I traveled to a glacier planet that had an ice cover of 92% and a water cover of 8%. Well almost the whol planet had greenery on it and the surface tempurature was -64c. The water was plausible but the plant life was not.

    The ice quantity have been fixed for today's release, but fully natural fix of that would have to wait till the planet generation rewrite.

    Also, -64c on a glacier planet?
    Did you note the address?

    The planet addres is "2AbcqzBmx50a" and it's in galaxy 0

    Are you sure?
    That gets me to a warm desert planet.
    So it's either a typo or a BIG bug in Spaceway.

    That's the one.
    Almost an anomaly, at the very edge of the type.
    No, such worlds cannot be properly handled by current simplistic biomes distribution.
    With -28 at equator at day and -138 at pole at night there should be no life at all, but it's only concerned with fractions of water/ice/grass.

    Heh i just found out something interesting. This planet could have water but it would be extemely salty. I think it would be called brine with a freezing point of -40
