This Planet takes the place of Mercury, and is tidally locked to its parent star. A combination of the tidal forces opening volcanic vents spewing magma and ammonia and the intense radiation from it's parent star has created a magma filled ammonia-atmosphere burnt wastland in the day, with a freezing cratered glacier highland in the night.

For once I also got the tempurature to a somewhat realistic amount, that being 472 F / 245 C in the day and -273 F / -170 C at night.

Also bcs in the system it'll be tidally locked to the sun, you wont ever see the glacier highlands in daylight like in the pictures.

    @HyperPatch I actually figured out that setting the water shader to a number above 1 makes it glow, so I made a better version with glowing lava and better terrain

    @Deanolt RigidmultiPowerV2 Perlin noise with a -1 strength with a max input of 0 and a min of -1 of something like that

    Remember when people thought that Mercury was tidally locked? Me neither.

    By the way, you should copy-paste Pedro's lava into your XML so it glows and stuff!
