This could be an interesting addition to the planet flora.

"During volcanic eruptions, it is possible that diamonds from the interior could come up to the surface, resulting in
mountains of diamonds and silicon carbides."
That could be quite a challenge for a galactic economy...

I'll try and see if I can put together a couple of planet surfaces for this.
I've toyed around with it earlier with applications like fracplanet.

Nice project !
You could then make a little tutorial or an " how to create a new planet in VS " ?
I could have a look to the procedural part in the vegastrike src .
But i think the process is documented somewhere in the wiki already .

I think this is the documentation I followed a couple of years ago:

Here's a windows application:

...Aaaand why do people think of instructions as cheating?
