Problem with system generation

[Phoenix-D]

Sounds like the problem I had adding new planet sizes.

What's your planetsize.txt look like?

I have the following Gas Giant atmospheres: Methane, Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide. Gas Giants are eighth in PlanetSize.txt (attached) and eighth in StellarObjectTypes.txt. Should I move it to first in or both of those? And I definitely have the footer, I just double checked that one.

Edited in: Do you think maybe SE5 is having a hick-up because there are NO oxygen type gas giants? Are the gas giants so restricted we have virtually no freedom with them? I am going to try adding oxygen and if that doesn’t work I will try moving them to the top of the list. First I am going to play some DBZ 3 and release some frustration SS4 Vegeta style.

Does Type I show up? I'm wondering if SEV is choking on the planets having 0s for their population, storage, etc..

As I mentioned earlier it is generating everything except the Type G. When I generate a quadrant I am getting Moons, Asteroids, Type 1 (one), Type 2 (two), Type V (which is zeroed out), Type T, Type ST, and Type I (which is zeroed out). The only ones I don’t get are Type G.

I maybe on to something based on what you said P-D. When I generated a quadrant this time I checked my type V and sure enough SE5 wants to let it be settled. But it shouldn’t???? Time to tinker… By the way I tried it with a population limit set for gas; didn’t work. Then I tried it with oxygen and population limit; didn’t work. Then I tried it with population limit, oxygen, and top of the Stellar Objects file; nope.

The only thing that prevents settling is not having the colonization tech for that kind of planet.

If you REALLY don't want them settled, break them out as their own Physical Type and make it impossible to get the colonization tech for that type.

Ohhhh… Adrian! Uh no I mean “Rocky”! Good idea P-D. Let me make them Rocky and change the file then see what effect that has on my Gas Giant bug. <Sigh> I need to stop with the whole humor thing…
