Orlunda is a fairly earthlike planet and is tidally locked to it's parent star, resulting in the same side facing the sun at all times. Most of the surface of Orlunda is covered in a sheet of ice, which increases in thickness towards the dark pole of the planet. The sun facing side however is lush and green and contains some almost tropical lakes, which are fed by the melting glaciers closest to the sun-facing side. Due to the large difference in temperature between the light and dark side of the planet, the region in between is dominated by mountains aswell as large cracks and folds in the crust of the planet.


Gameplay tips:
The planet is pretty similar to EarthLike, but has slightly higher gravity and lower atmopheric pressure, so it's slightly more geared towards rovers. It's divided into three zones, green, red and white, according to the color of the terrain. They all have different ores.
All: Fe, Ni, Si, Co, Mg (extra cobalt on beaches)
Green: Ag, Pt
Red: Ag, Au
White: Au, U (extra uranium in ice canyons)
You can find ice in the lakes, on the icy side of the planet and rarely underground below the red parts. I would recommend to spawn in the green area, if you spawn somewhere else you might want to just respawn, unless you want a more hardcore experience.
