Re: Blowing up a star
I think one is enough, with a repair module.

Re: Blowing up a star
Nice feature is that instead of huge planet with two tiny moons you get 3 huge asteroid belts in the same sector rhat can be converted to 3 huge planets

Re: Blowing up a star
After you destroy the sun, you have to create a sun to use the asteroids. Then create planets, but include a space yard to repair the planet creator (an ordinary repair bay won't do it as of a recent patch).

What are you refering to here? I have never seen this happen before.

What patch do you mean?
In my v1.78 games an ordinary repair bay works great in repairing Stellar Manipulation Componetnts like Matter Gravity Spheres. |

Geoschmo
When destroyed by the sun explosion, a large (for example) planet with it's two tiny airless (thats what the default game always uses) moons gets converted into a large asteroid field and two tiny asteroid fields.
*Edit* A test shows I had it all wrong originally.
At least, it used to. I just did a test and blew up some stars. The asteroid fields are still have the planet names, for example Galgamis Asteroid belt III, Galgamis Asteroid Belt III A. However, the size may change. The moon may form a large or huge asteroid belt, and the original planet may be small or tiny.
I guess some of those asteroids got blown around when the sun went.
So you see how after you rebuild the system you can get a couple of large or huge gas giant moons orbiting a medium rock world. Kinda funny really.
