modding question: planet sizes

[geoschmo]

Ok, reagarding Tectonic bombs, those appear to work based on the oder of the entries in the planetsize file. So if you want your new planets to be destroyable you will have to pu tthem in order form smallest to largest, which means you will get the error I talked about in the other thread with specified planet sizes. This can be corrected though by simply modifiying the system types file and I suppose the components fril for the tectonic bombms accordingly.

You cannot call for custom planet sizes specifically in SystemTypes.txt, or you will get Null Planets.

Do try and keep up Fyron. We figured out what was causing that ages ago and have quite effective workaround for it. Actually what we discovered in this thread is there are two workarounds depending on whether or not you want the custom planetsizes to be destroyable in the game.

So if I insert a planet size called "Mostly Harmless" between Small and Medium, then Medium becomes size 4 for Tectonic Bomb and Matter Gravity Sphere purposes, and Large becomes 5 and Huge becomes 6 and Ringworld becomes 7 and Sphereworld becomes 8?

Yes.
