It was originally designed to generate worlds for a Traveller campaign, based on the original UWP data but expanding it to include multiple planets per star system. text/html 2008-03-30T16:31:13+01:00 Samuel Penn http://mapcraft.glendale.org.uk/worldgen/consumers?rev=1206891073 See also: Resources Consumers consume commodities, either as end products, or to turn them into other things. Firstly, we need to be able to figure out what people want. Doing it per commodity would be way too complex, so try and simplify into generalities. text/html 2008-03-30T14:03:29+01:00 Samuel Penn http://mapcraft.glendale.org.uk/worldgen/resources?rev=1206882209 Planets, moons and asteroids are generally a source of resources, which are then traded across the galaxy. When worlds are created, the types of resources that they provide also needs to be generated. Resources are obtained by either Mining or Farming. text/html 2008-03-26T21:50:51+01:00 Samuel Penn http://mapcraft.glendale.org.uk/worldgen/systems?rev=1206568251 Consists of 1 or more stars, plus 1 or more planets. Non-UWP generated star systems could have zero planets. Main World The main world is the world described by the Traveller UWP. It is the world with the best star port. Colonies A system may have several smaller colonies, which can be mining colonies, research bases or just places for people to live. text/html 2008-03-26T21:46:21+01:00 Samuel Penn http://mapcraft.glendale.org.uk/worldgen/resources/ferric?rev=1206567981 Relatively common ore, found on most rock worlds which have metal cores. Especially common on metal rich worlds, and rocky asteroid belts.

Generally dead worlds, they manage to cling to an atmosphere without going through the massive greenhouse process of Cytherean worlds. They differ from Phosphorian worlds due to their proximity to the sun, and may be tidally locked. Unlike Phosphorian and Cytherian, it is the stellar heat and not the atmosphere which make them inhospitable hell holes. text/html 2008-03-24T11:54:54+01:00 Samuel Penn http://mapcraft.glendale.org.uk/pcl/phosphorian?rev=1206359694 A hot terrestrial world, similar to Cytherean worlds but without the thick atmosphere. The clouds are less opaque, and the greenhouse effect is reduced, but the world is still dry and barren. A Phosphorian world could be an early Cytherean, or simply doesn't have the ability to form a thick atmosphere despite the heat.
