Question about planets

[Security Cam #7]

Whenever I spawn an Earthlike planet there is not much flat space. In fact there are lots of hills, mountains, small long holes to break your rover and generally uneven terrain. On normal Earth though there is flat space literally everywhere.
My question is: Does anyone know what's the seed of earth? Or perhaps does anyone know a seed where there is a lot of flat space? Last planet I spawned was literally a snowball.

The current see is 0 that is default. I do not know that you can get a less rough terrian for that planet. Mars is better but no o2 so more challenge.

I'm a bit confused.

If you are suggesting that the Earth like planet you get with the prestarts like Easy Earth or Star System are different from the Earth like planet you can spawn in then I believe you are mistaken.

They are all the same Earth like planet. None of the planets or moons are procedurally generated.

That seed number option applies only when you select Procedural Asteroids.

Here are three pictures, the first two are of spawned in Earth like planets with "different" seeds and the third is of the planet you get with the Star System Start.

Note the same featues. But if you are looking for a flat place to build then that desert region is where you want to be.

But earth on the earth start isn't covered in snow. The earthlike planet I spawned has snow everywhere, green spots are scarce and mainly on hills where the resources are.

Might be the size of the earthlike planet you spawned in. The default earthlike in star system is max size on the slider.
Think of it like the flat spot is the size of a road, when you scale it down the flat spot is the size of a ruler.

I'm pretty sure you can decide the size of the planet at least. I've spawned 19km Earths and 120km Moons and the geographical features stretch or condense accordingly.

I believe you are correct. At least they look different sizes.

But I'm still seeing significant areas of desert. But perhaps the smaller planet gets a rougher texture to coorespond with what the OP was indicating.
