Geological Features
Surface
The surface of Gallifrey is mostly composed of stone, dirt, grass, snow, sand and sandstone as seen in its unique biomes. Large lakes can be occasionally observed in the Redland and Wasteland biomes, some of a putrid brown colour and others frozen over.
The grasslands of Gallifrey are the mostly striking features of the planet, with deep maroon-stained grass contrasted with trees whose leaves shine silver under the binary stars.
One rare sight are abandoned barns. It is rumoured that one of the barns was the location where the fate of a great Time War was decided.

Trivia
- Gallifrey’s known existence in the mod began in version 0.0.9B, where a bug with the skybox was present in the Overworld, giving the daytime skybox a distinct orange tint.
- An alternative skybox was present in a development version of Gallifrey, where the sky is composed of a dog wearing a transparent raincoat. This is a joke feature that was not implemented in the final version of the planet.
