I can no longer offer this as a mod, as it takes up too much of my Steam cloud space for Workshop items.

This asteroid and other layered sphere asteroids of better quality can be generated in singleplayer game using my Midspace's Admin helper commands mod.

Further details on how to use the mod can be found here [github.com].

With the following example chat command:
/createroidsphere mysphere 1000 1000 1000 1 stone_01 2002

The largest I've made recently was 3km, using my admin mod script. It had some graphic issues, where a part of the sphere surface was invisible.

/createroidsphere <Name> <X> <Y> <Z> <Parts> <Material> <Diameter>

But planets are a hot topic at the moment, and I'm predicting that it's only a one or two weeks away. They are supposedly going to much bigger than 10Km.

Because this is the biggest single solid sphere i found in the entire workshop... what is the current biggest possible? you said 10k m is not.. are 9,9k m possible?

and if, how to generate such sphere?

I thank you for this and SEToolbox.
I have started doing big things with them.

@Nucleonis : A single 10,000m is impossible for the game engine currently.
And I doubt it could be done with multiple asteroids either, as the game engine is still under development to enable that very feature.

I like it, some craters would be nice though.

Hi, can you make one but with some canyons maybe, like the Sektan's Mars Race?

I have add the ability to create asteroids just like this and larger directly in game using the following mod script and the chat command "/createroidsphere".

Very cool, thanks a lot. How about uploading bigger versions to dropbox, make a fake mod pages of the sizes and just post the dropbox links in there?

is it possible to make it hollow? (like 200-ish m thick crust) if so try that to help with file size, then go for larger planet sizes, find a happy medium. see if you can hit 10,000m before keen releases planets. in doing so you might figure out how they plan to do it ("bedrock" core maybe?)

52MB is massive. Cool as hell, but massive. Makes me wonder what Keen plans on doing in they want to add planets.

If I want to add a planet this size with ore, It's going to be huge.

For the command in progress, are you going to add the ability to put a space in the center? (To place an admin planet grav generator.)

You may like this then.

The script when finished will work in game, generating the asteroid right there. I've also got it working to create parts, either 1, 2, 4 or 8 to break down the asteroid file sizes.
The larger you want to make it though, the longer it takes. A single 2700m asteroid took me 1 and half hours.

Thanks for the reply @Screaming Angels, yeah, I already tried it manually with some 50m3 voxelhand cubes and there were gaps all over the place :(

what about making a 2 part unit so it can be labeled "sphere L" and "sphere R" then it can cut the size of the file(s) (it could even be a layered sphere so it is covered in stone then as you go toward the middle you go through the ores from most common to most rare).

I haven't had much luck in writing a good algorithm for generating ore. It will also increase the file size dramatically. So even if I do it, I may not be able to upload it. Steam has a 100Mb limit on workshop items.

this size is perfect (can you convert this to make another version that is full of ore?).

@KingdomBragg : yes, but you'll have a hard time trying to place them visually in game.

Nice, is it possible to generate a sphere made of multiple separate segments for lower end machines?

cool

This one I've generated in game using the new API's. It took almost an hour.
It's more round than using the code I wrote. :( I wish I knew how they do it.

I've also tried making one 3000m, and the file size is over 100Mb. I don't think it will upload to Steam.
