    Adding multiple scenario's has problems that come with it.
    Usually relating to things like teleporters and there adresses being specific to playfield, so when merging scenario's you have to check every POI, every stargate and teleporter to ensure you dont break the adresses, and then theres the sector file that needs checking so you dont have any matching co-ords of planet position etc, so can be done is just complicated to get right with no errors.

    But by all means go for it if your up to it !

    Has anyone tried to add some of thees planets to the Random Gen System? I looked at the random system and I think I have about %50 understanding of it.

    *Edit:
    I just noticed there are two Yamls for playfields now. There's one just for the random generation.

    These planets or this planet set wont work correctly on 8.0 as they were made before dynamic playfields came about.

    Every single planet needs re-working through the SSG and then all of there specific details on there yamls transferred to the new generated yamls, yep alot of work if you want truely custom planets and not just the same ol same ol generated stuff.
    Bit of a shame really, because theres alot of very unique planets in this set being every planet is hand made the slow painful way, but EA is what it is and I expected this would happen at some stage.

    I am slowly working through all of these planets and converting them to 9.0 ready, Im hoping they will all be done by 9.0, but cant promise that as they take alot of time each as I can be pretty fussy.

    But for the ones Ive converted so far they have stayed unique like I made them first time round, so Im happy about that, Starter planet seeds for terrain shape are in my opinion boring, seriously lack shape, mostly rolling hills into eachother, restricted by the humidity system, so Im currently working on a different type of starter all together.

    The Lost City of Sol, the scenario all these planets were made for is dead in the water until all of these planets can be sorted and I most likely wont bring it back as Im building a new scenario now anyway.
    Thanks to all the supporters of that scenario though, much appreciated.

    If you make a tutorial video or text maybe we could help you with some of them. You know, share the load etc.

    Hi piddlefoot,

    would you be willing to share your converted (alpha 8 compatible) planets? I want to use them in my scenario, for private use. I played yourscenario before alpha 8 and would like to play on your planets in alpha 8.
