Why don't you just edit the exported system and remove the asteriods and the comets?

In the future, can we get better nebulas like this?



It's composed of layers of photos of the actual IC1396


Wow blink ! It sure looks fantastic! You can get similar quality in SE097 if you disable nebula's and galaxy's skynoxes and FB's from the graphics menu (ctrl+F4) but it will make your GPU Fan sound like a jet engine biggrin and it will also reduce the frame rates to half (or even less) of what you had before wink . But it is worth it if you want to take screenshots! :

But I am curious: How did they manage to get multiple pictures of this nebula from different angles? A single degree is light years apart! And our solar system needs to travel for millions of years for the nebula to look different surprised

They didn't, they just took different bits of the photo and assigned them to different layers and created a fake paralax. It's something similar to converting a 2D video to 3D. At least that's the rough idea. So basically the 3D information in the image is totally fake, it's just for artistic purposes.

Oceanias are the color of their ocean, which looks either blue, red, or green, and the color of their atmosphere, which is typically blue.

Also Conquesti, this question really did not need to have its own thread.

Does the system diameter in the star info show the radius of the heliopause, or the orbit of the farthest planet?




Jupiter is Awesome!

Quoted from here:

Planets with life are not generated in single-star systems

Quote (HarbingerDawn)
Green items have been fixed for the next release


Does this mean this bug will be fixed in SE ver 0.98 or in a patch for SE 0.97?
The reason I am asking is because of the challenge I want to start about the quest for earth's twin i.e. the search for procedural terras with ESI's as close as possible to earth's. I think it is better to hold this challenge for the time being because of the above bug and because a future patch for 097 may change the procedural seed of the universe wink .

Obviously I am not implying for a SE 0.98 release wink

It will be fixed in whatever the next release is, which will most likely be a 0.9.7.1 patch.

How do you calculate ESI ? How can the Earth have its own similarity index as 0.998 ?

Because ESI is based on an average, and Earth's orbit is not perfectly circular. So its temperature fluctuates slightly from the average over the course of the year.
