Your planet builds its crust from exotic minerals (32.7% 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: 32.7% (>=12% Ca/Ti/Al/K/Ni/U)✓ Standard rock: 1.8% (<15% - silicate rules never claimed it)✓ Temperature: 331K (240-380K temperate band)✓ Air + water ingredients: 40.0% O+H (>=15%) with an atmosphere

Contributing Factors
water45
Limited water content (low gravity lets water escape to space)
geology90
Active geology recycles nutrients and drives carbon cycle
rotation100
Optimal rotation period - balanced day/night cycle, moderate weather, and good heat distribution
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 (extreme seasons: at 76° the poles swing between months-long day and night: −17% habitability)
magnetic Field100
Magnetic field provides radiation protection

✓ 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.
