Help: Solar system creation (2024)

It could be the type of star that you have, I don't know if you can have a pulsar as the main. I don't think i've seen one with a habitable planet.

Also where is the Wiki for custom solar system? I am apparently blind to that.

Alright, took a look at what you have, I think for a first outing you went to hard. Here is a one planet system with a moon and one asteroid as well. It has the pulsar star you wanted as well. To make more planets copy TH-001, rename, change planet type. For more habitable planets you have to pick a habitable planet type. You don't have to set what all the tiles on the planet are. They will be random if not selected I believe.

To find modifiers and other planet types look in

\Stellaris\common\planet_modifiers
\Stellaris\common\planet_classes
\Stellaris\common\buildings
\Stellaris\common\tile_blockers

Lastly here is the file. Copy it on to the end of the "prescripted" file in
\Stellaris\common\solar_system_initializers

If you are going to modify the system do it by its self in before pasting it into the master .txt

Hope this helped.

Edit: the orbit of a planet is the distance between it and the planet before it. while the rotation is where it is clockwise around the star. I set the first planet at 1 and work my way from there if I'm going for a look.

I just made a pictorial guide here: has all the info you might want:

Still can't get it to work. Do you mind looking at my file and seeing whats wrong?

For the record, I still can't get the asteroid fields and total system size to cooperate either.

Alright, I got the first T1's working right, there seems to be a problem with the T2 systems. I'm not sure why but when I activate them in the code it turns off all the neighbor systems and reverts or randoms. I think it might be that you are only allowed to have two set neighbors. I did get it to work once with 4 in a test system. But have since not be able to reproduce it,

Thank you

but I have a problem, I created my system mod according to your tutorial but my system still doesnť show up when creating new empire, donť know whats wrong

Here is your code, everything works except the two T2 systems as stated.

Thanks for your assistance again. Shame about the tier 2s, but all well. We can't be expected to know the nuances of the code less than a week after release. Again, thanks.
