So in one of my WIPs, one of the machine factions end up creating a neptune-sized planet made of metal.
I know how insane a metal planet sounds, especially at those sizes.
Is there anything wrong with the gravity implications or construction implications that such a planet would have on itself? If so, then how can I correct them.
Since I only recently created the WIP in question, I can change the planet as necessary.
Any feedback is appreciated.
no feedback but metal planet sounds cool

Thanks for the compliment! So far, I’ve made the metal planet resemble a biblically accurate Ophanim (angel made of rings and eyes) to both make it more believable in its size and because it looks cool. The metal planet can also move if necessary (IE Warworld from DC comics or Beast Planet from Shadow Raiders).
On that thought, how much fuel would a planet like that need to sustain itself? Might factor into the plot.

A Neptune-sized metal planet would face extreme challenges due to its immense mass and density, resulting in incredibly high gravity that could crush most known materials, even advanced alloys. The heat generated from gravitational compression alone might keep the planet's core molten or even cause it to collapse into a dense object like a white dwarf if the mass is high enough. To make this concept more feasible, you could consider the planet being hollow or made of lighter, exotic materials with metallic properties, reducing overall mass while maintaining the metallic appearance.And speaking of projects, if you’re into customizing, you might enjoy games website Alternatively, advanced technology from the machine faction could use artificial gravity manipulation or structural reinforcement to counteract these natural forces.
