STEP ONE: Redesign the sun so that when a comet enters the system, it sends out a small amount of it's fused material to grab them and drag them into the suns gravity well.
STEP 2: Have the sun reabsorb them.
STEP III: Break the ice down into hydrogen and Oxygen.
STEP D: Use these materials for great fusion.

I think stars cannot be green, but.. who minds

I think it depends on the gases that make up the star, and the temperatures/fusion that occur in the star. Normally, stars are made out of hydrogen, helium and other atoms low on the periodic table. I assume that our sun is made up of some exotic gases, or we aren't using atoms from the periodic table.

But I digress.

That seems very.. Artificial, does it not?

We're pretty much a god.

Puny things like the laws of physics don't apply to us.

Also, Rule of Cool.

[DinosaurusRex_x]

Go supernova.

That'll teach comets to come knocking on our planet.

Alright, if that's the consensus, but the more artificial-looking phenomena the more strange and alien theories your people will come up with, and the more variety, which means more wars and more chance of failure.

For example, Sol is a 90% natural system, in game terms. A few oddities, but not too many. SYSTEM already is at this level just due to the suns coloration.

You get to play one tribe per species that develops. The better situated the planet, the more species, but also the more wars. Eventually, only one species will survive, probably being yours. If it isn't, it collapses and you get another chance to flourish. But right now you're trying to just get SYSTEM up and running before your star goes nova on it's own.

Create a large purple gas giant with green polka-dots. It will have exactly 23 moons. And a distinct lack of rings. The purple will be slightly swirly, and the spots will be migrating storms that move about its surface. All of the planets will have sufficient geothermal energy to be able to support life.

This but without the polka dots (how the eff are you going to expalin them also?)

[DinosaurusRex_x]

Polka dots = unending storms.

Also, we require HEXAGONS ON OUR POLES

THERE'S A MOTHERFUCKING HEXAGON ON SATURN!!!   

[NightS]

... ok but those dots must move (i mean, not unmovile storms, but this is just a dumb detail)

> make a tiny hevy planet rotating stupidly fast almost touching the star. It's made of iron and occasionally passes through magnetic features of the star causing it to send out EM pulses.

[Karnewarrior]

You make a small ball of molten iron quite close to the star. every once in a while it sends out a EM pulse, disrupting electronics across SYSTEM. Congratulations, you've managed to cause irreparable harm to a otherwise healthy-

O.K fine it's not that bad. Just a flare or two. Your Living Planet will need a strong EM field to counter it, though.

~Barney was a dinosaur...~

[USEC_OFFICER]

Clearly, Barney's magnetic field will protect its moons from the harmful EM pulses, allowing some of the outer moons to support life (The inner ones get fried by Barney's magnetic field).

Remember that each of Barney's 23 moons could support life, and we have, what, 11 planets to grow a civilization on? (Probably less, as those on the outside would get burned by the EM pulses).

[DinosaurusRex_x]

Build a planet with an iron core right before the asteroid belt.  It gets smacked around by the occasional meteorite, but its atmosphere becomes thick after being hit by an ice comet storm and meteorites with protein codes on them.   After many years it starts swallowing asteroids and forming a couple of moons.   6, to be exact, ranging in size from kilometers in diameter to a hundred meters.

[choobakka]

We must create life on Barney's 17th moon, hereon named Banegroves the Sphere of Epic. They will be small four-limbed hairy things that can only survive in magma vents in the ethanol sea.
