I’ve been working on this textual exoplanet description generator for a while now. It’s at a point where I’m pretty proud of it. Here’s an example:
Xi Virgo e, “Santopitar”
A average 1.06 Earth-mass, perfectly temperate 280 (± 10) Kelvin rocky silicate planet with almost 1.7 times the expected density and gravity, and a crushing 16 atm atmosphere of reactive gasses spotted with vivid reddish-orange clouds and extreme winds. One hemisphere is coated with glassy reddish-orange lowlands and with a few large strangely warped chasms and the other; marked by dozens of cellular craters packed with crystalline oxygen, and isolated regions dominated by cellular reddish-orange dunes. The surface material is otherwise undifferentiated drab beige cobble.

That is super cool! I really like the multiple terrain features + color scheme. Very evocative without getting bogged own in minutia.
