Hi.
Planetary description say that these planet can sometimes (rarely) get non carbon based alien life. I tried to get it by rerolling a lot and never managed to get some.

Is it possible ? Which parameters are used to generate alien life ? (I choosed a 5 billion years planets hoping to maximise the chance, but did not worked).

It would be interesting to have a tickbox to force it.

The game is really great, thanks !!

DasTactic said on his review of the planets than you will never get intelling life and if you ever get life, it will be bacteria or grass levels.

Per the 'tool tip' for the Seth Class:
"It is rare, but possible they host an Alien biology with non water-based type of life."

I have tried re-rolling for minutes on end & yet to have any life forms appear.
Not a huge deal, but I was hoping for a chance to get a life form similar to what we see on the fictional planet of Arrakis.
I would like to see the 'rare' setting be adjusted up to allow for such things; or at least an option to do so for one's enjoyment.

I am finding the best (only) way to generate 'alien life forms' on a desert planet is to avoid the 'Seth Class'
Use the 'Unclassified' class, generate a desert biome via the 'Geography' screen & proceed to re-roll per the 'Biosphere' screen until life forms appear.
This, actually, does not take a lot of re-rolling to get decent results.

Thanks for the tip :) I got a desert planet with life now as well using the unclassified one.
