"Every hour we spend on that planet will be seven years back on Earth"
Miller's Planet is a planet and the first planet in the system orbiting Gargantua. Miller's Planet takes its name from Dr. Laura Miller, who landed on the planet with her lazarus pod and activated the "thumbs up" beacon. It is also the first location for the crew of the Endurance visit.
Miller's planet is a waterworld, covered in a seemingly endless, shallow ocean. The planet's gravity is described to be "punishing" at 130% of Earth's, forcing human astronauts to move slowly and with some difficulty while on its surface. Time on the surface of Miller's planet passes very slowly relative to the time experienced by Romilly and that experienced on Earth. Romilly calculated that a single hour on Miller's Planet would equate to seven years back on Earth. Because of the planet's proximity to Gargantua, the immense gravity of the black hole causes the planet to be roiled by massive tidal waves as tall as 4,000 feet. There is no sign of dry land on Miller, which may not exist because of the sheer volume of water on the planet.

@Zenithspeed I analized Cladh's terrain and compared ir to Mann's, they are very similar so i will use some of Cladh terrain generation for the planet

THE RETURN OF THE KING
by the way, for the icy planet (Mann's, i think it was called?) i think you should use one of the billow power noises, as when i saw the film i distinctively remember some of its terrain being reminiscent of those, with the deep "cracks" yet overall rounded shape and whatnot -

I am Back baby and this time to stay
i will remake the system entirely to upgrade it, the old planets look very old for a high quality system
@StarDominatorIIVV nice 👍🏼 btw im back so hi
