Try putting it further from the gas giant

steeljaw354, No, I want to make the moon orbit close, but still be habitable. that is why I made the gas giant cold.

The temperature of the gas giant has little to no effect on the moon. The reason why it's scorched is because tidal forces bulge the planet making the surface hot

Ok, but is there a way on which I can decrease the heat from other sources so that tidal heating keeps it temperate?

Like I said, heat from other sources will have little effect on the temperature of the moon. What if you lowered the mass of the planet but kept the radius (make it less dense). The moon will have a slower orbit, but it should help biggrin

Ostarisk, try to put eccentricity for the moon to 0 or inferioty than your eccentricty actual or away from the planet and for the same angular size, enlarge the planet without changing the mass.

Ostarisk,
there are multiple possibilities.
First:
Apparently your moon has braking rockets.
In order to decelerate the normal orbital period of 5 1/2 hours to 19.7 days.
So you can also install a cooling system in the moon. Set the greenhouse effect to -910 °.



Or, more realistic, set the greenhouse effect:
Code
        Greenhouse      41.57532

and the eccentricity to:
Code
        Eccentricity    0.00032894



Or you take this script:

(This is only the moon.)



I have adapted the atmosphere (to somewhat Earth-like values), and I made the orbital and rotational periods a little more realistic.

I need help with making a proper Barycenter for my system and adding planets in the Zolar system which would actually be realistic. Basically I made the Earth and moon swap roles and changed the names. Zon.sc goes in stars and Tyran.sc goes in planets.

steeljaw354, Did you want to make Tyran-Mynoa barycenter or a barycenter for your star?

If you wanted to make a Tyran-Mynoa barycenter (make them binary)

you can use this code:
Code

You may overwrite your old code with this code.

or, if you wanted to make a barycenter for your star, like this:

use this code:

Just overwrite your star code with this code.

If you want to have some realistic planets, you can just export some procedural planets. (Start of the thread tells you how to do it.)

Edit: You classified Mynoa as a planet! it should be a moon.

MassSol - mass in the Sun's masses (1 Earth mass = 1.98892·1030 kg).

It is rather :
MassSol - mass in the Sun's masses (1 Sun mass = 1.98892·1030 kg).
And precise the luminosity it is in Sun's luminosity in the spoiler of the first post.

Ok. I have added other Planets, Moons, asteroids, etc and I have an issue with the barycenter. I changed the orbital period of Mynoa. After this is fixed I will add 2 asteroid belts and a few other things and the addon will be released.

You're not supposed to change the period, because it will change the position within the binary system, And the two bodies are meant to be always opposite each other, as so in any other binary system.
