MojoWorld could generate entire planets through mathematics and procedural generation, using a simple graphical interface and a planet-generation Wizard. [1] The resulting terrain could then be navigated in 3D space much like a videogame, allowing users to easily find exactly the right place for a scenic landscape picture.
Worldbuilding is the process of constructing an imaginary world or setting, sometimes associated with a fictional universe. [1] Developing the world with coherent qualities such as a history, geography, culture and ecology is a key task for many science fiction or fantasy writers. [2]

This is a list of fictional countries from published works of fiction (books, films, television series, games, etc.). Fictional works describe all the countries in the following list as located somewhere on the surface of the Earth as opposed to underground, inside the planet, on another world, or during a different "age" of the planet with a different physical geography.
Fantasy cartography, fictional map-making, or geofiction is a type of map design that visually presents an imaginary world or concept, or represents a real-world geography in a fantastic style. [1] Fantasy cartography usually manifests from worldbuilding and often corresponds to narratives within the fantasy and science fiction genres.
Other than the Terrain Tool, the Backpack is the Astroneer's main tool. The Backpack functions as the player's inventory and HUD , with two quick-use slots, eight storage slots, a basic 3D printer , a small internal power supply (shown by a column of yellow segments), and a built-in oxygen tank (shown as a horizontal blue or red bar).
Schematic diagram of the orbits in a binary star system. One planet is in a P-type, or circumbinary, orbit around both stars. Another planet is in an S-type, or circumstellar, orbit around only one of the two stars. Circumbinary planets are sometimes nicknamed "Tatooine worlds" after the Star Wars planet. [17]
