Larger Asteroids/Dwarf Planets

Rarely, larger asteroids spawn, with more realistic sizes, absolutely massive (as a reason to use rovers in space)

alongside/instead of this, dwarf planets. basically the same as large asteroids, but instead of a spawn, they are prebaked into the world like other celestial bodies, such as planets and moons. Dwarf planets would be too small to have gravity, assuming the minimum is still 0.05g

Would they be inhabited by Dwarven engineers?

Well, I could see NPC space stations on larger asteroids, similar to the deep space trade stations found in SE1

After all. We aren't the first to arrive to Almagest

In the SE, the sizes of the planets are smaller than those of dwarf planets in the real Universe.

But obviously I understand what the author of the proposal had in mind - he wants spherical and irregular objects on the order of kilometers in size. Objects significantly smaller than "normal" planets, and objects significantly larger than irregularly shaped asteroids in the SE.

I would add a requirement to rule out the existence of "overshot" asteroids with huge cavities. In reality, such an object would break into pieces or collapse in on itself.
