Edited planet info not saving?

[jimgalaxy34]

Just noticed something. When I discover an interesting planet, and name it ... the edited name / info seems to hold only as long as I have the game session open. When I close the game, and re-open it ... the planet name reverts to the RS #, and the Info is blank. Can someone confirm they're seeing the same, or am I missing a 'save to database' option somewhere? (If it doesn't save ... then what's the point)?

OK, I'm really getting frustrated with this one.

Use case: I'm a searcher. I'm looking for specific criteria: another fully habitable planet. I've come very, very close (so2 is usually a bit high for comfort). I comb through (quite literally) hundreds of thousands of systems per game-hour.

The problem is: when I edit randomly simulated planets (name, specific info about their characteristics, so I know at a glance when I've *been* there before) ... the information DOES NOT SAVE to the game database. It's fine as long as I'm in a single game session. But after exiting, and re-loading the game ... all of my edits are simply gone. 'Export' seems to save my edited objects, but the game crashes when trying to re-'import' them.

Is there a setting I'm missing, or am I simply wasting my time editing planets at all?

You can't save changes because original planets and stars can't change with in-game editor adn without it. You can create your own star system. Export the whole star system you like and create mod with this export's files, but you need change coordinates. In this text file you can change planet/star as you wish (editor in game help you pick the right numbers, but editor don't save changes, you must add numbers in file manually). There is faq for modding on ofiicial site. http://spaceengine.org/manual/making-addons/creating-a-star/

Disagree. There's a bug report in another thread, and the dev said he'd add it to the list. Saving edits through the UI *worked* in version .980, and the fact it's not working in .990 is a bug. But thank you.
