Random Encounters and Planets

[Juldnärr]

can you still find the random encounter stations and ships in the planetary system or is that in asteroids only? I haven't found a single one yet and i'm in planetary...

Not on the planets or moons. But if you enable Drones and Random Encounters you will find SPRT bases in space.

SPRT ships are often few and far, you can find their civvy vessels near asteroids or planet orbits,
military vessels always seem to appear after a civilian vessel is destroyed, or is being attacked..

you can simply start a scenario in creative and cut out the first colony station and their assets...

than save, change the world settings to what ever you like... commit (INGAME) suicide and you will have any pirate bases that are on the planets.

Yes. Splitsie has a tutorial for how to copy the pirate bases into your maps that might be helpful to this discussion.

I don't want to copy and paste, I want to feel like i'm discovering them. Wasn't there supposed to be a system where you could discover ships and bass made by other players? Does that still exist and is it only in asteroid only maps?

You can have some pirates on planet with mods.
Air Traffic and Planetary Cargo Ships.

But they never attack you....
Sometimes they fly just over your base, but at 2/3 km high...

I think this is the set of mods your looking for OP, can make pirate bases randomly generate on planets :)

They still spawn in space on maps with planets. Just not on the planets themselves (at least, not without mods).

That said, however, about a year ago, I did find one of those randomly spawned derelicts crashed on the earth-type planet in my star system map. I'm guessing it spawned just close enough to be caught in the planet's gravity.

Thx ! The random planet base was exactly what I was searching for !

I hope soooooo much that KEEN will look at that mod and try to replicate in vanilla game.

With the cargo pods and animals we already have mixed with some bases spawning planets would feel so much less bland :)

I need few more things... Like :
- The ore on the planet, there are too much ore spot, and not enough ore on each spot...
I would like to see really less ore spot (I have all that I need 5km around my base) but with big amount of ore on each spot... To build some small base to mine all the ore...

- Only some ore on some planets... Or at least few amount of each ore on all planet, but some will have big quantity of only some ores... To give us a reason to go to each planet/moon...

main reason for going to "The Moon" Platinum... at last when you have disabled or drastically reduced procedual generation of Roids.

other reason to visit other planets and bodies... just because you can do it...

Yes, but the idea is to try to solve problem with ship / automatic stuff....
But actually I have to "create" problem to build something...

Going to the alien planet just to says "hello spiders" is not very interesting...
But going on this planet because it's the only one with uranium... That can be interesting...
And to thing about how to transfert those ore to other location...

Yup this mods worth investing into helps give a more realistic survival sense and discovery
