@Topher: 1) It's been a while since I played around with modding SE, and they have changed the organization of the files a bit. In the .sbc files, you will find one called VoxelMaterials_asteroids.sbc. There you will find the properties of materials spawning in asteroids, including "<SpawnsInAsteroids>". I don't know if it works, but give it a shot. 2) This isn't really the appropriate place to ask modding questions. Go to the Keen forums. Modders there will more that likely answer your questions, unless it's a repeat, in which case you will be flamed for laziness.

ok you seem like you would know how to do this. i want to spawn a solar system where iron only spawns on planets not in asteroids. the idea is that once your into space and have even the most basic station you do not have to go back down to a planet ever again. the only way i can think to fix that is to make to where iron only spawns on the planet and not in the asteroids floating around in space. i want to make it more of a trip to get iron from the planet and haul it back into space again to continue working. let me know what you think or if anyone knows how to do this let me know i would be more than willing to learn.

Sektan, you are cool.

I have some bad new the lates update broke your mod. It will CTD, and I can give you the log if you like lit me know but it has some thing to do with the display diver. I like this mod, for now it the only whay to get plants. Please lit me know.

this new materials have any usses?

I'll do

DX11 is it possible?
kind regard's

yes

Do these automatically generate in world?

So here my problem, i would liek to use some pyramids or some house or colosum from the village and place them on Mars for example, the problem is that those asteroids are too big.

Is that possible to have a bersion with separate house/colosum/pyramid without this rly big floor ?

It should allow players to place like house or momnument on mars ! possible ?

snow ore? хахахахаха

do you know how i can delete a ore from the server in total wif respawn to ?

The Dune Asteroid is just big enough to cover the maximum range of the Spherical Gravity Genberator, I manage to put one right in the center to discover that it wont do anything in th esurface :s

Can this stuff be "painted" onto existing asteroids and "sculpted" via voxel hands?

Can you add the tunnel to the middle of the planets on all of them pls?

I can fly trough the planets. is that correct?

@ the whole "magma and grass don't work in space" thing: Space isn't actually cold. http://www.geoffreylandis.com/vacuum.html provides a good ball-buster on assorted tropes and myths about space. Needless to say, magma would stay hot for a very, very long time without an atmosphere with which to remove heat. Additionally, it is very possible for organisms to survive while exposed to the elements of outer space, as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tardigrade prove quite well; with that in mind, given how grass is one of the hardiest and most commonly-found types of plant life on the entire planet, a mutated species that can survive or even thrive on solar radiation in a vacuum isn't too far-fetched.

The magma is pretty unrealistic currently, as it is completely solid, never loses heat, nothing conducts heat, and even then it shouldn't really be a good source of power compared to nuclear reactors.

This is a must have for any planetary developer.

@Crafter By that logic, snow makes just as little sense as sand since it's just loose ice. But sand makes perfect sense. Asteroids and moons are covered in a collection of dense particles as -well- as loose particles. It would not just "flote of" as even objects as small as asteroids have some gravitational pull as well as natural electromagnetic attractions. In that way snow might work as well, but the life support mod already adds ice and I think snow is just redundant.

Magma could be explained away as heated chunks remaining from a recently destroy planet for asteroids. Grass is a huge stretch in any case.

This is all mostly ignoring the fact these materials are obviously here for use on ghetto Planets/Planetoids. Unfortunately, just implementing them causes them to spawn in the seed. It would be nice if Keen made it so materials could be added in but not added to the ore generation algorithm.

crafter ur speling is raly bad it maks me want to dye pleese get good at speling

also you shuld totaly replace the gras with the texture from medieval engineers and maby make it so that the sticky outy bits on that gras work to cuz that wuld be awsome

i think snow makes more sense than magma,gras,and sand cuz if its realy sand it wuld flote of, its far to cold in space for magma and gras wuld just die

I do have to agree with Crafter, if it's possible to take like Snow and Grass out of the ore spawning on asteroids, that would be better. Magma and sand still make sense though.

yes i culd see them being prety cool for planets but the dont make sence on asteroids

This materials are need for planets.

can you make a pack with only the asteroids? cuz the materials dont seem to make sence in my minde. now i am thinking about it the culd be prety cool for making a bio domes ore something :D . but it dosnt make sence to spawn in space :(

I have an idea to make it possible, since they don't seem to be added to the procedural algorithm. It should be possible by making a cargo ship/encounter mod. Not only that, but we can add the natural gravity mod to it, could be great. I plan on testing it on my server.

But with this my 4 materials is it possible.

I don't know whether is possible random spawn asteroids from mod :) Try it, try explore world with this mod.

That's not really what I asked...I mean having them spawn in the world by default, without spawning them manually in creative. Hence "seed." I was just wondering if they did that with the inclusion of this mod or not...and if not if maybe there was a way too (which I think there could be with scripts)

Use in game SHIFT + F10 and then all asteroids with " S - "

Is there anyway to get the new asteroid types spawning in the procedural seed? I would really love to have some occasional planetoids of which have gravity automatically applied with the natural gravity mod...

Please let me know, thanks.

Does this affect client-side RAM usage much?

awesomeness

thank you, do you have plans for like a dirt material?

hey can you please tell me how i can get a copy of that magma planet? I,m trying to make a planet with a magma core with out having to use voxel hands thank you very much

@Reptavian Copper, Tin, Alloys like Aluminum... there's a lot missing that would fit in really well.

@reptavian Unobtanium

Agreed, this game really needs copper, there are other metals too but copper tops the list. Some other choices for metals to add, Niobium, Molybdenum, Aluminum, Tin, Magnetite, Lead. I could go on but lets throw it out to our fellow SE fans. So how about it folks, what other minerals are missing from this game?

Will it be possible to find them in Exploration?

do the ores spawn randomly in a new world or do you have to spawn them in ?

You should do a yellowish tint variation on the grass one and make it copper ore.
Does Sand give Silicon? Ice is nice but Magma is just hot rock..... so you have a hot rock reactor?

(off topic) nice model of the guardian using magma (doom 3). nice touch

Pretty cool but shouldnt the snow be ice considering space is too cold for snow?

thank you

This is interesting but its making no sense with all these materials can be refined into ores lol

and maybe the snow isn't white enough

I have prepared large surface for snow :)

I can not say what I'm working, because there is a person who tries to copy my ideas, badly copy :)
