandbox

This is an updated tutorial for how to terraform planets in Universe Sandbox 2
This will show you how to make a habitable planet as well as some other basic functions. This is how you get life in Universe sandbox. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will try my best to answer them.
This guide is based of a steam guide by SyzFish
Please check that out here -

Your tutorials are so precise and easy to follow, you take a slow pace and even point out things other creators would assume the player would already know. Thank you!

[@gavinchaseplaysroblox2737]

when i was doing the random rocky planet part, i instantly got a habitable planet with an atmosphere and water XD

[@_bored_wrld]

could you do a video on how to get the settings right to get stable temperatures at the blue-green habitable zone?

[@Space_Chip]

i’ll look into that!

[@darreldowuona]

I face the same problem

[@Space_Chip]

I have a newer video about how to control a planets temperature that should help with that!

[@Tryuiip]

You can make a moon like Triton habitable by just increasing atmosphere layers

What name is the game

[@hihunter7]

USB is such a beautiful and serene game. The music is so aetherial and mystical, the graphics are good enough, the details and room for creativity are endless, and the cohesiveness is just beautiful. I love it. Just perfect.

[@drewkastelajara3812]

To be honest, this is the best tutorial of making habitable planets i've ever seen!

[@B4nce2010]

You're my favorite universe sandbox youtuber, keep up the content❤️

[@valerioharvey7289]

It's so nostalgic to see your old videos! At the time I discover this channel, you just had 20k subs. I cannot believe that was a year ago?

[@Paul_Crafting]

Thank you for this tutorial!🙌

[@IceSpoon]

Thanks for the tutorial, really helped me understanding those weird atmospheric tabs. So I have a question: How can you terraform moons if they're outside of the habitable zone? There's this premade map where a habitable moon orbits a gas giant due to tidal waves, you just play around with magnetospheres and atmospheres until it's done? :O

[@zerel4042]

Thanks this would have taken me a week without your help

[@ichidoo8293]

This game gives me panic attacks for some reason lol. Great vid btw.

[@italianseacreature6985]

I wish planetscaping could be used on a 2D projection so you wouldn’t get lost so much

[@keyahndp9]

It's crazy how much he has changed since this vid

[@lightning_dragons]

I think you can make a habitable planet on any star with the planet being placed in the habitable zone depending on where it is, cause didn’t you make a habitable planet around Stephenson 2-18?

[@R0bL3on]

Yes it is possible.

[@colincraib2830]

I dont like how the planet is so dark but other than that I love it!

[@chrissmeaton]

For a second I did not realize this was space chip until I looked at the channel (my son wrote that)

[@DumbYT]

I watched a channel that made vids like these but then they stopped years later I discover this channel I love universal sandbox 2

[@lettinyaknow8631]

How I accidentally made a habitable planet: failed to make the moon not crash into Mars. Result: Planet becomes habitable due to temperature rising.

[@bearsofintelligence3491]

About five seconds after I increase the water level, two strange textures form at the poles and move downwards until they converge at the equator, leaving the planet darker in coloration and completely without water, even though I am well below the boiling point and have a sea level of several kilometers (usually about 70% the value of the elevation span). Do you know of any way to work around this?

[@reelmsy3831]

is bug i think

[@titanicbigship]

It's because you're ocean Mass has been changed to not a number 💀💀💀 p buy the game and you can't even change it if you press randomize planet

[@shaunosmorrison8385]

can you have the likely habitable exoplanets like Kepler 22b, Kepler 186f and the TRAPPIST planets in the game?

[@Space_Chip]

some discovered exoplanets are in the game. I will make a video showcasing them and creating more not in the game already

[@shaunosmorrison8385]

@@Space_Chip I've been thinking about getting the game at some point. Think it'd be cool putting them around various stars and seeing how their conditions would be

[@Space_Chip]

it’s a wonderful game. If you have any questions about it let me know

[@obs6630]

Great tutorial. However I followed your steps and the planet is either way too cold or way too hot. Also the "Average Alebedo" is always in negatives. Idk how you got positive numbers.

[@CatInSpace.-ge6sp]

when I tried to slide up the sea level bar it didn't do anything, I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if there was an update.

[@donnielee8556]

Thank you

[@the_kunikuzushi]

Friend, please help! When the sea level rises and water is added to the planet, an incomprehensible ice cap appears at the poles, which evaporates water and makes the planet darker. How to fix this?

[@the_kunikuzushi]

I don't know if it's icy or not, but it dries up all the water on the planet.

[@bearsofintelligence3491]

I have the exact same problem and it’s driving me mad! Nothing online has helped me in the slightest at fixing this bug

[@the_kunikuzushi]

@@bearsofintelligence3491 I agree, there is nothing on the Internet. Such a problem does not arise if you place a planet in the solar system, this is the only way out that I found ..

[@bearsofintelligence3491]

I also noticed that - it’s really strange how that’s the only way to workaround this issue. Unfortunately, even if I make a save of the solar system plus my additional planet, the next time I load it up the planet will have the same problem and “lose” its water. Awful

[@the_kunikuzushi]

@@bearsofintelligence3491 Looks like it's just a bug, let's wait for it to be fixed.

[@ryanschuck6549]

I have an issue where the temperature drops whenever I try to add an atmosphere on my planet. Any solutions?

Change the Infrared Emissivity to a higher number, it's at the atmosphere tab. :)

for some reason when i put moons on planets the star takes it away????

The gravity of your star is to much, try placing your moons closer the the planet

[@VoidedVoidedVoidedVoid]

the star could have too much mass

[@amydelaney2908]

YES SIR

How did you remove the rings?

[@Space_Chip]

ctrl z will undo what you just did

[@Space_Chip]

Alternatively, you can select your object and hit ctrl s to save it, then place it in the system again and it won’t have rings.

[@Mapper_Space]

Your restrictions on the characteristics of a habitable planet is too unrealistic. They could be from 0.1 to 2 earth masses, the rotation could be from 12 hours to 100 days (Or even tidally locked), the star can be from G0V to K2V, the tilt cannot be too little, or you will get ice ages (ice ages on earth occur when the earth's tilt is at its minimum, or about 22.5 degrees), or too much, as the temperatures would vary too much and too often for life to survive and adapt. The average temperature and the maximum temperature must be between the freezing point and the boiling point of water, so water will be liquid (note that I did not mention the minimum temperature, as on earth that's the only part of its temperature range that is outside the liquid range of water at standard pressure (1 bar or one atm). Also moons can be very close and not cause issues. If you put one at 100000 km, assuming its of similar mass to earth, and the moon and planet would tidally lock to each other, and since the moon is so close, the orbital period of the moon, and hence the day cycle of both objects, would be less than 10 days.

[@Mapper_Space]

The moon being so close would not cause huge tides because they are tidally locked to eachother, so local sea levels would not rise and fall constantly.
