SE Toolbox replacement?
Anyone heard of a replacement? to copy/paste asteroids and planets, repair game files, etc...

Yes, you can use the admin tools to paste in asteroids... but nobody seems to want to share where the asteroid file needs to be placed to show up in the list. Or how to get your favorite asteroid out of a game file without the SE toolbox.

I know SE Toolbox is prolly dead, its a shame really. but there are some things that just can;t be done without it...

I would actually prefer Keen produce an official SE ToolBox application.

I think Modder rexxar is working on a new compatible version so keep an eye on this kind Moddder :selike:

It's the only critical point I have towards Keen that this title doesn't have a utility provided by them.

The point from my perspective is there shouldn't be reliance on modders or the community for something like this.

I use it sometimes but rarely so I don't really need but you may ask the SE programmer live on Twitch or add it to the community Votes to see how it goes.

@Smokey

I just used the Portal search tool to see if one of the community Testers add it the Votes and nothing at all > 0 Feedbacks < so you would be the first to add it to the community votes.

I could add my vote to this one so tell me if you create it :selike:

But..... the other question... I have previously exported an asteroid or two... where do I place those so that they show up in he admin tools to paste in? same thing with a mod planer..

I will consider my approach towards this carefully as I have a few ideas although in an early conceptual stage towards such a tool.

I'm thinking SEToolBox 2.0 sort of thing.

I see a good few titles with their own official tools even if they are just mapping or modding and yet I dont see such a thing for SE.

I'm subscribing to this thread and will update if or when I add feedback to the portal.

Edit: I would think Keen have something they use in house that they use for world creations and alterations and not just edit raw code.

suggestions on how to add asteroids/planets that dont show up on the admin tools list into worlds? at least until a replacement is out.

Do you have a copy of the world that predates the economy version ??

You could roll back the version of SE to the one before the economy update where the SEToolBox works and make the modifications that way then update SE to the recent version and allow the game to convert it.

Depending on how adept you are with script files you could also edit the sandbox file for it.

well, i am not comfortable with either of those.. lol i might try the sandox edit thing tho. after i backup my world save.. lol

Maybe ask the SE Modders on Keen Discord cause some of them surely know how to this!
