Also if you want the planet to appear in random maps, you need to put it in one of the random families of PlanetTypes (Random, RandomTrue) etc., wherever it would be appropriate.

thanks this helps a lot now i can add in all those new worlds

myfist0, are you going to finish your tutorial on adding planets?  I am new to the modding scene but basically waiting on your tutorial to finish my first mod.   Any chance (once complete), you could post a simple, 1 planet mod, that we could download?  I am running the most recent Entrenchment version.

I'd be happy to help with it if other people can edit it (unless you'd like it to be a one man deal), especially after the modding wiki apparently got taken down. Otherwise Ken is there anything that is giving you issues that you could ask here?

Well, at this point I have only made 1 mod and all it did was increase the number of metal and crystal asteroids to 12 each on terran planets.  Not exactly brain surgery, but it was something simple I could figure out on my own. 

I have the Star Trek: Sacrifice of Angels 2 mod that I really enjoy, but would like to create my own mod that basically adds more resources and planets into the game (I kinda suck so I need the edge).  Anyway, I haven't actually tried to create a planet mod other than what myfist0 has already written.  Once he completes the planet tutorial, I'll let you know if I am successful or if I have any problems.

Thanks for the reminder 

Real busy trying to get the UI and soundtrack done for the Dip release of Star Trek SoA2. When that's done I will get on it unless someone else wants to jump on it and I will post it on the weebly.
