I call these things "tidal planets", and what i mean by that is, stuff like Vulco, where one hemisphere is completely different from the other. I'm just looking for an explanation of how you can make them.


Examples:
Proxima Centauri B by lordvader0219


Bolka by HyperPatch


TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets (artist conceptions, unknown name) - most noticable on D and F

    i highly doubt planned telescopes will detect any exomoons :c but definitely exoplanets

    yeah i hope so too, maybe once webb or some larger telescopes come online and working maybe we'll find some, only time will tell

    that makes so much sense, i hope we figure out a way to detect exomoons soon because they’re way cooler (especially around gas planets) than boring exoplanets :/

    i may be wrong, but i believe it's because larger planets are easier to detect than smaller ones using current telescopes and stuff, same reason why we haven't detected extrasolar moons yet

    why is the galaxy mostly of super-earths rather than normal exoplanets that are smol like mars or earth

    that is a working explanation, but i also want some that don't have water but still differ based on hemisphere

    i found it out, use radial flatten with negative elevation, change longitude to 90, then enable the "has water" property, so it will look like an eyeball. (might be more steps than that, but it's just what i found out myself)
