Hi, I have had no chance yet to try Gleba (because I only have a MacBook right now), but I still have a question.
Is there a possibility to change the Parameters of the Star the Planet is circling? Like, for example, the Solar irradiance, the Star's luminosity and/or the Distance between the Planet and the Star?
Also, is there a way to change the axial tilt of the Planet?
I assume that those parameters would greatly affect the climate model, especially for not carbon-copies of Earth, but I also assume that implementing those parameters as changeable is a great deal of work and therefore don't want to assume it is (already) implemented. 
Have a nice day ^^ 

Hi!

Currently the climate parameters are rather rudimentary - making a realistic climate simulation with the computational budget I've allowed myself for it is already difficult enough when you limit yourself just to Earth. I do plan to eventually let the user control properties of the star to some extent but at the moment it isn't possible as I want to make sure that what we already have is good enough ^-^

Thank you for your quick answer. 
I totally get that.
I'm looking forward to trying the program as it is right now and to any updates in the future. ^^
