Good Asteroid Count on Server?

[Dislodged]

What amount of asteroids do you recommend playing with?

[ShadedMJ]

Very subjective question. Depends on number of players and how much conflict you want them to have. Probably other variables as well.

I suggest low asteroid count and admin placing several asteroid in one central area. Players can still find ore out where their bases are, but not a lot. They will need to make ships to go after the central area asteroids and meet other players' ships. This is a popular theme.

I recommend to test all settings, load the world, hit Shift+F11 one time to see the world stats on screen and choose the one with a better game Perfo.

I use the "Empty" premade world in Experimental mode and I maxed out the asteroids.

= My PC prefer asteroids worlds without planets.

So I spawned an asteroid but with no ore indicators. How can I add ore?

[Dislodged]

I see that the procedural ones work. Just need to find some similar to mars now.

[Dan2D3D]

The ores are set by default and A lot of asteroids spawn in only with 2 ores from the Item Spawn menu Shift+F10 so I prefer to add manualy using the Voxel tools in creative mode with Voxel hand enabled from the world advanced settings.

Watch the first video, it's the same except for the tools options that are now in "K" with tool in hand :

Edit
I use MM button to change the existing Voxel for ores.

Thanks! I was just able to add Plat in a couple spots. Is there a way to have them automatically populate as well after the world has already been generated?

[Dan2D3D]

No tho I reported a lot about this, well a few times about having better asteroids in the spawn items menu with specific ores on it properly named and still nothing new about that creative side.

You may send or create a vote Feedback about this to help me having more tools to setup the ores.

I use the Sphere that I Maxed out the size to completely change the asteroid Voxel creating Premade PVP Battles for the ores, the tool is big so it's fast to add a lot in specific areas where you want to add a challenge for the players in.

Or I add one or two specific huge mines on all planets so it gives a reason to go there and I don't have to modify all the asteroids in the world.

[Dislodged]

Cool. I wanted a couple large mine deposits anyway. Do you have them hunt for the huge mines or mark it for everyone?

[Dan2D3D]

I add/create enemy towers (Drone spawners) that spawns the in-game drones or just add a antenna with broadcast at Max range on planet and smaller range on Moons.

I use the in-game enemy Drones, it is easy to add but make sure to add Uranium in the reactor so they work in survival.

I really like this!

I'm trying to spawn an enemy base/ship on that asteroid. Any models you recommend?

[Dan2D3D]

No, well I use the ones found in the Premade easy start worlds, Blueprint those with the proper Master tool enabled so > Atl+F10 and enable "Keep owner on pasting", not sure if I remember the right name of this option but that is what it does so you can paste already set to SPRT Faction.

[Dislodged]

Oh so that way there once it's pasted there are no further edits required?

[Dan2D3D]

Yes so make sure you add in creative mode cause they start spawning enemies and shooting at you right away.

Edit

untargetable + invulnerable form Atl+F10 (God mode)

After creating the asteroids and spawning a base from the workshop and setting it to Space Pirates it had the name with "(dead)" after. I went back to the surface to copy one of their bases, I'm assuming it comes from the surface occupation mod, and the location markers and bases seemed to have dissapeared in that time. Any idea how to re-enable them? Or at least a way to copy something now that they are gone?

[Dislodged]

Oh you already stated to go into an easy start world to copy. Still, any reason the surface bases would be gone? Just strange.
