Materials will have customizable colors based on their physical properties that will blend on the surface of objects.This feature and interface are a work in progress. Artificial coloring is used here to help differentiate materials. Liquid materials added to the surface of a planet with the Planetscaping tool will blend over time. If you change the composition, the radius will change with it. ![]() Planet radii will then be calculated based on the phase and density of each material that makes up a planet’s composition.Material phase models are based on geological and astrophysical measurements and research.Make a planet entirely out of water and see the phases from the inside out (our current model says it would be 100% liquid inside). The phase of each material in a planet’s composition will be realistically determined based on its pressure and temperature.The cut-away view of Earth shows the individual materials, temperature, and phase of each material from the inside out. You can see the density of Earth increases as you move towards its core. This graph shows the calculated density of the materials of Earth based on their depth. Designing the properties, data views, and tools for you to construct atmospheres, build and terraform planets, and track these materials is a crucial part of our development process.Simulation of an atmosphere’s heating (the greenhouse effect), color, and opacity, including Venus-like atmospheres, will be based on their material composition.Planet radii and atmospheres will be realistically simulated based on the mass and phase (solid, liquid, and gas) of each material in their composition.Ever wonder how big the Moon would be if it were made entirely of oxygen? Soon you’ll be able to find out. We’re also adding advanced simulation to compute planet radii based on the pressure and temperature of each material in the planet’s composition. ![]() For example, new materials like methane will allow us to fully simulate lakes of liquid methane on Titan. We’re expanding the number of materials in Universe Sandbox you can use to simulate, construct, and terraform planets and atmospheres realistically. Material colors are manually adjusted to help see the lakes. Titan’s properties include the amount of methane and the percentage in each phase (solid, liquid, and gas). More Materials & Composition Simulation Titan with realistic lakes of liquid methane. While we plan to work on everything we discuss here in 2023, complications may cause features to be delayed, and our priorities may change. Many of our projects, like bringing Universe Sandbox to phones and tablets, have been in development for months or years. Improve our development tools to identify issues quickly and provide a more bug-free experience.Continue work on bringing Universe Sandbox to phones and tablets.Simulate light emission from hot planets.Overhaul our under-the-hood physics architecture to improve accuracy and performance.Add more materials for constructing & simulating planets & atmospheres. ![]()
