| Quote Watsisname (  ) the 3-body problem
Trying to make a circular orbit with 4 isnt any easier, it just ends up looking like a flower for awhile before going completely unstable (trust me back in the day I used to make these type of systems in a gravity simulator that had a max of 4 bodies for accuracy's sake)
Living among the stars, I find my way. I grow in strength through knowledge of the space I occupy, until I become the ruler of my own interstellar empire of sorts. Though The world was made for the day, I was made for the night, and thus, the universe itself is within my destiny.

Okay, but I still wanted to say something to the 'Orbit StabilizerTM': 
This device is absolutely infallible. It is in a crystal cube of 11.24 cm edge length, that can not be opened. If the device nevertheless gets broken, it will be thrown away, and a new device will be ordered in the Galactic network!

Oh yes. The chaos is not specific to 3 bodies. It only gets worse with increasing n (and n>2). (The n-body problem).
This is a really beautiful video showing the same thing not just with particles, but galaxies.

I have created similar systems in it before but they all end up in much the same way as Watsisname's video. You can get some very stable layouts that last for decades and even centuries, but inevitably small disturbances over time cause imbalances that inevitably lead to planets being thrown from the system. If a civilization had gravity control and multiple redundant generators, which I think would be required, then I guess they could make such a layout work with constant adjustments.

| What about the 'Klemperer rosette'?
Because each planet is in the Lagrange point of another planet, this orbit should be fairly stable.
Originally I wanted to arrange my six worlds in this way.
But because so are arranged the worlds of Niven's Pierson's Puppeteers, I have put my three smaller worlds in a larger, slightly inclined orbit.
Maybe I'll change that now!

| JackDole, gonna try do the hexagonal rosette in universe sandbox.
does the barycenter need to be a star they orbit in the same orbit?

No, the planets have their orbit around their common center of mass.

| JackDole, tried to do it, but its very hard to do perfect hexagonal rosette so it always ruined :p
the 3 high mass objects i use is jupiter and i tried the 3 low mass objects to be earth or neptune. but its hard to do perfect hexagonal rosette.

| spacer,
I just saw in the video that Watsisname has posted here, that this system is also not stable. At least not with galaxies.

| Well is that a stable system in the long run for those planets? Can you give the SC file please?

Sorry, but this is wrong. These are not mutual stable Lagrange points (think L1-L3 which are like hills, not L4-L5 which are like valleys), and the configuration is extremely unstable. Even microscopic deviations from perfect symmetry will amplify exponentially with time. It is very much like the instability of a pencil on its point, or a marble on top of a needle.
Edit:

Right. It's not stable with point masses, either.

| Made the system I described in US2. The planets share very similar orbits. (It's the attachment.)

| I think a cube-shaped Earth would be interesting. Of course, a cubical planet would be impossible, but living on one would certainly be interesting.
Hello.
