I think i know that the answer is already 'no', but is there a way to open up say... the huge single star random map and copy/paste the entire thing to make an identical 2nd star/planet set? I love the huge single/multi star random maps, and would like to be able to just play one of those but with an extra 100 planets or so, but it feels like it would be something that would take forever take forever...
Not exactly, but I think you if you open a random map in galaxy forge, it will generate a single instance of a random map, that you can then save into a premade map (at least in the Diplomacy version). So you would just need to add the other planets.
Otherwise, you can copy an existing random map and paste it into the "MapDesigner" folder. You can then go into the in game map designer and just increase the number of planets in the various planet groups, or add a solar system or two.
I guess if you feel confident you could also open one of the random maps in Notepad, there you can copy and paste say all the code for a solar system to add another one. Just be careful to include all the lines in a section and to update all the counts.
