Simply by adding planets to it. Maybe there's some bug and you have to remove the star and make it again yourself to add planets to it. See the creating a star tutorial if you need help on that.

Is there a guide to the options available for the Life parameter block now? I'd like to know what options I have for creating life-bearing planets.
Example:
Code
Life { Class "Organic" Type "Multicellular" Biome "Marine/Terrestrial" }
Class options are "Organic" and "Exotic". Type options are "Unicellular" and "Multicellular". Biome options are "Marine", "Terrestrial", "Subglacial", and "Floaters". You can have more than one life tag per planet, so you can have separate types and classes of life in separate biomes.

Are ice caps on terra worlds supposed to be on land only? One of my planets has this and I'm wondering if it's possible to extend this to the polar oceans.

Currently cant run Space Engine so has to rely on others to test/view his creations. In the process of fixing that however!
