# Unique Planet Generation System (UPGS)

Planets in EXODE are created procedurally according to the **EXODE Planet Generation System**, or **PGS.**\
\
The PGS validates a number of objectives which are extremely important to EXODE.\
\
Planets follow a very rich design according to simple but ambitious core principles, detailed below.\
\
\
\
**EVERY PLANET IS UNIQUE**\
\
The planet generation process is extremely detailed **to ensure that every planet remains unique and valuable**.<br>

\
**EVERY PLANET IS VALUABLE**\
\
The game provides enough layers to organize supply and demand in many different ways ; so many ways that player economy could be varied just around its base concepts.\
\
The planet is there to interact with these layers, both in researching and designing, collecting and producing, while also having to avoid alien detection.\
\
**EVERY PLANET IS FUN AND CHALLENGING**\
\
The planet is there to interact with all game layers and provide fun but also challenges to the player as he discovers his new world.\
\
\
**EVERY PLANET IS ACCESSIBLE IN CONTENT**\
\
While EXODE follows a detailed generation system for planets, players only have to manage "surface information", such as getting food, exploring sectors, and surviving to the next day.\
\
Elements of information are revealed  in a step-by-step process.\
