No images for a better surprise,
just accelerate the time speed at x1000 and enjoy.

Wow, that's the craziest thing I've ever seen in SE surprised Funkadelic!

That is really awesome looking. Sometimes space programs and shows make me sad Earth doesn't have rings.

All I'm seeing there is darkness...... Wierd.

Edit: Oh lol, somehow got sent several gigaparsecs away.

Edit2: *facepalm* Turning procedural galaxies on.

Edit3: How far up from the planetary surface should I be? Still seeing blackness.

Edit4: Maybe its because I'm of a later generation than the disco generation, but I fail to see what's psychadelic about long periods of darkness and brief periods of sunlight. It is certainly a nice effect though.

Did you use the exact place code in its entirety? And are you using 0.9.6.2?

I copied the whole thing from the bracket to the end of the p in Place and I have 0.9.6.2 I think the time setting is 2 months too early.

Edit: It starts getting psychadelic around July. Also, maybe I was supposed to go backwards, not forwards or I somehow landed in the wrong place? OR, was I supposed to turn 3D water off?

I copied the whole thing as well and opened the F6 menu and hit paste, then hit Go to, and as soon as the terrain loaded I accelerated time to 1000x and it was exactly as advertised. Funkadelicious*

*completely absurd word I just made up

Could you screenshot and PM it to me so I know what I'm supposed to be seeing?

Maybe you just have set the time too fast? try x1000 or less.

I don't know why, but it actually sent me to an oceania. I put the stellar remnant numbers back to what they were just in case it somehow had an effect.

Edit: Strange, that apparently DID have an effect. O.o Thought it wouldn't.

Edit2: It's not QUITE the same as the one in the screenshot that HarbingerDawn showed me, its slightly different and doesn't have life. Maybe I'll do a clean reinstall.....

Good idea smile
If you edit by yourself some files I advise you to have 2 SE folder, one clean (pure) and one other for editing.

I'll still set the VH startup and dynamic detect to false as that won't affect the procedural engine anyway.

Edit: Would turning off bifurcate catalog stars be safe to change for a pure or clean folder?

Yes, but by clean folder I meant "original install", without changes, anyway that's what I do.

Cool, good to know biggrin

Also, I would post some pics to get back on topic, but I sent the whole thing into the recycle bin and purged the recycle bin :P

I find it a fun exercise to make landscape style shots in Space Engine, especially at night or with interesting lighting conditions. smile Here's a few I've taken in no particular order.
