OK I am in SP and have build my base and have eventually made it to space but there are no asteroids anywhere , not sure of the setting i used - can i tweak them now so it generates asteroids ?

not sure if you can change it after you made the game but you can change the asteroid density in the world settings. If anything you can spawn them by hand with admin tools.

You can not change this setting from the game menu after the world has been created. You can only change it by hand editing the save file. This is a simple procedure.

Hit windows key + R to open the 'Run' dialog box, and type %appdata%\SpaceEngineers\Saves\ into there. This will open a windows explorer window at the folder where your Space Engineers saved games are stored. Within there will be at least one folder with the name being a long number (your Steam 64 bit identity number) and within there, a folder with the name of your saved game.

Within that folder you will see a file named Sandbox.sbc - this is the game settings, it is a plain text file. Open this in Windows Notepad, then use control-F and search for "Settings" (without the quotes).

This should bring you to a line :

<Settings xsi:type="MyObjectBuilder_SessionSettings">

Below this, enter a new line like this :

<ProceduralDensity>0.5</ProceduralDensity>

Save and exit.

That's it, when you reload, there will be asteroids. The number sets the asteroid density, it can be anything from 0 to 1, so 0.5 is a medium setting.

thats how you "enable" the asteroids in the Star System Start and any other Scenario with a 0.0 Asteroid density.

Just make sure you have a backup of your worlds sandbox.scb file.

best method to edit sbc files is by the way any xml editor, i suggest notepad+ for that.
