Earth at 0.6 eccentricity

My guess is that crashes in cases like this are where it’s kicking over into moist greenhouse territory because the oceans are getting close to boiling.

I recently did an ExoPlaSim run at e=0.6 for a fairly earthlike planet (though thicker atmosphere at 1.8 atm and only 94% earth insolation, and near-zero obliquity). It consistently crashes, but the last output before the crash is *really* inhospitable—like temperatures on all the large land areas of over 150°C around perihelion. Even if we managed to get life in the oceans, it seems like land areas will be pretty comprehensively sterilized!
