Description
WARNING: MAY CAUSE LAG BASED ON YOUR PC DUE TO NUMBER OF ASTEROIDS

NOTE: Addons in HOTSS pack will not be compatible with eachother, as they take place in different times of the Solar System

4.55 BYA: The Solar System is still forming, the disc has cooled down, and all the outer planets are almost done forming, it is currently 20 million years old..

The Sun is growing and becoming bigger and larger, currently in pre-main sequence.

The rocky planets we know today have not formed yet, currently there are three super-earths, Enyo, Bellona, and Hermes, closest to the sun that will later get destroyed by Jupiter.... and the sun. Along with dozens of protoplanets and thousands of planetesimals in the inner region of the solar system...

Jupiter and Saturn have recently formed and are cooling down, their moons are also in the formation process, forming around circumplanetary disks of planetesimals and generations of proto-moons. Currently, the galilean moons we know today are forming, along with Saturn's moons Titan, Rhea, Iapetus, Tethys, Dione, and two moons that will later collide to form Hyperion, and Chrysalis.

Protoplanets Ceres, Vesta, and Pallas orbit between Jupiter and Saturn, will soon move inward.

The Ice Giants are still young and are growing. One will soon be ejected in a few hundred million years.

One super-earth, Boreas, is a failed gas giant orbiting near Uranus heading on a crash course.

The outer solar system also contains thousands of small planetesimals/early centaurs all over the place..

The proto-Kuiper Belt contains thousands of small asteroids and comets, and dwarf planets!

Known dwarf planets, such as Pluto, Makemake, Eris, Triton, and a lot more are forming.

Pluto is soon to capture a moon as well...

That's all I have to say! This took almost 2 weeks to finish!

Part 0 will likely take place around 4.57 BYA, Part 0.5 will take place around 4.56 BYA probably,

NOTE: If i decide to make part 0, it will likely just feature the young protostar Sun, surrounded by thousands of planetesimals, and I may make part 0.5, which will feature a young Jupiter and maybe young Saturn mainly.
