Hi i just have a simple question: Does the number of celestial objets affect the fps in the simulation?

I mean for example i just created a galaxie ( learning a bit how it works ) and by mistake set the radius a bit bigger and it tells me in the info that my new galaxy has 80.000 Billion stars. Okey thats a lot i think. But if i increase or decrease does it have impact on the simulation?

Also does it have impact if i turn TRUE or FALSE the SolFade ???

Thanks for your time i am a noob i know.

Sry and another question: How do i know when i click on a generated star to what galaxy it belongs? I ask this because i have or planing to have several galaxies really close and would like to know how condense its the galaxy.

Size of a galaxy don't affect FPS, unless model have no glitches (too small or too large models are the case). Galaxy 3D model itself may affect performance, if you make too many sprites in it.

It affects on star generation speed, because each generated star is checked on visibility from Earth. If the galaxy is not a Milky Way satellite, this option have no sence.

The first half of the procedural name of a star is actually name of the galaxy.

Thanks for you answer!! xDD This is so sad i have to many questions. The simulator is amazing smile

Its posible to add in the wiki or in the script any description for a Galaxy-start or a planet?

And there is someway faster to travel your edit objets instead of adding one by one the location in the wiki?
