Terrain Styles Reference

TerrainStyle is a set of built-in terrain presets used by SimplePlanetFactory.Spawn.

Namespace:

using StellarModdingAPI.Planets;

Values

Value	Description
EarthLike	Boring terrain with moderate mountains, perfect climate for beans. The default style.
Mountainous	Tall mountains.
Desert	Low, wide dunes.
IcyFlat	Mostly flat terrain.
Alien	Exaggerated, chaotic terrain, doesn't look like Earth at all.

Example:

SimplePlanetFactory.Spawn(
    sourcePlanetName: "442 Otrera b",
    name: "Bean Planet",
    radius: 320_000f,
    terrainStyle: TerrainStyle.Alien
);

Note

Each preset also clamps the resulting terrain height to a style-appropriate range (for example, Desert and IcyFlat stay much flatter than Mountainous or Alien).

Note

If you need more control than these presets offer, use PlanetSpawnRequest.TerrainOverride directly with PlanetFactory.Spawn instead of SimplePlanetFactory.
