Galaxy Forge questions.

from Sins Forums

Kind of a quicky, wondering if (And if applicable how) to edit certain planet settings in the Galaxy Forge, settings like what planetary bonuses a planet can spawn with, how many and/or what type of resource asteroids spawn around planets, and how to set neutral colonies.  I'm probably guessing that the resource asteroids are random and uncontrollable, but stuff like which planetary bonuses can spawn on what planets and the like would be great to know.  My galaxies tend to make things like Terran worlds rare, and I'd like to compound their value (And others) by sticking in SPECIFIC bonuses (Such as a trade icome bonus and/or population increase).  Just so there's no mistake, I mean using the default bonuses, not modding my own, like Habitable cavern system, Helium Rich atmosphere, ect.  The more specific the better, I've tried looking at IC's premade scenario maps and can't seem to replicate those results, the big drop down list with stuff only has 1 planetary bonus: Crystal miners :(

unfortunately not

and how to set neutral colonies

There might be a way to do that, using player settings and templates, but I haven't tinkered with it.  That said, you can easily create starting colonies for players.

the big drop down list with stuff only has 1 planetary bonus: Crystal miners

I've never understood why that's there and the others aren't.  I suspect there might be a way to add the others, but not in galaxy forge.  If it's possible, you'd have to modify the map by hand (ie, open it and type what you want with notepad).
