@QZM2 (last message continued) with the last fractal type V2, and amplify the noise by single digits and the frequency by double digits, if you want mountains on the blank templates, I suggest you make either the noise or the frequency (but not both at the same time) a negative integer. Now Canyons and rivers, canyons, load up the martian template and go to the valles noise, now, keep the noise the same, edit the noise amplification by single digits and frequency by double digits, the fractal type I'd say FBMV2, as well you can edit the mountains noise (up noise and frequency by single digits). Rivers, you need to do the same as canyons, however, change the noise type to Value fractal with fractal type being Billow Power V2, and amplify the noise by single or double digits and the frequency by double digits, I will send some example worlds to help you out now, anyway, My apologies for not seeing this sooner, I think JNO hadnt notified me, or I was too busy with academics within the past 2 weeks.
Live long and prosper, hope this helps

@QZM2 I can help with craters, and possibly the canyons/rivers (canyons and rivers on martian template only). So lets get the basics down, when you enter the planet studio, you will see "create planet" click there, you will get a variety of templates, Jovian, cold jovian, Oceanic world, Martian world, Terran world, Venusian world, Forming world (commonly known as the lava world) and lastly the Blank world (just grey and flat)
Most planet makers would normally start off with the blank template, so if you do plan to gun for the blank template heres how to do craters and hills, firstly when you load and name the world (you can edit the name later as well), on the left hand side you will see a small panel with symbols, the 3 lines, is where you can edit the celestial body, you can rename it, edit its version and type in its lore, as well as its surface gravity and even the fade skybox switch. the water symbol, there you can edit water and add it or not, its very versatile, however when selecting the gradient its hex-code dependant so I suggest you get an ingame colour wheel, pick a colour you like and remember its hex code (hex code will be on the bottom right of the colour wheel selection panel) and then type it. The wind symbol is for atmosphere, you can toggle that on or off, edit temperature, molecular weight etc, an important thing worth noting, is that the wavelegnth colour for the atmosphere, is not the actual colour, rather the opposite (colour wheel positon opposite) colour, so if you want red, you need to go opposite of red to get a red atmosphere, whatever you do, dont fiddle with the positioning of the gradient selector, else your atmosphere will hurt your eyes or look like trash, if you want a white atmosphere you can drag it down slightly (its rather sensitive), when it comes to ground, the wavelegnth thing works the same as the atmosphere iirc. then you get a symbol with a square and diagonal lines in its interior, thats a texture adder, you can add textures from your ingame gallery there. then, we get to the noise, its symbol is 2 mountains, now once tapped, you will see a bunch of noise related things, now, if you want to add craters, the add button, is the circle with a + in the middle, now you will see a ton of options, simply search for "Craters 2", as thats more editable than craters 1 (however if you want, you can play with craters 1), with craters 2 you can edit the noise type, for craters I suggest maybe you can use Perlin fractal noise. -

@Aludra877 I mean I guess I would want to know if possible to understand how to place craters on a plane and 'distibute' them evenly or not evenly, because I lake when a planet has craters, and another thing, is there any ay to add like a cuztom kanyons or rivers, liek that crater on mars ? thanks

@QZM2 thanks man, we'll, if you want I can give planet studio tips, like most things, the planet studio, once mastered can be a walk in the park

@Aludra877 hey man, I wasn't active for a while, at the moment, im not making any planet's, the planet studio is a bit complicated to me so im just upvoting other people's creations, like yours, cuz they look cool
