Re: Question about initial # of planets setting

One thing I do is go into the quadrantypes file and change the minimum distance between stars to 0. This helps the game pack more into a map.

Re: Temporal Ramblings...

My only question is: What's the point? Does it matter? A time unit is a time unit. The game is fun. No game ever made perfectly modeled reality and neither does this one. It has rules for time, as do...

Go into your Game/Data folder and open up the settings.txt file. One of the first lines should be the max systems settings. Change it to 255 and there ya go.

You'll want to get mod pack v. 1.01 from the mod section. It's generally accepted as the best. To install, simply unzip the file to your SEIV directory. Presto...your done:-)
