I know, but im getting things like this for use to explain odd things happening. If it was a rogue planet that was caught in Sirius A's gravity after Sirius B's collapse (for lack of a better word), then what would it likely be made of? Also, what sort of things would likely make up the planet?

In reality you have quite a bit of leeway http://www.johnbray....planetdesigner/

Anyways, you said Sirius B sent out tons of heavy metals, so the planet would be covered with metal and craters regardless, right?

Maybe, most of the material would have been gaseous, i think, not sure about that.

Since itll be a silver alloy that is used for immortality, then post-cataclysm humanity (thats when they discover the Einstein-Rosenberg bridge to the planet[we really need to name the planet. Since this is atlantis, we need to figure out what their language would be closest to]) would be able to expand and become immortal. Possibly. Im still thinking that through.

Hard to say, I'd go with it being close to Latin or something like that.

The link just slightly confused me... I was following (kind of) then got lost.

If it output enough gas, it could turn into a belt around it, right?

And thats what im thinking. Last line in the game would be deus ex machina. For symbolism.

That site is pretty straight forward once you get the idea of it, you can design planets around known stars and see if they would be in the life zone or not and if they would hold an atmosphere or not, I like it quite a bit.

You mean like a gas torus?

Ill mess with it a bit later.

And yes. Wouldnt it be possible for the torus to intersect the planet's orbit at certain times?

That's a little outside my pay grade, Larry Niven in his book the integral trees described a gas torus with life inside it, i always thought that would make a great game, weightless conditions and move in 3 dimensions...

Yeah. I've got the ideas all in my head, need to get the rest down.
