Why is this a Exotic Terrestrial?Your planet builds its crust from exotic minerals (23.1% calcium/titanium/aluminum-family rock formers) instead of the silicate-iron recipe every standard rocky world uses.
Exotic terrestrials are temperate solid worlds whose geology skipped the silicate playbook - carbonate plains, titanium-gray mesas, alkali flats. They can hold air, water ingredients, and real habitability, but with no silicate continents or iron core they are their own class, not earth-likes.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Exotic rock formers: 23.1% (>=12% Ca/Ti/Al/K/Ni/U)✓ Standard rock: 7.7% (<15% - silicate rules never claimed it)✓ Temperature: 247K (240-380K temperate band)✓ Air + water ingredients: 15.4% O+H (>=15%) with an atmosphere

Contributing Factors
water39
Limited water content - mostly frozen
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation30
Very slow rotation - severe temperature swings between eternal day and night sides
Organic Chemistry100
All CHNOPS elements present - building blocks of life (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry)
atmosphere70
Nitrogen atmosphere provides protection but not breathable
temperature40
Extreme temperature - very difficult for life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection
