Do you plan in the future to add mud on a planet with water?

TL;DRSome planets already have mud textures, but slippery or deformable mud is only on the wish list, with just basic friction and possibly some slipperiness for vehicles.

We do have mud textures. We do have some mud textures already on some of the planets. I think you'll find some mud on Stanton 1 in and around the trash. But I think the question is more about will we have slippery mud and will we see deformation, footsteps. I think it ties into what you would expect to see with a more complex simulation of snow on the ground as well. Those effects of stepping into deeper stuff, that's on the wish list that we'll still have to look at. So we have mud textures, but not slippery mud that will change your physics drastically. You won't be able to create these massive mud slipstreams yet.

We don't have deformation, but I do think we can make the mud slippery for vehicles and stuff. I think that's possible. I mean, the frozen ocean will also be slippery, so I think the mud should be the same.

No, we have some basic friction, but it will not be visually very involved.
