Turn (mod) planets around your home star into an extreme planet?

As the title says I'm wondering if it's possible to turn one of the planets around the players home star, into an extreme planet. I've tried looking in the xml's but I can't find anything related to extreme planets or planet type.

I know to edit the planetDef.xml, but I'm not sure what to change the PlanetType parameter to. Maybe this isn't possible yet or at all, but I really hope it will be at some point.

You will have to make your own planet def, and give that planet the extreme world trait that you want to give it, i have not tried this at the moment but it should work. Not planet type, planet trait.

I'm not sure how to give a planet a trait, I replaced Habitable with BarrenWorld for Mars but that causes an error and game wont launch.

D:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Galactic Civilizations III/Data/Game\PlanetDefs.xml(25,34): error:
value 'BarrenWorld' not in enumeration

Are you saying I need to make a new planet trait? If so how do I make it affect Mars for example.

From what I understand of the latest dev video, the ability to make your home planet an extreme planet will be put in game.
