How to create your own planet???

Is there a "Planet Construction Kit" anywhere?

Or a guide "how to make your own planet" ?

Because I think the planets of our solar system are
crap and being a race of creators we should be able to build
better planets.

Slartibardfast was a real planet God. Blame him.

Why should you want to build a planet? Planets, pretty much by
definition, are stuck at the bottom of deep gravity wells, and hide away
most of their resources in places extremely hard or impossible to
access. Planets, in short, are crap by their very nature, so why build
more of them?

Would you settle for your own private Idaho?

That's exactly why they're so in vogue, they've got it altogether in one
place. Go settle on a dust cloud, nothing is nearby and what you can get
is too thin, too little, too far away and any nice size morsels, a hell
of a trip to lug back home.

Some day in the future. Right now we can build space stations that orbit
the planet or a moon. In the future we will be able to build a large
space station that will orbit the sun or other star.

Nonsense -- it's useless to have it all together in one place that you
can't reach, such as a planet's core. Go get those platinum-group
metals if you think they're so handy on Earth.

NEOs, on the other hand, are extremely enriched in such materials
because they haven't differentiated. Many of them are rich in the
volatiles we need to live, too, and again, far easier to make use of
than those stuck at the bottom of a deep gravity well.

Nice strawman. Nobody's proposing mining a dust cloud.
