planets

Suggestion: Make planets and asteroid belts more rare. Still have some systems that are very rich, but make most systems very poor or even mostly empty, and have a spectrum in between those. Reasons: Makes extensive exploration a prerequisite to industrial activity (thus making exploration...

In my opinions, one of the things open world, sandbox space sims do badly, often, is making otherwise interesting things far too abundant to continue to be interesting, and i sincerely hope this doesnt continue to be the case for Starmade in the future. I say continue, because from day 1 i...

I've already submitted a bug report about this, but I was hoping maybe someone else knew a fix for this or if I might be doing something wrong. Whenever I try to build on a planet that is not in the trader's territory, once I leave the sector and come back the entire planet is reset, and I lose...

We know the Universe update is coming, and with it will be improvements to planets, hopefully making them larger and more complex. If planets change (especially if they become larger), then we may need better tools for manipulating their structure. I propose a new basic element called a...

Hi, Its General Minishouts here, wanted to say hello to my fellow star made adventurers. In the years following my initial login in 2014, I must say this is the most immersive game. How about we take that a bit further? A Roleplaying plan that makes the game even more juicy from the ground up...

Rails are great when you have them, but, some entities in the game you may want to land on, but don't have rails dock with. This is especially true of landing on a planet where there is gravity. The effect of gravity can cause a ship to bounce around on the surface after exiting, like the...

Hallo Starmaders I have an Idea and if you have a diffrent opinion regarding it please share!! What if we had a reason to visit planets in starmade, what if there were unknown alien creatures on planets, not all planets support life for examble a planet too far or to close to a star would not...

I really dont like the dodecahedron planets. I have a pretty weak computer so landing on them is murder for my frame rate. I almost never had this problem with the old flat planets. So I'm wondering if there is any way to play with the oldstyle planets?

I'd like to start by saying that I have been extremely impressed with the leaps and bounds this game has gone through over the course of it's development. From flying around hockey puck planets to developing full fledged factions. Truly amazing stuff! This being said, I'm having a hard time...

While I generally like the way planets look now compared to when I first played with the disc worlds, I still think they could use some updates. I've done some research on different shapes that better resemble planets and I know that there has been other posts on scaling planets similar to what...

A recent thread discussing ground Units prompted many to share images of drop ships and planetary scaled entities. My question is this: Have players crafted aircraft that lack the capability of space flight (can't escape gravity), but would otherwise fly around in the atmosphere of a planet...

A new jungle planet type adding LoD Bamboo, Ferns, and Lillypads (and ponds for them to generate on) for interior decorating and gardens. Not to forget large jungle trees! The bamboo would probably have to be two blocks, one leafless and one leafy. It can be added whenever planets get looked...

Oh no it’s another planet thread. So before anybody dives into the multiple paragraphs of text below I’ll summarise what I’m trying to accomplish here: A quick look at the current state of planets and there use. Analyse why people want planets and what the impact is. Possible scenarios for...

Hello, me again, I understand you guys are working hard on updates to make this game awesome, but I also understand that the planets are not worked on all that much as they should compared to everything else. Now me myself I do not like the new hexagonal planets, as from a distance they do not...

g'day fellow citizens of starmade (note to self never use that again)! i'm not sure if this is a bug but i felt like it was worth posting about! whats happening is more of a graphical glitch were on a planet (why am i visiting planets now with my potato laptop is a mystery) everything turns a...

Anyone play PDX's new release of Stellaris yet? The way they use "Energy Points" makes a fantastic example of successfully doing what several players here have been suggesting for a while to do with currently near-useless "Faction Points." That is; re-name them something like Resource Points...

I realize schine has their own ideas about how to proceed with planets, And im sure its been thrown out there before, but why not instance the planets? Hear me out. A big issue with instancing planets is what? not being able to mine them to oblivion, and not being able to orbitally bombard...

Im a huge diehard starwars fan. Yes, starmade involves space and whatnot! But imagine, if planets were capable of ground combat, or starting from a planet. To clarify, i did an experiment. i made the ratio size of all planets on a world set to 2,500m, little did i know it made each face of the...

so i have been thinking, and i see that a while ago people have been suggesting about terraforming (ie 2013) and today i was playing around with a tyranid-ish salvager i had made, and i found that i could only salvage the purple planets if i was to construct more tyranids (i use terrain blocks)...

This is a compilation of all the good ideas I've heard for planets. Some are possible to implement and some are not. If I missed some, let me know. Wish list: More planet types / randomly generated types Improved terrain generation (such as a biome system) Bigger planets (better optimized)...
