There used to be a bug where you could get planets in a nebula... that was cool, especially if your homeworld was there! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

I think that can still happen when using a loaded map and random location.

And IIRC once you create a shpereworld, the star ceases to exist http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif so then you can make a new one http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif <hr /></blockquote>No, unfortunately, if you create a sphereworld around it, you can't create more stars, because there is already one in the system. To create more stars, just destroy the one there is. However, you can't turn asteroids into planets anymore once you created a sphereworld, because there is no star, yes.

You can have up to 255 systems in a map. Go into Settings.txt in the Data folder and increase the Max Systems setting (near the top). Higher than 255 will cause an error in SE4, so don't make it higher than that.

Re: Creating stars

Wich is the limit of stellar objects in a system?
In other words: Can I create a map with 9999999999999 sphereworlds in a system?

Re: Creating stars

There is either a 255 per system limit, or an overall limit for the entire map (which is probably 256^2-1). Whatever it is, it is too large to be able to hit it practically. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: Creating stars

Too much for ceating them in the editor.
