It's strange how a sphere world counts as a star but it doesn't count as a star. You're not allowed to create any new stars in the system if a sphere world is present, so it's as if there's a star. But if you only have a sphere world and no star in the system, you can't turn you asteroids into planets because there's no star.

One of my planets was destroyed recently but I couldn't rebuild it because I already turned the star in that system into a sphere world. I couldn't do anything about it...
I can understand the not creating a new star, since that would kinda mess up the established orbits (not that making a ring/sphereworld wouldn't ), not to mention that whole new day/night thing. Not being able to make a planet is kinda weird, though.

Imagine the process of getting a building permit to make a new planet...


RL Diegession:
I own some property in Julian (small resort town in the mountains, east of my home in San Diego). I can't sell it because I dont have the ~$3,500 for the perk tests needed...and you can't really sell it without perk testing, because the building permit depends on the results of the perk test. Nobody wants to buy a pig in a poke.

Maybe this is only in California...
