What about some sections in some maps where there is just asteroids to in habit, same concept?

Not exactly sure what you mean.. some maps are made with some randomness, some aren't. Are you talking about the neutral extractors to capture? If so, those are also created by the game itself, not the map file.



Nope, it's just a map layout tool. You could do that if you really wanted by changing galaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef file to include however many ships for the players to start with, and just make a 2-3 planet map to go with. No build time, no travel time.

I mean when you go to a planet on the map sometimes it's not even a planet, but just an asteroid with Crystal, and Metal asteroids around it, is that radnomly generated when you make an asteroid for a planet?

Yes, thank you.

Not to hijack the thread but...



Actually this is possible to do with Galaxy Forge. I have a map set up for me to test combat in my mod. All you need to do is create a very simple map, literaly two planets linked together)

Then Right click the first planet --> edit,

select the "Current planet" tree in the left hand column

click New Group (button in left hand corner), select the new group (by default it will be "Group:Always"),

in the middle column change the "Create these items for:" list to NewPlayer0

Use the "Add to group" button to add items from the right hand list to the group. In this case you would add 70 Tech:Frigate:LongRange

And then repeat for the second planet, except setting "Create these items for:" to NewPlayer1 and adding 40 Psi:Frigate:LongRange

Save the map.

Now when you start the map up you will have two ready made fleets ready to murder each other (once you have jumped one fleet to the other atleast)

Oh that's true, thanks Terraziel - it's been a while since I messed with GF, and forgot you could add templates through it
