You have to edit the planet info for each planet for the amount of asteroids you want to have. That means pretty much you haver to make a mod. the mod I will be putting up tonight adds a lot of asteroids(along with a lot of other stuff). In order to do that you have to go into the game info folder and open up each planet, you will find a section that has the count of each asteroid.

so you need to download the mod tools and if you are using game version 1.03 you need to download the refrence files for that. Then extract them. Inside the reference folder you are going to find game info folder. Go into that, now there are going to be a lot of files, the ones you are looking for all start with planet (eg planetTerran) open this and select notepad to open it. Go to the lines(you should see them right away if you have the window maximized) for the resources, it should have a section for metal and then a section for crystal mines, you wanna change the min and max numbers to what ever you want. Then you have to move the whole refrence folder into your mods folder(wich will be located in the users documents inside app data, ironclad games.) then when you start the game go to options and then mods, then enable your mod. Let me know if you are confused, i am not to get at giving directions.

You need to do a search or go to downloads and get the v1.03 refrence files, those will work with v1.03, i had you get the mod tools because it comes with a neft lil how to. Also if you get andventures enough I can help you figure coding for all kinds of stuff. If you followed what I said did you move the reference to the mod folder, if so what happened when you tried to enable the mod?

The problem is the normal files that you get from the install you cant edit. Find a Mod on the forums and just download that. Just take the planet files out and edit them.
