How to increase the build distance from the planet?

from Sins Forums
Hi all, Just started messing with modding. I have just increased the graity well area, but how do I increase the build area for turrets, PJI's etc? I need them to be further out, cl;oser to the phase jump points. Many thanks, SlugwormX

I think it's in the planet .entity files, gravity well maybe.

Havent looked into that much.

Nope.

Update:

But after more jiggery pokery I adjusted

nearPlacementDistOffset 0
farPlacementDistOffset 0

in the Gameply.Constants file. Viola! Obvious in hindsight...

The above sets the distance from the inner circle and the distance from the hyperspaceExitRadius, as set in each planets .entity file. So if I wanted to place defence 5000m from the hyperspace exit points, I would enter 5000 in the farPlacementDistOffset. Simple really. Took a while to find though...

Hope that helps someone...
