Carbon World

Magnetic FieldModerate Activity
Why is this a Carbon World?Your planet's carbon (100.0%) outweighs its oxygen (0.0%), so the mineralogy flips from silicate rock to carbide - a graphite crust over a diamond mantle.
Carbon worlds form in carbon-rich disks where there isn't enough oxygen to bind it all into silicates. Instead carbon condenses directly into graphite, carbides, and - under pressure at depth - diamond. They form water-poor, so no life takes hold.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Carbon: 100.0% (>=20% required)✓ Carbon exceeds Oxygen: 100.0% > 0.0%✓ Mass: 1.0x Earth (<=8x hycean ceiling)

Contributing Factors
water0
No water - the recipe has no hydrogen and oxygen to form it
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry20
Limited organic chemistry potential
atmosphere40
Atmosphere present but composition not ideal for life
temperature100
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

Surface views from three worlds: rocky ground under a ringed sky, a cloud deck, and a lit desert

New: Stand on Your World 🏔️

Every planet you build can now be seen from the ground. The terrain, the color of the sky, the weather and what hangs overhead are all read from the same numbers that shape the globe — so a thin-aired world gives you sunlit rock under a near-black sky crowded with stars, a runaway greenhouse seals you under an unbroken sulfur lid, and a gas giant leaves you in the cloud tops with nothing solid beneath you at all. If one of your moons wandered inside the Roche limit, what is left of it arcs overhead as rings.
