>>55462741Oh, that's an interesting conundrum. Yeah, I guess it's gonna be hard to avoid some kind of desert overlap. with warm eyeball planets. I wonder if you could get an atmosphere thick enough to fully stop flare radiation from hitting the ground? Though green house effect would probably keep things as warm as an oven anyway. Maybe the lifeforms mostly live floating in the cooler, more exposed upper atmosphere, and when a flare alarm happens, everything and everyone just dives out of the sky towards the ground to take refuge in the thicker part of the atmosphere, and then once it passes they climb back up before they overheat?
Don't mind me, just spitballing.
Wait, gen 4 already? Is VNU accelerating?
