Re: In search of a conworld
I haven't posted for a while, but I wanted to find a conworld that I once saw. I'm not sure if I saw it on here or somewhere else, but it was a very cool, detailed conbiology project. I think the planet was supposed to be tilted so its axis always pointed towards the sun. I know that the informatio...

Green apples become red ones; but when a red apple is picked, there's usually still some green on it. either way, it was just a thought i thought to mention; apologies. if a rationalization is sought - sahara...
