To my knowledge, there isn't a way to rotate planets. However, you can change the sun's axis of rotation to be around the equator if you want.

How to Fix Sun Angle in Save Files:
Edit Sandbox.sbc
<BaseSunDirection x="0" y="0" z="1" />
<SunDirectionNormalized x="0" y="0" z="1" />

Edit SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs
<SunAzimuth>3.14159274</SunAzimuth>
<SunElevation>0</SunElevation>

Delete SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbsB5

Quick question. How does your tool handle the planet orientation? This is an issue with the default, built-in tool where you cannot control rotation at all, and if the planet is designed with ice poles and warmer biomes, it can be a bit immersion breaking with sun rotation. Have you thought about some optional params to handle this?

i was asking if i could use the coords used to place GPS coordinates as them, not whatever you thought, oops lol

well it is placed near where i want it to be anyways so

ah i see, thanks

*diameter, not radius

Use the format: "/CSP.Titan.500000.1000000.2000000.0" to set the radius and coords exactly. Just type the X, Y, and Z values as the last 3 params.

can i add GPS coords to place a planet at?

or is that not available

Much like Ashes Vargrand I have an empty world loaded with no mods I type the command and get the verification stating planet has spawned but nothing appears, I have waited over 5 minutes in case it took some time and have even restarted several times but still no planet. What am I doing wrong and or what did you do to get it working Ashes Vargrand?

Okay never mind it just didnt want to work that day and now it works fine

I Can't get it to work at all. i've tried both creative and survival in single player and it wont spawn... Command:/CSP.EarthLike.500000.817643.516823.783133

Whats wrong with it and why wont it spawn?

hm have a green line that the planet is spawned, but nothing happens

At least some public options to do this instead of cringing admin menu) Thx)
Idk why no one still made a mod that automatically spawns planets if they are not spawned after loading save. Config could be made after initial save and manual edited, but it still would be 10000% easier to manage many planets at once :D

The engine technically can support planets that big, but a lot of things with the voxels may behave strangely. I generally wouldn't recommend making them any bigger than around 500km diameter. It isn't a hardware issue, it's an engine issue.

So I had another look on a clean world and it occurs on reloads for planets above 1,100km in diameter after any mining is done, no other mods installed. I did have my graphics set to high, though changing to low doesn't change the results.

I'm running with 32GB RAM, i7-6700K CPU and a GTX1080 graphics card so I doubt it's a hardware issue...

Hey, I like big rocks and I cannot lie, but I'm breaking the planet by mining. Once I've dug a smallish hole, 3/4 of the planet voxel disappears so I'm standing on a wedge (granted still a giant wedge). Initially I thought it was how SE renders voxel damage from a distance, but it persists if I teleport to the edge. Objects still spawn where the voxel should be (trees, rocks etc), but they float and players and grids fall through.

Have you noticed this bug before? I am playing with other mods but wanted to see if it has happened to anyone else.

I'm using planet size 500,000 (I think), will post tomorrow if I recreate it with only this mod running tomorrow.

@XXAWESOMEENGINEER88XX That limit is hard-coded in the engine. There is nothing I can do to override it.

@Jim Jam Briskin Spawning planets only works when executed on the server, so the commands only work when running locally. You'll need to construct your world locally and then move it over to DS once it's finished.

@Echthros, will and or are you able to maybe get past 8 Mm planets? like make it able to go up to 10Mm or 20Mm

no i didnt, megameter or megametre, is an actual unit idiot @palps

XXAWESOMEENGINEER88XX you made that up

Can't seem to get this to work on a dedicated server. I'll get a popup message saying whatever planet I tried to spawn was spawned, but they never are. Tried modded and vanilla planets to no difference. No errors pop up in the dedicated server console either.

1 mega meter is 1,000,000 meters for all the dumb#$$es out there

the biggest planet you can make with this mod is 8Mm aka 8Megameter

Somehow this messes up entirely planet spawn. Spawned in empty world a single ATA planet (Mercury) and it's entire surface is black unless you get to it's surface where it loads it.

the planets i generated dont have ore except rocks spawning above the surface, is that intended?

Nothing will happen to them. You can spawn more than one of the same planet. Entering that command will spawn another Pertam with radius 500km in the direction you are currently looking. You'll generally want to go into spectator mode and fly the camera over to about where you want the new planet before entering the code (if you aren't entering exact coords). If you enter it while on your current planet, it may spawn a bit closer than you'd want. Also, you can just delete any planet you spawn through the debug menu if you don't like where it is.

Hello there.
I'm a new in planet spawn. So, what is best practice?
Say, I'm load my already some time played save. With Pertam or something else. Lay on sofa on my base on the surface. And run /CSP.Pertam.500000.
What will happen with current planet? What will happen with my character, my stuff and my bases? What will happen with GPS markers and already spawned NPC wreaks?

not in this mod because Vrage 2 can't handle it, it's not build for things of that size but you can make a 1/10th

Can I make an earth the size of actual earth?

Just getting into making my own systems to play in. Thank you for this tool. Sooooooo much easier ;-)

Does this differ from worldgen in that after a save or two virtually all but a few chunks of a planet disappears or is that purely engine limitation.

All this mod does is call the normal built-in planet spawn function. The only special things are that it allows for spawning larger and more precise than the normal planet spawner.

Do the planets have more detailed information? Say you wanted a world with features or biomes from two or more worlds and wanted to create a custom planet to support both? Or a Hycean ocean super-earth? I think the devs are working on a procedural planet producer not too unlike that in No Man's Sky to tap into.

just spawn in a 1:1 scale earth and disintegrated my game

this mod makes my brain hurt its judt that good

So.., a 1:1 scale for the solar system becomes difficult because the game starts to stutter at 1,000,000 meters and a scale of 12.103.600 meters no longer works.

@Kengored The only issue with going extra large on planets is the resolution when dealing with steep cliffs and mountains. There's a much higher probability of phasing through the jagged cliff-sides.

tbh i am tempted to just clear default star system and summon one giant custom planet, add water and survive on it (maybe with high G for a bit more challenge)

thanks a lot!, I didn't really trust all the plugins after they got taken off the workshop, I build gigantic ships so it's weird seeing them out of proportion with the planets.

at last, we can make a 1:1 recreation of the solar system

Brilliant thing, thank you very much for that!

At long last...




Big planets

Yep

finally? bigger planets once more?

With how often I like to start new games and have my sole planet at origin, this is a time saver, thanks. Now if only keen would give us a way to save\load modpacks to spare me having to add and mess around with load order.

Well done.

thank you for everything you have done for this game!
