Forest Planet

Planets in Starbound are entirely procedurally generated and filled with unique content. No two planets are the same. The terrain of each planet is procedurally generated as well as weather, gravity, difficulty level, plant life, behavior, and appearance of alien creatures.

Their size is unconfirmed although the engine supports infinite size. Whether or not this will become a feature is unknown.

Tentacle Planet

Every planet in the game has a threat level, from 1 to 100. Level 100 threat planets are intended to be difficult even for players that have end game gear.
It is confirmed that you will be able to rename your home world. Whether or not you can rename any planet is unknown.

The current confirmed biomes on planets are: Forest, Arctic, Tentacle, and Desert.
