I present to you 6 months of work (majority of which was learning how to make planets)
Feitai, a mars-sized planet located in the Kol system, stands out with its bright orange glow resembling that of Titan. The planet's distinct orange color is not a result of its soil being rich in iron, but rather due to its unusual mix of gases in the atmosphere. With a dense atmosphere almost triple that of Earth's, Feitai is mainly composed of 40% argon, 54% nitrogen, 4% neon, and a small amount of fluorine (2%). The vibrant hue of the planet is attributed to the presence of Nitrogen and Ammonis, while the absence of oxygen sets Feitai apart as a truly unique and foreign world.
Feitai, even though it is far from the usual habitable zone, supports a diverse ecosystem that is quite different from Earth's. The only creatures that live on land are the Kulo, massive coral-like formations that emerge from the planet's surface. These giant structures rely on chemosynthesis, using the planet's distinct chemistry to sustain their growth. Explorers should be careful around the Kulo, as they are made of sharp quartz and climbing them is not recommended.
Feitai's terrain is packed with remarkable locations. Mount Feitai, a massive volcano towering at a remarkable 23 kilometers, holds the title of the tallest point on Feitai. The slopes of the mountain are covered in sulfur, indicating the planet's active volcanism. Valles Metis, a vast gorge, runs through the landscape, with its bottom filled with a vast expanse of liquid ammonia. In the polar regions, large methane lakes glisten under the chilling sun.
Feitai experiences extreme temperatures, with nighttime lows dropping to a bone-chilling -60°C and daytime highs barely reaching -50°C. For any visitors from space, it is important to remember to bring warm clothing and never mistake the ammonia seas for a refreshing drink.
Feitai's unusual characteristics go beyond just its appearance. Feitai is located in the Letis microgalaxy, which is known for its peculiar mix of elements. In this region, there is a lack of hydrogen but an unexpected abundance of argon. This is why Feitai has a high density, almost twice that of Earth, and argon is the main component in its atmosphere.
Thanks for reading all of that! I have spent a long time on this planet and i am proud to show its official release to the world.
Peace, PlanetFloofi.

that canyon in the 1st pic and the terrain in the 4th pic is crazy.

@deepfriedfrenchtoast Thanks! I spent a while trying to get Valles Metis (the 1st and 5th pics) and Mt. Feitai's Crater (the 4th pic) perfect! Eventually im hoping on adding ground scatter, like Kulo and hydrothermal vents under water.
