While in reality moons are often tidal locked relative to their planet, in the game the modifier "Tidal Locked" rather concerns the relationship with the sun.
Contrary to this reality, the probability of a moon getting the "Tidal Locked" modifier is currently increased by a factor of 3.
Suggested changes:
A moon that is tidal locked to its planet is not tidal locked to its sun, and will therefore not suffer from only a "twilight zone" being habitable.This world is tidally locked around its star, meaning that one side always has daylight while the other is locked in eternal darkness.
If life exists here, it is likely limited to the twilight regions where the two sides meet.
Contrary to this reality, the probability of a moon getting the "Tidal Locked" modifier is currently increased by a factor of 3.
Suggested changes:
- Moons should not get the "Tidal Locked" modifier.
- "Tidal Locked" should be much more common for planets orbiting red dwarves and brown dwarves.
(Weak magnetic fields should perhaps also be more common there.) - All planets in the Trappist system should have the "Tidal Locked" modifier.
