Can you add a custom description to space_dynamic.yaml?

    I'm making a randomized scenario and I've been able to add custom descriptions for planets but trying to add a description to space_dynamic.yaml for orbits, asteroid fields, etc, just gives an error message in the SSG.

    Before I assume that it's not possible to use custom descriptions for randomly generated space playfields, figured I'd ask here!

    Thanks.

    EDIT: This is now possible in Alpha 10, in case anyone searches for this old post.

    If is the same description for the template, like planet, maybe you need to write in space_static.yaml.
    But if you put in space_dynamic.yaml like you want, I don’t know if is possible but do you put in list format (
    Code:
    Description: ["Beautiful space","Asteroid field"]
    ) ?
    Otherwise I haven’t idea.

    That should be possible.

    Somehow I've noticed it requires quotation marks around your description or you get an error assembling it at startup.

    Description: "Your information"

    Check if it's right with dynamic or static yaml. I program Yaml files for multiplayer and I just use a plain playfield.yaml

    I'll try it out. I've got descriptions for planets but I have a feeling the random generator automatically generates the descriptions for space playfields so it's not possible to set a custom one.
