Factorio pretty much rewrote its world generation to account for new planets—like this volcanic one (www.pcgamer.com)

Starfields world gen is realistic. Empty plants with empty caves dotted with mining facilities.... Yeah.. That's actually probably what space is going to look like lol. It's not something youd want in a video game though.

There is a particular thing that really irks me with starfield.

I enjoy it. I've spent 200+ hours in it.

But the planets/moons arent indicative of the range of things we might expect. Mountains, valleys, or planets with active tectonics, or oceans. etc. That little bit of added features on a few planets would he enough.

Take Earth for example. I feel like I should at least be able to visit landmarks like the grand canyon, Mount everest, or the Mariana trench (given what happened to Earth's atmosphere).
