| Quote (LiNGeN) I have found a triple star system consisting of two orange dwarf stars and a brown dwarf star. Here is the location: RS 0-9-117440512-829-5-8-5696538-0 According to the initial system description, it has 11 planets total:
This system has 11 planets - 3 orbiting brown dwarf, 2 orbiting a binary orange dwarf, and 6 outer planets orbiting an entire system. But orange dwarfs have the wrong planets counter, let's says they have 15 planets each. This is a bug, I'll try fix it.
EDIT: bug fixed

| Welcome to the forum Metal, there is a thread for general questions already right here.
Any questions about use of the engine and licensing will need to be asked to Vladimir Romanyuk (SpaceEngineer) directly. As for landing and walking on a planet, yes it is planned eventually. Please look at the To-do list in the Development Status subforum.

No, you can't for now. Engine is still in development, and it requires many years to become a complete game SDK. After this, anyone can purchase license for creating his own game.

This is possible right now, in current version.

I think he means that it is possible to land the camera on planet surface and fly slowly aka ''walk'' but at 10m height fro the ground - SE currently can't support landing at zero altitude. I don't think we will see a 3D human figure with the ability to control it like in a 3rd person game mode

Correct. The ability to have actual realistic EVAs on a planet will probably not exist until near v1.0 I should think, there is a lot of work that needs to be done for that, including a complete overhaul of the landscape engine if I'm not mistaken. Also, things like procedural vegetation/rocks, 3D water, 3D clouds, etc. should be implemented before any sort of detailed surface exploration is introduced.

| Hello, I just use spaceengine as a hobby for a few weeks now. I've been on the forums a lot of times now, and saw a lot of pictures of planets which were different. My question is how can I install those textures? Because I dont want to create them myself. I clearly cant create them myself because I tried to create textures on games aswell, which were a epic fail.
So if there is any mod for new textures, let me know
Regards

| Textures for planets are only used for some object of the solar system (Earth, Mars, Jupiter etc..) you can download them in the Official Addons thread
For all other world, you won't need any textures, planets are procedurally generated.

Well thats not the problem. I just saw a few planet pictures which were completely different to eachother. I've got a good example:
(This picture was made by Solaris. I found it somewhere on the forums)

| That is a procedural planet, it is generated by the program and requires no textures. Just fly to any star besides Sol to find some. If you have trouble getting them to render properly, report it in the Troubleshooting thread.

| Will new versions use allocated video RAM or support directx9?

| Enki, there is no reason to create a new thread for one small question.
Quote (Enki) Will new versions use allocated video RAM or support directx9?
SE already uses all of the VRAM you have available. As for DirectX, SpaceEngine is OpenGL and that is not planned to change ever. Is there any reason that SE should add rendering support for DirectX?
