I make custom Playfields. Tell me what you would like to see and I'll make it, add it to Tinkercity server and send you a copy so you can use it yourself.
how about a smog planet. low visibility while flying and things spewing gas out of the ground. also would like green acid water that glows. Dead tree forests with ugly barren areas. Are you seeing what im looking for? just an ugly planet. Thanks!
I've got one similar to a smog planet: Lava planet covered in ash with steam vents all over the place and a very thick ash cloud (fog bank) covering everything except the mountain peaks. I can easily do the same thing for smog. Ugly planet: Like a temperate planet after global warming, I like it. Sure, I'll post both as soon as I finish making them. Probably tomorrow.
Wow. Surprised there are so few threads for playfield customization. Ah well, one is enough! -=-=- So! I opened up some "YAML" files, (never heard of such a thing, but doesn't look too bad . . .), made a back up copy of "Temperate 1" and started fiddling with numbers. So far I'm: 1. Very pleased with how easy it is to mod the game. 2. Stunned at how much better Akua looks with an extra zero behind the size numbers. 3. Impressed by how much better I like it when all mineral deposits are at least "1" deep. 4. Loving the more "dark clouds" that look like they are full of tropical rains I gave my alternate Akua 5. Wondering if the higher drone counts, higher "difficulty" etc. will actually do anything . . . Thinking I might just create a backup of my entire Playfield directory and mod every single one of them so that they are all an order of magnitude bigger . . . to start with . . . then make additional changes from there. Interested to chit chat with other tinkerers about what they are doing. I think Eleon has been way too cautious with the planet size so far; I suppose I cannot blame them on that ,but WOW! Akua is SOOOOO MUCCHH Better at size 13,000 instead of 1300. The progression of time even seems better (I suppose the sun actually transits the distance of the planet surface so even without the "day length" field changed a bigger planet will have longer cycles). Few of these variables / data types are a bit obscure. Looking forward to putting heads together with other tinkerers and getting some cool stuff going.

I don't know the extent of whats possible, but I'd like to see a planet completely covered with a dense tree canopy.
Yeah, ideally the trunks don't overlap all that much and there is enough room to walk around on the planet surface, but maybe it's darker and or foggy or something down there. Landing a ship should be problematic... hence landing platforms and structures extend above the canopy.
I've done a lot of playfield.yaml editing, albeit more geared towards Drones and Drone Base stuff, making things MUCH harder. I didn't realise the size setting actually worked though! I've wanted larger planets since like day two of getting the game but, unless I did something wrong, thought that playing around with the size parameter broke things. I'm off to edit the .yamls for planet yet unvisited in my current SP game... Scoob.
Curious what impact the planet size (and the billion of other things that go along with it) has on performance, both server side and client.
I am not ready to go there with as many players as I have in and out of our server on a regular basis. In order to do it right, you would have to increase everything else too. Resources, POI's, etc. I think you can have many varied planets, or fewer larger planets, without bogging down your server. If someone out there increased every planet by a factor of 10 and has 16 people playing, please enlighten us.
Would you? Why not just have a bigger planet with the same resources, or even fewer resources, sure, things would be sparse, but it might lend itself to a little different game-play?
If you wanted more real estate and an environment for pilots to fight over fewer resources it would be perfect I suppose. There's always meteors.
I smell what you're stepping in. I'd like to see biomes completely devoid of resources, and others rich. Atmosphere that requires massive amounts of fuel such that flying around in a space ship all day just isn't possible. In PvP, ships could do a bombing run or two on a POI, but then be forced to land, and/or head back into space to re-fuel. ... make HV's fuel efficient and heavy weapons REALLY heavy. HV's would then be more useful to explore and carry resources like fuel around.
Looking forward to seamless planets (no red zone) and larger sizes, as well as more variation as you suggest.
