A mineral heavy planet, Alsake is home to many subsurface mining operations to tap as much material as possible.

Why is this a Exotic Terrestrial?Your planet builds its crust from exotic minerals (14.5% 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: 14.5% (>=12% Ca/Ti/Al/K/Ni/U)✓ Standard rock: 14.5% (<15% - silicate rules never claimed it)✓ Temperature: 310K (240-380K temperate band)✓ Air + water ingredients: 52.0% O+H (>=15%) with an atmosphere

water100
Abundant water
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
Organic Chemistry50
Carbon and hydrogen present - organic chemistry possible
atmosphere50
CO₂ atmosphere with moderate greenhouse effect
temperature100
Optimal temperature range for liquid water and life (strong seasons from a 43° tilt, softened by deep oceans: −1% habitability)

✓ Conditions could support lifeThis planet’s modelled conditions could support biological processes: stable temperatures, liquid water and the chemistry life as we know it needs. That makes life possible, not present.
