I'm thinking of another Earth-like planet. Similar features as my other one, though the gravity could be 92% lower than Earth's, and so forth. And the temperature these days could be 16 degrees Celsius. There could be hydrogen sulfide being part of the atmosphere, but I'll stick with a lesser amount than 1%. And I need to think about the natural satellite. Is this moon with its own submoon? How many of each? Which are with some and which some and which aren't? I still desire simplicity and am embracing minimalism, so I'll go for a minimal amount.
As for continents, let's just say that I stumbled upon some proposed supercontinents that might be our world's shape at some point millions of future years following today.
Granted, I stumbled upon the Wikipedia articles for them. Personally, I don't see Aurica as plausible. I think Pangaea Proxima (excluding the split of Antarctica) and Novopangaea are. Also, there are these YouTube videos that animate the movements.
You might be wondering what it is to do with ideas for an alien biosphere. Well, there is this video I showed you a few chapters ago.
And there is the proposal for Amasia.
I just overlapped Edgar's Pangaea-like supercontinent with a map of Amasia.

I just want to make sure of the correct orientations. And then, figure out plate movement with that as step zero, though I was thinking of some ideas. I'll write them here later. And maybe it could be similar to this collab project I was part of on Discord, though I left it for personal reasons. I'm planning to stick with clades similar to yet different compared to the many alien biosphere projects. Also, I think I need a better map of Amasia. I'll probably customize the map myself, then redo the overlap process with the new drawing. Who knows? Maybe I'll stream these world-building ideas on Twitch.
Here is my chosen biosphere idea:
Star mass: 0.9706040305
Luminosity: 88.75 sol
Habitable zone: 0.898-1.294
Earth-like planet's location: 0.9 AU, or somewhere around there
I'm looking forward to a planet with a temperature being 16 degrees celsius.
Mass: 1.85% Earth mass
Density: 3.6 g
Gravity: 92% that of Earth's
Axial Tilt: 23.1(I need to do something about this.)
Now for atmospheric composition:
Nitrogen: 79.83
Oxygen: 16.5
Carbon Dioxide: 2.5
Argon: 0.57
Hydrogen Sulfide: 0.6
I might throw a smaller amount of neon than H2S to the mix unless creatures evolving bioluminescence don't need neon from the atmosphere to evolve it.
As for the moon, it is 25% more massive than ours and orbits enough Earth radii away from the planet for tides 2.5 times that of Earth's.
As for the continents, I still need to think of the tectonic movements.
