It really loves crashing when generating stars for new galaxies.

So what could cause it to CTD on startup? Not enough memory?

Found a new system, a white dwarf at the edge of M31 with an Earth like planet.DOES NOT COMPUTE.
Crashes on start-up for me. Looks cool, though.

Out of curiosity what's your system specs?
Important note: Never, EVER disable, then enable stars in a Galaxy...Why, did it crash you or did it kill all your procedural stars?
That's my punishment for button mashing
Any idea on how I could make skyboxes from this? I don't think there are the right controlls to take screenshots separated by perfect 90*.
Pretty sure there's software out there that can stitch images together into one seamless image, even if they aren't perfectly aligned. In fact, for something like that I think you'd want some overlap.

Try Hugin, should be able to do the job.
Though it isn't out yet, SpaceEngineer has gotten a skybox and planet texture exporter working. (pic taken from SE forum)
I found a black hole by chance not too long ago. Looks like a regular star from a distance.
Where at, just randomly hanging out in the galactic disk, or was it in the center of a cluster or something?I don't remember exactly where it was, but I remember *what* it was: "RSC-8404-4028-0-0-0", the core of a globular cluster, apparently.
@Achilleas.k: Weird, I wonder if procedural planets aren't the same on different machines? (I have no idea.)The procedures might not be random. I was able to locate the star system in question.
Hm... perhaps the name of a system/feature represents some kind of random seed? It is a lengthy code after all.
Well I typed in the code exactly, found the system as seen in the screenshots, but found no life-planets. Perhaps I didn't look close enough. I'll check again!Make sure you're checking the correct star- one of the pair only has some gas planets.
I want this as a promotional video, promoting more funding for space exploration. My God, what I wouldn't do to be able to stand there in person on such a world, and see it with my own eyes...
I've found one that was pretty darn close a few hours ago - 290K (is that a mean surface temperature?), about 1.1 Earth masses:0.98 Earth radii, something like 1.15g surface gravity. Distance from the star was quite a bit more than 1 AU; it was a newer and larger star than Sol.
The thing that I'd be most curious about is if Earth-like climate and weather patterns would exist, even if the planet is eerily similar. Having the same mean temperature doesn't really mean much. This particular planet didn't have a tilted axis of rotation, so no seasons. And even with a similar mass and density, it would be possible to have different crust material - more rigid crust material would cause some gnarly planetquakes. Would it have Hadley cells and a similarly stratified atmosphere? Thinking about all these details makes one realize how special Earth really is. A change in even the tiniest of details could have resulted in a very different planet.
You can in version 0.95. I presume you still can in the new version but there is no guide for it yet.

Speaking of which, green atmospheres? GREEN ATMOSPHERES! :pimp:
