thanks!
Sigma Draconis will be the server if you ever wanna see what the system will look like.

@DarkCrimson sure

Is it okay if I use this on my server for a little solar system im making?

I just love this one. I would like to see some more variations of irregular planets, if it isn't asking too much. This just makes a great exotic moon for a main planet. Thanks for sharing it!

@Autolyzed i know this seems bland but have you tried redownloading it from scratch? I had the same issue with a different planet from a different creator (i.e. the entire planet was a sphere of flatness and had no morphology) and on his suggestion i reinstalled it and it worked without a hitch.

@Check Your Context™ It works for me... I downloaded it from the workshop, same as you, and placed it in an empty world. Proof. [i.imgur.com] Have you tried placing it an a new empty world? Can you upload your world so I can try it?

@No Skill Bluegill should be fixed. looks different now though because Keen changed the standard textures. I had none of the problems you reported, if it isn't fixed now, then it's another mod

OMG!! CUBE PLANETS!!!! Well for the ring that's so sad. It's probably messy to change so much source code to allow that. RIP Halo on Space Engineers. I hope we someday have a modAPI that will allow us to make Halos and stuff like that. Awesome planet again lol
Ludwichs  [author] 2 Mar, 2016 @ 2:28pm 
@Anubis4123 I don't think so, because it just changes the distance to the center of the sphere that is the planet. Would require some source changes I'm guessing. One thing I noticed is that if you set the hillparams extremly small, it becomes a cube...
Anubis4123 2 Mar, 2016 @ 12:01pm 
Awesome! Thanks dor the info. I was wondering, is it remotely possible to make HillParams so high/low and a specific heightmap, that it will create a planet pretty much like a hollow ring...?
Ludwichs  [author] 28 Feb, 2016 @ 4:05am 
@Anubis4123 " <HillParams Min = "-0.1" Max ="0.06"/> " With such extreme values the height map needs to be relativlely smooth. Otherwise the planet gets all spike.
Anubis4123 27 Feb, 2016 @ 8:41am 
I'm impressed as to the shape of the (proto)planet! This is the only planet in the workshop so far that has such significant features. Which is the parameter that adjust the heightmap "strength"?
Ludwichs  [author] 20 Jan, 2016 @ 3:31pm 
@Captain Spacebeard It's the just heightmap. There's an option that basicly says how heavily the features of the heightmap should be expressed.

I like how irregular this world is. Looking at the modding guides gave the impression that only spherical 'planets' were possible, which would lock out a lot of interesting possibilities. Is the shape down to the heightmap or are there actual ways to make un-spherical 'planets'?

This is great! More moons, planetoids and protoplanets!
Thanks!

You could call a moon a proto planet as well..

@Dephenistrator The description has been there from the beginning. The rocks on the surface contain all ores, but they are rather rare. Also it is playable if you mine the surrounding asteroids. :)
Dephenistrator 27 Dec, 2015 @ 12:08pm 
of course i mean that. but your new description statses it is not playable, so never mind.
Ludwichs  [author] 27 Dec, 2015 @ 7:52am 
@Dephenistrator What do you mean playable? As in has all resources?
Dephenistrator 27 Dec, 2015 @ 7:16am 
i know how to add a planet, if i added this in creative and switched to survival and landed on it with the refinery and assembler would it be playable is what i meant. i only download ones that are.
Ludwichs  [author] 26 Dec, 2015 @ 6:22am 
@Eastman51 Just google Space Engineers modding guide. It's all there.
Ludwichs  [author] 26 Dec, 2015 @ 6:21am 
@Dephenistrator It's not a world, it's just the planet. You have to spawn it in yourself. As for all the workshop items in the category "Planet".
Dephenistrator 26 Dec, 2015 @ 4:46am 
i dont mind the resource scarcity but is it survival ready? if i just had a refinery and assembler is it playable?
Eastman51 25 Dec, 2015 @ 5:52pm 
I can't figure out where to upload files, then how to get the planet files to integrate with a client's planetgenerator file
Ludwichs  [author] 24 Dec, 2015 @ 5:49pm 
@Eastman51 Why not?
Eastman51 24 Dec, 2015 @ 5:44pm 
If only I could upload my planets....
