Maximum number of Planets?

posted on February 12th, 2010, 12:55 am

Did I miss something?  Is there a maximum number of plants / Nebula a person can have on the map?

I made a very large map with a number of plants and such and none of them are showing up.

How big was the map? Bigger than 50,000[sup]2[/sup]?

45k x 45k.

Hm, can you try taking it down to 40, or 30k and seeing if the problem still occurs? I don't know about max number of nebulae, but I've seen some maps that are almost covered with them before

Doca said he did a lot of messing with the map editor this last patch, maybe he will know  .

if they are to high, you can't see them, so that might be the problem

Hmm ... even if I can see them in the editor ?

yep, the upper and lower limits are pretty tight for planets and stars. I worked it out a while back but I'm not sure of the exact number. I think the limits lie somewhere between +/- 150 on the y-axis. You can still see them in the editor but they will not show in a game.

Aww lame!  I pulled the planets up higher and sunk some nebulae to make it look like this giant planet had a nebula ring around it ... here I thoguht I had come up with something so cool .


  Well then I guess I'll have to adjust a few things.

Aye, I tried it with Sigma Draconis to make it look as if the Wormhole in the middle is siphoning matter from the Star. I got them as close as I could but if you look closely you can see the gap .
