| Apr 2, 2018 at 1:14 | comment | added | elemtilas | Your basic quesion: "I want a valid reason as to why they couldn't just create a mechanic "mech" suit?" isn't related to worldbuild so much as it is to the plot of your story. Honestly, if they can build starships that will bring them other planets, a mechanical mech suit should be relatively simple to engineer and produce. If you're insistent on a GMO, just leave the human pilot on the starship, connect her to the nerve box on board, implant a nerve box within the GMO and simply transmit signals between the ship and the planet. Problems solved. That'll be 125,000 quatloos, please (cash only!) | |

| Apr 2, 2018 at 0:02 | comment | added | Niko | I was thinking of adding a water-like element that has high viscosity and oxygen and blah blah to compensate for that to make it easier for plant life to grow very big. A little bit of "magical" explanations or wonky science is okay as long as most of it is supported. Regardless, do you have any suggestions? | |
| Apr 1, 2018 at 23:59 | comment | added | RonJohn | "could high gravity planets even create very large fauna/flora?" I don't think so, since water gets up trees via capillary action, and gravity works against that. Also, gravity would pull down anything that's not supported. | |
