... but a RW in an empty sector and a RW instead a sun works just fine for me too.

Well, i think your problem is that you try to CHANGE the atmosphere and planet type AFTER creating the RW, if you change it to the proper values while you add the RW it will work fine.

I changed it when I added the Ringworld.

Well, as i said it worked for me while i create the RW, it doesnt work if i try to change an existing RW.
If you send me the map and the locations to place a RW i will try to edit your map, i have Ancient Empire anyway.

Fryon it is a bug...

If I start a game or join a game with Ringworld or Sphere world starting points we have to let the map maker know our atmosphere type.

That way they can create the world so the race can breathe on it. If not it defaults to a huge or large planet.

Can you create the map in gold and see if it will load up in 1.49..

I've known about that bug for ever. That's why I collected the planet and atmosphere types in the first place. I'll try making one in Gold and see if it works.
