I'm fiddling around with randomly generating planets for the current irtc
round and I am just looking for some input on what I have so far, there
definitely needs to be more green vegetation.

That's looking really good, Kevin.  You are going to use a different finish
for the land and water right?  Yes more green vegetation, especially some
dark green area would add to the texture.  I'd also suggest more desert too
with some a little more orange/yellow.  Ice caps?

Yeah, some more green and some icecaps. Will you also be doing some sort of
randomly generated clouds?

And how are you doing it? Mapping the texture onto a sphere? Functions?
