Basic Map Editing Questions

Hey, I tried to find answers to this somewhere on the forums, but was unsuccessful. Hopefully this will work.

1. Is there any way to explicitly set exactly how many and what type of resource asteroids spawn with each planet? Does this require a mod, or can it be done with basic galaxyforge3 stuff or notebook editing?

2. What do the different owners mean? If I want to spawn a large pirate/milita force (not sure of the proper title), just as basic defenders for a planet on startup, what owners would I set it to? I've tried planetowner and noowner, but they don't seem to spawn while just using galaxyforge3. Is there special editing I need to do in the file?

Thanks for the help.

1. Can't be done with the galaxy forge. Galaxy forge only creates a .galaxy map file, the amount of resource asteroids is determined by the particular planets .entity file.

2. Well, if the owner is a player, obviously its given to that player. I don't know if I've ever used planet owner (not something I used often if I did) and no owner is used for things like planet bonuses and artifacts. To create a militia for the planet, build the units you want in the forge, save it, and open the map in notepad, find where the militia you made is on the map, and change the owner to "RandomMilitia". (Note I don't have galaxy forge 3 yet as mine still crashes on startup, but thats how you did it in the older versions)
