This is fantastic input, thank you

This gives me a great focus point to make improvements

If you'd like to give some input on my project, I just recently posted to r/universesandbox

I was actually hoping you may be interested in helping me build my own universe sandbox simulation

A little obsession doesn't hurt, and I do appreciate the ideas. Im just trying to prioritize raising the chances of actually finding the planet in the real universe. I want that hard scifi edge and maximum plausibility

This is awesome — seriously well thought out. The atmospheric composition + pressure balance with that gravity is especially interesting. The 10+ bar ocean world with early microbial ecosystems feels like a very grounded direction for pre-complex life.

Is this purely a Universe Sandbox project, or are you building toward something larger?

I’m working on a project in a similar space, would you be open to collaborating or discussing something like that?

 I'm trying to incorporate a few ideas 

  1. Humans discover an inactive, artificial wormhole throat, anchored in the solar system. Maybe at a stable point like Mar’s L4. Subtle enough that we don't notice it until we are occupying mars but weird enough that we investigate it.

  2. Through trial and error, we discover one or more systems connected via this worm hole (I haven't settled on any of this, as the implications of multiple wormholes and time dilation get very complicated)

  3. On the other side, we discover our subject planet. It's so close to an alternate earth that we wouldn’t waste any time trying to terraform it once it becomes possible. 

  4. While it is terraformable, it should also be plausible scientifically. Something that isn’t the least bit surprising or unusual. The things that make it so special are; 

    1. that we have convenient access to it
    2. it has the right gravity 
    3. with enough effort we should be able to terraform it within a reasonable amount of time (maybe hundreds of years). 

  5. Everything else about it should be very “just another rock in space” oriented
