    Here is what I did which is working...I am not an expert so it may destroy your game and burn up your PC, don't try this at home, etc. These instructions are for people who just have the single player game. I don't know anything about servers.

    First of all, I assume we are talking about the Server Files.zip that Vexray posted. I extracted the files to a temporary folder and then moved all the folders he had under Templates to the \steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Playfields folder. I then added all his .epb files to the prefabs folder. Then I copied map.raw and map_n.raw files from \steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Playfields\Desert to each of the newly playfield folders that have planets -- its not necessary for the Space playfields, because they don't have planets. The map files are replaced with newly generated ones in your game save when you start a new game. Then after backing up your sectors.yaml file, copy the sectors.yaml file to your sectors folder ( \steamapps\common\Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\Sectors ).

    Youll need to create the new save game, then once the game has been created, copy the contents over to the save game > Templates and add the new sectors to your current sector file, For some reason starting a new game with them pre-installed isnt working, I have plans to make an easy to use auto installer, but thats down the road

    Question... for dedicated servers only: Should the files be placed in the servers Empyrion - Galactic Survival\Content\ folders... or the Save folder... or both?

    Hi Vexray,

    This looks fantastic! Thank you for sharing your creations. I've enjoyed a few of your workshop items, especially the A-30-Glasswing, I very much look forward to giving this a try as well.

    New planet released. Planet Seranis: Land of Emerald

    This planet contains rivers, streams, a large lake/small ocean, Rich jungles and large coral plains. Give it a shot and tell me what you think!

    I wonder how you got rivers and streams? I hope you didn't have to dig them by hand.

    Enjoyed taking a peek at Seranis tonight. It was really cool setting my SV down in the forest. The trees were so thick you really got the feeling of flying over a rainforest. My frame rate was a little whacked there...I will see if I can make a few adjustments to bring it up to something reasonable.

    Hi my friends and me started a server using this mod, it's also our first time playing the game. Your planets are pretty but I'm a bit confused where to find each resource since it no longer follows the vanilla resource distribution. Any chance we could get a list of your planets/moons and what minerals (and maybe even plants) are found on each?

    Fantastic job, Vexray, i'm going to enjoy trying your little new galaxy (not so little, you've created a whole new empyrion galaxy)

    Thank you!

    Planets list can be found here : https://empathy.gyazo.com/381d08b473e0e4982ed0d356fad7d275 More planets to come soon, will fill out the rest of my starmap eventually. Were currently testing it on RennTech server and our new wipe. Heres how our starmap looks as of now: https://empathy.gyazo.com/29c22ad47c3875f5e5e6381626703c1f

    Thanks for the planet list. How come your new map is symetrical?
    We were also wondering what a lot of the planets were for. All these attacking or defending planets and federation this and that. Just flavour or is there some special gameplay built into those systems? We never go there because there's no moons so no warp juice.

    Here is an alien POI I call the Xenu Officers Club. The group is called Rider.

    Oh, so the planet was intended to have all those ores? I like that answer better, LOL. (I was thinking it was a copy/paste/forget error on the spreadsheet.)
