Hi,

            Does anyone know if the length of the connecting phase lanes for the planets and stars in the galaxydef file?

I re-sized some planets, to make the HUGE!!!! Haha, and now the gravity wells and the phase lanes are all way too short.

Anyway, i thought i could save my HUGE planets, if i made the phase lanes longer and the wells well, you know bigger too. 

Thanks and keep Modding!!!!

I think the grav wells are modable but the phase lanes must be redone in galaxy forge

The planets grav well sizes are defined in their entity files: moveAreaRadius (bigger) and hyperspaceExitRadius (smaller). The phase lane lenght of course is specified NOWHERE. If you make the planets bigger, you have to move them further appart in GalaxyForge (in by setting the pos [ X, Y ] to bigger values in the .galaxy files).

Isn't length decided based on the distance between stars or planets?

Put them closer, the length gets shorter, put further apart, the length get longer, common sense? oh wait common sense isn't that common

Thank you for the answers, i think i found what Mooster mentions in the planet and star entity files, there is the distance between stars and planets that he mentions. I put them farther apart, but have to start it up and check, did it late and havent had a chance to check. I am hoping of course this is it. While galaxyforge is insteresting, its quicker to do it in the files themselves, if it can in fact be done that way.      I will let you know. Thank you to everyone!!! Karma for everyone, thank you for the help!!!
