The Eden Project

Thats quite a number tho, if I look at curent game worlds that are not even that number in area, this is already huge enough for someone to spend days or even weeks just walking from one pole to the other. I like that.
But how would you make a planet like this then be populated with stuff… trees,plants,rocks,roads,towns and cities, vegetation and weather zones, mountains, caves, oceans, lakes, rivers… Would there be a way to somewhat procedurally generate those things? Like in minecraft. Are you planning on going down that route, or what is the aim of this project in the end?
