Initial Planet Ideas -
Rainforest?
Populated mainly by bugs - big ones with their own kind of civilization. Maybe build structures and grow food off of harvested foliage like leafcutter ants, probably don't talk but communicate with smells. High Carbon Dioxide levels fuel a planet filled with heavy vegetation and the bugs are living. Maybe not super advanced but sheer numbers overwhelm other species and make them, for the most part, the dominant species on the planet. Maybe they still get prayed on but developing tools and structures have separated them out from the other animals.
Why have these insects thrive over other animals?
- Out-breeding others? Excess of plant life keeping their population fed for a long time, they've begun to farm and expand on resources as their population skyrocketed
- Very, very warm atmosphere, lots of Oxygen with the excess of plant life
- Short lifespans, very fast turnover of life let them adapt very fast
- Maybe they took their initial advantage against little mammals and bird type species and ran with it so they never got the chance to evolve as much as they did here
- They could be growing too fast, maybe out-eating all their resources - vast farms, pests that eat them
- More complex society developed amongst them
Seasons are about the tilt of a planet - high tilt is extreme seasons, no tilt is none
What made the planet tilt? What knocked into it and how hard?
Stabilizing - or de-stabilizing the planet with moons and things
- No seasons? - Insects dominate without seasons, they don't die in the winter and it's always hot - steady stream of reproduction, not waves or seasons - may push overpopulation issue - is there something on the other side of the planet thriving? Maybe something slams into the planet and forces seasons onto it, no one is happy, everyone is scrambling to adapt - it could be a recent event threatening their population and their planet that historically didn't have much change
- Heavy seasons? Insects forced to make large migrations across the planet every time seasons shift OR they die out every season, laying their eggs and letting them hatch in spring - less dominant presence probably
