Would this kind of scenario be possible?

Hi all. I've been playing about with Alpha 12 for a while now and while I love the huge galaxy I'm finding that it gets very same-y very quickly. Every snow planet is the same, every lava planet is the same, etc.

I'd love to make a scenario that had a much greater variety of planets. For example, low- or high-g versions of all planet types. Low- and high- hostility versions of different planets. Planets with multiple biomes and a greater variety of biomes. Planets with more population and POIs of varying types.

It'd be great of some of these factors could even be randomized, e.g. random numbers of planets & asteroid fields in a solar system, each of those planets being a random size, with random gravity, random biomes, random POIs and faction presence, even random wildlife.

Is such a thing possible in E:GS at the moment? I've not done much more than peek at the structure of the game and have done some simple experimenting with configs, etc. I've got a lot to learn but I'd really like to know if my goal is even vaguely realistic before I dive in fully.

Many thanks for any info

 

Yes absolutely possible! You have almost full control over the galaxy generation.

 

Awesome, thanks I'll start trying to work out how it all works then, plenty of tutorials to peruse. I may be gone for some time....
