The planet requires a stable climate. The host is currently not in the vicinity of a nearby yellow dwarf star, also known as a "sun" on your home planet.
"Yeah, I was wondering when we were going to get to this point. My size now lets me see from thousands of miles away, but I still don't see the sun." Carter stretched his Zone Vision as far as possible, searching the vast reaches of space, but there wasn't any sign of a yellow dwarf star. "How did this planet even survive without a sun?"
[SYSTEM]
The planet the host absorbed was a barren planet. Its sun had been devoured long ago, and the planet could only survive for another hundred years.
"Devoured? By what?" Carter felt a shiver run through him, the implications unsettling.
[SYSTEM]
The host will find out in due time.
Carter frowned. "Blues Clues strikes again..." He was growing tired of the system's cryptic responses, but he knew pushing for more wouldn't get him anywhere. Instead, he shifted his focus. The absence of a sun was a serious issue, one that threatened the entire development of his planet. Without the warmth and energy a star provides, there would be no chance of life flourishing here.
He thought for a moment. "I'm guessing that means I'll need to find one, right?"
[SYSTEM]
Correct. The host may search for a suitable star within range or evolve further to create a star of your own design.
Carter's eyes widened. "Create my own sun?" The concept blew his mind. "I guess it's time to go star-hunting then."

With the host's size and developing celestial body, it is not optimal to move around freely right now. It is suggested that the host pulls stars toward him and absorbs enough energy. The cost of creating a miniature sun is 150 million celestial energy.
Carter blinked, his surprise quickly shifting into amusement. "So, let me get this straight… I'm supposed to pull stars toward me like some kind of space vacuum?" He paused, chuckling to himself. "Wait, that's a real thing, isn't it? I swear I heard that somewhere before."
[SYSTEM]
.......
Carter grinned at the system's lack of response. "No sense of humor, huh? That's fine. I guess I'll just have to start pulling in some stars and figure it out myself. Let's do this."
He stretched his gravity control, reaching far into the cosmos, sensing the distant heat signatures of nearby stars. With his newfound power, he felt the tug of the distant suns, their massive forms slowly being drawn closer. He could feel the energy contained within them, just waiting to be absorbed.
