Yes. I think many people choose to write about planetary bodies because it's more relatable to them in some aspects. I find that it takes a bit less planning and thinking to envision a generic planetary surface than it is to think in 3 dimensions in a city-sized Freesphere.

There's no rule against writing about moons and there are techs in the setting that are explicitly aimed at moons as habitats such as Bluesky Worldhouses, Yggdrasil Trees, and other such things.

If you'd like to write some EG articles about moons, please feel free to do so.

That sounds great! I plan on doing so.
(On a sidenote, my new computer isn't used to all this worldbuilding vocabulary. Too many red squiggly lines everywhere. Undecided Ehehehehe.)

The technocentric methods of terraforming are the ones I think less about, true. Those I can definitely consider for small, low-grav worlds. The Yggdrasil Trees, though... They can support an amazing degree of biodiversity. Yeah.

Thank you for the warm welcome! ...I think I'll like it here.

I have some questions for tomorrow, as I have no more time today. They have to do with the magnetosphere of a gas giant and the habitability of its satellites considering a balance between its orbital period and proximity to its charged no-go 'radiation ring.'

Bye~
