I thought I’d check which 2^N gets you to a trillion, it’s N=40. So you can have 40 parameters per planet and add one more, then suddenly you’ve created an extra trillion planets.
And that’s assuming just toggles, if each parameter has 10 levels you only need 12, then add one toggle and you get trillions. Heck, I can name 12 parameters that have at least 10 different values off the top of my head:
Amount of water overall (oceans and lakes)
Amount of mountains
Amount of Forrest on the land
Amount of life forms
Temperature
Amount of moons/rings
Size
Amount of rivers
Whether the landmass is one big continent or multiple small islands
Amount of volcanoes
Amount of caves
Amount of iron (or any other resource)
Congrats, if you now add a does the planet rotate toggle you’ve created trillions of planets.
