Extended Data Fig. 1

Additional simulations with multiple seed planets, distributed between 0.5 au and either 1.5 au or 3.5 au. In each simulation all the seeds initially have the same mass (either 10\({}^{-3}\) or 10\({}^{-4}\) \({\mathrm{M}}_{\oplus}\)), but we vary this mass between simulations. Initial disk temperature at 1 au is either 200 K, 250 K or 300 K. The top row has an initial disc temperature of 200 K, middle row 250 K and bottom row 300 K. Red dots are for simulations with embryos between 0.5 au and 3.5 au, black for embryos terminating at 1.5 au. The left column has embryos with initial mass 10\({}^{-3}\) \({\mathrm{M}}_{\oplus}\), the right column with 10\({}^{-4}\) \({\mathrm{M}}_{\oplus}\). In all cases, placing embryos in the asteroid belt overshoots the mass in that region, though a truncation near 2 au may be viable to explore in future work.
