Why is this a Exotic Terrestrial?Your planet builds its crust from exotic minerals (13.9% calcium/titanium/aluminum-family rock formers) instead of the silicate-iron recipe every standard rocky world uses.
Exotic terrestrials are temperate solid worlds whose geology skipped the silicate playbook - carbonate plains, titanium-gray mesas, alkali flats. They can hold air, water ingredients, and real habitability, but with no silicate continents or iron core they are their own class, not earth-likes.
Classification Criteria:
✓ Exotic rock formers: 13.9% (>=12% Ca/Ti/Al/K/Ni/U)✓ Standard rock: 0.8% (<15% - silicate rules never claimed it)✓ Temperature: 260K (240-380K temperate band)✓ Air + water ingredients: 37.7% O+H (>=15%) with an atmosphere

Contributing Factors
water89
Abundant water - mostly frozen
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation30
Very slow rotation - severe temperature swings between eternal day and night sides
Organic Chemistry54
Carbon and hydrogen present - organic chemistry possible (tidal pools cycle wet and dry - a boost for prebiotic chemistry)
atmosphere50
CO₂ atmosphere with moderate greenhouse effect
temperature70
Challenging but potentially habitable temperature
magnetic Field100
