    Hello, I tried to customize the galaxy (increase the amount of stars) for a test game. I edited the GalaxyConfig.ecf noticed that the maximum number of it is 20000. So I just ignored that and increased the number of stars by a whole lot. Well of course this didn't end well. I got an typical error message that you get if the game crashed by an error. Then I searched for the root cause and I found in the command log that stars couldn't be named or the choosen stars name was used for the new star that was already been used. So a question comes my head: Is this because the star name generation is very limited? And if yes, will this be overhauled in the future?

    Well how many did you set it to?

    Also did you edit the galaxy config in the scenario and then start a new game, or the one in the save game folder?

    I probably tried around 1000000 stars.
    I modified the one in the save game folder. Now I tried it again with the scenario config file and it worked!!! Thanks for the help!

    Editing the save game file is only used for testing, as it will corrupt the save game.

    Glad it worked!
