Structures spawn / despawn
Do structures like Enemy Faction Stations and Encounter Debris (and other types of Random Encounters) appear at random?

If a station structure is attacked and a few blocks remain in the ground or on the ground, will
it be dismantled and replaced with another station?

If I delete all these structures, will they be replaced with others?

Better not mess with the Economy option, I mean we enable or not cause that will bug the world removing after it was enabled.

Important to know :

1 - Economy must never been enabled before pasting more planets in, we must disable Economy on creating the world for the first time, load to paste in planets and save/exit to enable Economy, after all new planets are in.

2 - The Trash removal will delete all unpowered grids very fast when the player move far away or leave the server.
-> But we can change the Trash removal settings to our liking from the Admin menu Alt+F10.

I forgot to specify :
-> there are about 90 NPC stations that will spawn in a world and the fastest way to find those is to explore all Moons, because +3 NPC stations will spawn on or around the Moon getting closer to it.

So if I destroy / delete various "Encounters", others will continue to appear, right?
Dan2D3D  [developer] Feb 9, 2022 @ 1:18pm 
Yes, new ones will spawn just by doing a Jump for example, they spawn in where we go play in space.

One more question to be sure. For example, i salvage a debree from a certain place, after a certain time another may appear in its place in the same place?
If yes, do i have to destroy everything or will the rest disappear randomly? (Same question for the structures from the planets, such as "Territory Defense Station", "Lookout Tower", "Scouting Outpost", "Observation Outpost", etc.)

Thanks for your time and i'm sorry if it took me a while to understand.

Not on planet but may happen in space, they spawn in more when we explore so change area in space.

There is one SPRT station to conquer per planet in the easy starts, the premade Star System worlds where we start at a default station on planet, those will not respawn when completely rmoved.

I pasted in Triton and Pertam after Economy was enabled. I mean I'm aware that there will be no stations on the surface. But is there any other issue to that?
I pasted them in in spectator, so if there is any station inside the planets they wouldn't have been rendered.

That "trick", have NPC stations on all planets, will work only in worlds where economy never been enabled.

We Must create a new world and go disable "Economy" on creating, so before loading for the first time, ciick the OK button in advanced settings, load that new world, paste in planet(s), save and exit to enable "Economy".

If I create a new world now, Triton and Pertam will already be in it.
The issue was that I play on an older world where these planets were not yet in the game.
But I still wanted them. So no other choice, I mean disabling Economy once it has been activated is also not good I thought.
Just wanted to know if there is another issue to it rather than stations not being present on the surface.

No, well I did not noticed anything more and I always recommend to test with copy first to be sure before messing with the original save.

How to test a world :

1 - Select your save.
2 - Click the "Save as" button on the left.
3 - Change the save name to create a *copy.
4 - Do your changes in that new created copy.

*copy :
Never test with your original save, better create a copy and fix the original save when solution found in the copy, this way you will not mess up your save.

Oh! yes there is another thing that will happen if you paste in the missing planets
=
The respawn ships will not be in to land on those new planets, so you will have to go there from the other available respwnship in the Respawn menu.

Ha, good catch, didn't even think of that. But that's also ok for me, I don't plan to respawn in these ships anyway :) (Already have full base etc.)
Thanks for your help - as always!
