Planets

Planets are the main feature of Icarus. Pops live there and Moons orbit around them. Decisions can be made to protect them from the Sun and transport people around.

For most of the versions of Icarus, the amount of existing planets is 9, although in the initial release, there were 11. Also, the names of the planets other than the first and third were randomised until the version 1.2.2.2.

In 1.4.0.0 and probably most versions of the game, the amount of moons orbiting around the planet is defined by the planet size. The planet size starts as pSize=(planet number)-1+round(random(((planet number)-1)/2))+1, and the amount of moons is then defined as for every (i2=0; i2<(pSize / 2) + 1; i2+=1), a moon is created. This means that the minimum size for a planet is the number of the planet, pnum and the maximum size is pnum+round(((pnum)-1)/2).

States
Each planet has 5 states. These are described in the Sun page. Also note that Pops values change over time and that these photos used the Icarus Source Code.
