    There is a button to import my current live game position into the editor... was my favorite feature of all time. It doesn't appear to be working. Also, when I "live refresh" the game world, it doesn't re-draw fog and clouds, is that possible?, sry if I missed the memo. This thing is the cats arse! I use the SSG to visually edit my planet "structure" and export the properly formatted YAML. I use your tool to add all the important details. I have Empyrion running so I can refresh the game world and instantly see in-game, the changes that I make... just wonderful. Thank you for making this, you get a Paypal account yet?

    and the ambient sound menu could use a "mute" option. If my planet doesn't have any life sounds, what would I choose?

    This is a example edit of a planet i have.
    I made lots of creatures on the planet. But me and a friend drive bike all around it but only find wormsdesert.

    I did try add more and more.. but easy to see its not working.. I cant find any!
    See photo. https://i.imgur.com/exs30WC.png

    What more do I need to do to get one planet full of bad stuff. I want it to be hard to get minerals on it.

    For the pois you want to add I think you have to assign them to group first, then assign in the .yaml the group name and the spawn probability etc.

    Oh Sorry I meant to say that my poi markers are not showing the pois are there and work fine , its just no one can see them on the map now for w/e reason the map icons stopped working on like 4 planets, all other planet map poi markers work as far as i know.

    I think the spawn time i set to some hours after the player starts the game at least for starter planets. I do not know how or where you can aleter that, so you can test it immediately after you first visit the testing planet.

    The only thing that looks a bit strange and is EPD related, but still shouldn't have this effect, is the empty:

    SpawnPOINearRange: [0, 0]

    As there is no SpawnPOINear POI defined, this line shouldn't exist in the yaml. A cleaner bug, I guess.

    Maybe try deleteing those lines manually for now and try again. Other than that i can only assume a game bug.

    Let me know if that helped.

    I'm pretty sure, there's still a max amount limit. In 7.x it was only 5 per creature type and biome, but I think they raised that in 8.x.

    But still, try 5 as amount, and see, if they spawn then.

    In 'SpawnZones' you can declare amounts of 200 or so with no problem, but in default creature setup, there's a limit as far as i know.

    The EPD say 0-300MAX. I used some hours on this playfield now.
    Anyway for me to upload it and make you can try edit it and then let me try ?

    I have some one talk about level as well. But I want the planet to be hard to stay on. whatever level you have.

    In the mean time I will try more.
