Ancient Galaxies |
Is it possible or just plain crazy to put empty Spheres or Ringworlds
as "Planets" in a random Galaxy ...
it could be possible in an ancient setting 
Re: Ancient Galaxies
My thought was going more in the way of defining a ring- or sphereworld system .. if this works ..
its a new system defenition which places one sun and a ring or a sphere around it .. and maybe one or two asteroids in the systems outer rim .. nothing more .. no more misplacing planets
Re: Ancient Galaxies
A random sphereworld would be a great way to get everyone to focus their efforts. I know I wouldn't want anyone else to have or keep it.

Hm... Yet another thing I screwed around with while making my Asteroid mod.
The game won't spawn planet sizes that are marked as constructed only, it spawns a planet of a random size instead. The value "any", when used in determining a planet's size, will randomly spawn ALL sizes NOT marked as constructed only.
The only way around it is to manually tell the game what sizes of planets to spawn each time it generates one. to do this you need to edit the solarsystems file and change all the sizes from "any" to a specific value. This will prevent the game from generating sizes at random. This makes it so you don't need to have them as constructed only and will allow you to place them where you want them.
NOTE: I haven't really tried this. But I do know that you can specify sizes to generate, just not sizes marked as constructed only.

Hmm, a while ago there was a thread about someone who found an abandoned sphere world *early* in a PBW game. This was the thread: http://www.spaceempires5.com/en-US/node/5360.

Re: Ancient Galaxies
I never had any luck trying to seed them; SE doesn't really like seeding constructed planets, and "normal" copies of them ended up being randomly chosen anywhere there was a huge sized planet.
