6:26 the planet being chopped in half like this is super cool. I'd like to see a mod planet that just comes in two halves like this, if that's possible. 8:42 Just the atmosphere and gravity well would also be fun to play with.

[@zwenkwiel816]

yeah would be cool to just build stuff in between the two halves with gravity going in all weird directions.

[@DWal32]

last time I checked, planets are made using basically textures, and can only have 2d surface level features get painted on. You cannot create an *actual* planet that's been cut in half.

[@victor_creator]

@@DWal32 Maybe you could get a similar effect by making a really, really deep canyon?

[@tassiedevil3]

​@@victor_creatorThat may actually be possible, just grab pertnam and it's crater, it'll have a few bridges but it would still be in half.

[@malkrie1444]

As someone who used to work on a planet for a server and is a little familiar with this, you can certainly do this. However, there are two main issues. First, since SE uses cubic interpolation between values on the heightmaps, extreme differences in height will cause "death spikes" as I like to call them, which can only be removed via gentle height reduction over longer distances (think like blurring the heightmap along that range). Second, you cannot fully separate the two halves of the planet, as there has to be at least one point where all the voxels converge. To be honest this is all in theory but the results of my testing and development would suggest it is possible. Also fun fact there is a way to make specific voxel materials invincible.

[@kmdgaming6039]

Can you imagine doing this in a server and someone being utterly confused and terrified of how an entire planet can go missing but leave a "void" of gravity behind?

[@Anuwabu]

I always thought a 'planet' that was just an empty round atmosphere dotted with floating islands (just asteroids with grass and trees on the topside) would've been the coolest custom planet ever. And you've nearly made it by 7:40
