| I've created the Earth after the Theia's collision. The entire planet is full of lava. Here's the addon. Put the file with the cluster in the folder addon/catalogs/clusters, the Earth BC and the Sun in addon/catalogs/planets and the file with the Sun's BC in the addon/catalogs/stars. Copy the data that are under in a new file and put it in addon/catalogs/planets.

| I have a few issues with my System I am making. 1) I want Vault to be sort of Pinkish Purple, no clue how to do that. 2) Can someone tell me if the system is stable or not? 3) Other errors, like Vault would take seconds to go around Kali, but it's orbital period is 20 days or so. 4) I need Minor moons, but I don't want to go through the trouble making them 1 by 1. So I need a script or something that makes them for me. Or just make another sc file for the minor moons.
Zoonsys.sc and Moons.sc goes in planets Agg.sc goes in stars.

| steeljaw354, as I mentioned elsewhere, my computer is currently not fully functional. I can therefore only test scripts with older SE versions. Which of course does not always work.
You have some syntax errors. At Planet 'Onas' and Planet 'Vulkan': 'Tidalocked' must be 'TidalLocked'.
At Planet 'Deid': 'Iceworld' must be 'IceWorld'. Make sure you are case-sensitive!
At DwarfMoon 'Areas': 'Radus' must be 'Radius'.
Quote steeljaw354 (  ) 3) Other errors, like Vault would take seconds to go around Kali, but it's orbital period is 20 days or so. The problem is 'ArgOfPeriPreces'. The value is much too low. I am not an astronomer, so I can not describe it correctly, but the value describes the change of the orbital plane in years. See here for more info: Apsidal precession
I have disabled it in the script.
Pinkish moon.

The image is from Space Engine 0.971. In SE 0.980 it will look different.
The script is a simplified version without 'Surface' tag. If you want a modified surface, you have to adjust it in the editor.
The important parameter is 'Color (1.0 0.078 0.365)'. This determines the main color of a planetary body. Of course the colors can also be manipulated in the 'Surface' tag.
Code // PinkVault.sc
Moon "Vault" { ParentBody "Kali" Class "Selena"
Mass 0.01 Radius 1633.92 InertiaMoment 0.376575
Obliquity 0.01 EqAscendNode 48.3317 TidalLocked true
AlbedoBond 0.3 AlbedoGeom 0.36 Brightness 3.5 Color (1.0 0.078 0.365) Orbit { RefPlane "Equator" SemiMajorAxis 0.00216335 Eccentricity 0 Inclination 0.01 AscendingNode 48.3317 ArgOfPericenter 29.1243 MeanAnomaly 174.795 //ArgOfPeriPreces 1.30368e-009 } }

| Ok, I seriously need help with this. I didn't even have any folders in the addons directory, so I had to create a catalogs folder. From there, I created the planets folder and went into it to create a text document that I renamed to "MySystem.sc. I then went into it, and started looking through mods on the forum. When I found a mod that i liked, I copied and pasted the script into "MySystem.sc." I then went to play the game, but there was nothing from the mod appearing when searched for the planet name, it wasn't there. I've tried everything, even creating my own planet using the same steps that you showed here, but I've had no luck.

| TheSpaceLeviathan, apart from a script in the 'addons\catalogs\planets' folder, you usually also need a script in the 'addons\catalogs\stars' folder.
In the 'stars' folder, belongs the script for the 'Star' of the system, if it is a single-star script. If it is a system with more than one sun, then belongs the script for the 'StarBarycenter' in this folder.
In the 'planets' folder belongs the scripts for planets, moons, asteroids, and so on. In a multiple sun system, the different suns also belong in this directory!
With a new installation of Space Engine, there are no subfolders in the 'addons' directory. They must be created if necessary.

| TheSpaceLeviathan, Have you made sure that the sc file is in addons/catalogs/planets? Also, do you have a star for your system?
When making a planet, you cannot make your custom planets orbit a generated star (Stars with names like RS 0-11-33344-744).

| JackDole, Thanks, the errors are now fixed and we have a nice pink moon around Kali.

| JackDole, I'm curious, how were you able to make some of your planets partially transparent?
Specs: Dell Inspiron 5547 (Laptop); 8 gigabytes of RAM; Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4210U CPU @ 1.70GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.4GHz; Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit; Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 4400 (That's all there is :( )

| PlutonianEmpire, do you mean something like this?

These are textures, which I have made transparent with Photoshop.
I have tried to make procedural planets transparent, but this does not work well.

| JackDole, I just now tried to put a star in my script in the star folder, and then i went into my planet script in the planets folder and told the planet to revolve around the star I chose, which was Chara. My planet still did not show up in the game even after not changing anything about the planet other than the star it was orbiting (changed that to "Chara").
Ostarisk, I made my planet orbit Chara and I double checked that my sc file was in addone/catalogs/planets. However it still did not work.
