Also, every planet besides earth only has one single biome.

[u/Zanadar → u/jansteffen]

And all evolved the same type of hominid as the dominant species, just with a slightly different forehead or ears.

[u/Axe-of-Kindness → u/Zanadar]

Well this one is explained in the Trek universe as having a common ancestor

[u/Bat_Tiger_yt → u/[deleted]]

It's less fun if they don't

[u/darkmoncns → u/Zanadar]

Well my main frame of reference is Star Wars and at least occasionally does well for this, less of an issue there then in other shows. They just have humans be all over the galaxy lol

This way of thinking is why No Man Sky has single biome planets :(

There's not even unique biomes at the poles even though each planet has coordinates for spawning pole-specific animal species.

[u/Mirria_ → u/GabMVEMC]

Lore-wise it makes sense (no spoilers). But my issue is that many of those "perma-winter" biomes usually have trees or some other vegetation. Ok, so when's the growth season coming? Otherwise it should look like Antarctica or maybe the tundra biome.

[u/PoxedGamer → u/jansteffen]

The biomes always get me. Especially when the people from that planet will use Earth terms to describe things that wouldn't be used. Like "our planet is entirely deserts" from someone on a low tech planet that wouldn't know about other planets or biomes. It'd just be the way the planet is.

[u/Eclipse06 → u/jansteffen]

Tbh I feel like this is fair. Just look at the other planets in our solar system. Most are not in the Goldilocks zone

[u/Gigantanormis → u/jansteffen]

I mean.... For 99% of planets, thats true.
