I just thought I should say that I am enjoying this terrestrial planet generator very much;

especially if you do a bit of adjusting afterwards in Imageforge or some other graphics program, the worlds it makes are as good as most other methods, and there are many fine adjustments available...

Cool program indeed, a good way to start designing a planet.

Yuk. I'm really not a fan of these fractal terrain generators... largely because the geography of worlds doesn't work like that.

Yeah, that's true;

but using it as a starting point you can design your own system of plate tectonics for instance, and nudge the continents about a bit until they look as if they have a bit of history behind them.
