Just figured Id drop this in here. Ever since the update to starting a game locally (through the in game menu vs a dedicated server), this map does not allow me to tweak advanced settings or mods through the game. I'm currently trying to find a way to manually do so through my local files but I've had no luck thus far.

The assemblers from the Scifi ore Mod need updated the 2 scifi ore tabs block the weapons and ammo tabs with the updates everything else seems to be working fine tho just the assemblers

Hey, dull question i know but one does one get stuck into this world? I havent seen it as an option when starting a new game. What do i need to do to get this happening. Im excited to get exploring

for weapon i would look up the weapon core mod. its a great frame work and i see tons of servers useing it with custom weapon like the SGA drones and others cool things.

I have a few that aren't functional except in creative mode. I was waiting to finish them for when Keen adds more weapons to the game, since they supposedly had a few unfinished and I wanted to use whatever updates to weapon code they might include. No telling if that will ever happen though.
I was planning to give the series a full set of updates with the campaign I was making just for them, but the campaign tools still has a few broken nodes that kept me from getting it working.I'm hoping Keen keeps doing fixes so I can finish that.

anything about the weps?

I've got some updates planned for the mod series, but it's probably going to be a while. If you find any bugs, tell me and I'll fix them ASAP, but all the weather effects and stuff I want to add will take a while to do and I'm busy pumping my creative energy into other projects.

any updates man?

No other maps for the mod series right now, but I have campaign in development right now, Hopefully it'll be done in the next couple of months, if Keen fixes the bugs in the campaign tools.

Thanks for the quick reply, any chance you have another map with like 24ish planets?

It used to run smoothly during the stage of early access when it was made. I guess there were changes to how planets are handled. There's supposed to be more optimizations to how distant planets are handled in the next patch so maybe try it again when that comes out.

Just loaded into this world, but my performance is suffering pretty bad. I have a pretty badass PC so I figure there is something wrong. Only getting 19 fps on a 2080ti. Any help?

We modified Stromatolith planet and built PvP around it on Upside Down server :)

You can see it in UD trailer video

Glad to help and feel free to post your server info here if it's public. You might get more players.
If you find any bugs in the mods, please tell me as I'm planning to make a full update to the whole mod series this month. I've been meaning to do since the economy patch was added but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thanks again man. you've been a great help

In creative mode, press shift + F10 and go down the list to planets. Choose a planet, set the size (faradium only looks good at the smallest size, the rest work at any size you want), then place the planet where you want.

The procedural seed is for distribution of trees and bushes. It won't affect ore locations or planet terrain.

You might be able to do it on an active server with admin powers, but when I last tried it a few years ago it crashed the server. If you want to try in survival mode as an admin, hit alt + F10 first to enable creative tools, then you can use shift + F10 to place the planet.

okay this might be a stupid question but im having to make my own map because this one only lets me get like 15FPS, how do I add the planets with your ores into a map?

sweet. thanks for the help man

Yes, all normal planets are on there and procedural asteroids of the type from the version when it was made. You may want to open the sandbox.sbc and change voxelgeneratorversion to 4 so it has modern asteroids.

got it. last question does this map have the vanilla planets as well as asteroids?

You'll have to place them on your own map yourself. You can use this map if you want so you don't have to place them yourself, but it might be too big for some players preferences.
If you need help figuring anything out, feel free to ask.

if i subscribe to the pack and add all of them to a new world for my dedicated server, will the worlds automatically spawn in the map i have the server generate or do i have to use THIS map?

Modify how ever you want, all I ask is that you post a link to the original in your mod description.

Awesome work! ... Can I modify some of you work and use for my personal non-commercial purposes? Sure I will leave credits to you and leave links to your original work :)

ok thanks.

just thinking of what i can do to possibly make a series


as for the server info, its for private use

It should work fine. Server issues come from number of players/grids far more than number of planets.

If you do host a DS with it, feel free to post your server info here. It might attract players.

curious question but can this be ran on a DS?
