sorry about cap CAN I MAKE A PLANT WHERE ONLY A NARROW AREAR AROUND THE PLANET HAS WATER PLANTS AND ORE AND THE OUTER SIDES ONLY HAVE STONE SO MORE ORE LESS A VALLY WITH EVERYTHING AND SHARP CLIFF ON BOTH SIDES THATS ONLY ROCK sorry about cap

I set my Height map using your settings and it appears that initial map is a white square instead of a block square.

Is there any way to take a planet out of a world file? Just wanted the planet on it and could not figure out how.

Other games: simple map editor that even a child will understand Space Engineers: *Boss music starts playin*

@9:56 : "Each voxel material needs to have a separate ID assigned to it, and then when this is edited in this map and loaded, that material will be put in that location." How do I know what ID I should assign? Can I just say: "40 is for desert or 60 is for forests"? And what color(s) do I use when I paint them in the red-channel of the MAT-Map? Where is the reference, that Space Engineer know that a certain color on the map is a certain ID in the .sbc-file?

Keen's official guide is no longer available. You now have the best detailed video guides on making custom planets, thank you!

hi got no idea if you still check the comments here but worth a shot... im editing the Pertam.sbc as my template for planet mods do you have any idea what this parameter is supposed to do <Difficulty>DifficultyHard</Difficulty> it`s placed right after <Id> <TypeId>PlanetGeneratorDefinition</TypeId> <SubtypeId>Pertam</SubtypeId> </Id> and above <PlanetMaps Material="true" Ores="true" Biome="true" Occlusion="true"/> i`ll probably just leave it at default regardless but would be nice to know what it`s supposed to do.

thank you for help 🗿

I've not had any luck getting Trees to stick to a certain slope. If I change the minimum slope to anything but 0 none will spawn at all. Maximum doesn't seem to affect anything at all.

Did you do something special between video 2 and 4 to get the harsh and jagged lit planet surface to smoothly transition once you got into view or was that just playing with the fog settings?

i wish i understood this better. ive been trying to create my own planet for ages now. just out of interest, is it possible for you to assist or take a request for this planet since i cant seem to figure it out? I've already partially created heightmaps but due to my lack of software i have no way to make them look better or blend better (I've at least tried them out on the in game tutorial/example mod planet by replacing the files to some degree of success (ignoring where the maps join of course)) but aside from that ive had no other success in implementing it into its own separate celestial body, specifically because i think ive overcomplicated things in that i wanted to do moon style ore gen and full custom height and biome mapping. UPDATE: i am now on the SE discord and have made a couple posts about it recently in the Modding-Programing chat for SE PC, still struggling tho

No matter what I do, my voxel textures are not black under the sun, they are always too bright. I try to make them lava black, but they just dont want to be that. Are the sun reflections tweakable?

For SE's actual Version in 2021, does that still work?

Can u set no default material so in that layer between 20 and 30 it would be open space?

Google needs to step up its game, I've been trying to find a guide for this stuff for years..

So if just wanted to make just ore planets where the entire planet is just 1 type of ore I would just change the stone and soil values to a specific ore type right?

Can you make a planet a different custom shape other than spheroid?

Can you stick the voxel in a planet folder?

I am using GIMP and some dds files can be opened whereas others cannot. Ie i managed to open and modify a file for grass but the dds files for voxel cm seem to be different and cannot be opened with the gimp dds plugin - they also show no image on the file icon

@Doctor Octoganapus Hi, I appreciate the time you put into making this guide series, it's very informative. I was just hoping you could explain how I would manage to get the PlanetTutorial.sbc to pull the models and textures it requires. So far I have it set up like this: Vanilla folders/files pathing - C:\Users\stone\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\Tutorial Planet\Data\Models\Environment\Sky/Vanilla files C:\Users\stone\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\Tutorial Planet\Data\Textures\Models\Environment\Sky/Vanilla files I've tried using the full path as above and also the default short pathing as below <CloudLayers> <CloudLayer> <!-- Far layer --> <Model>C:\Users\stone\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\Tutorial Planet\Data\Models\Environment\Sky/CloudSphere.mwm</Model> <Textures> <Texture>C:\Users\stone\AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Mods\Tutorial Planet\Data\Textures\Models\Environment\Sky/EarthFarClouds.dds</Texture> </Textures> It seems like it should be really easy to figure out though I've hit a wall. I'd be more than appreciative if you could explain what I need to do like I'm a 5 year old. I realize I'm not the only one who has asked about this, so I hope I'm not beating a dead horse. Nor do I expect you to make a video or anything but I'd be more than thankful if you could help me out with this. If I figure it out before you reply I'll let you know. And I'll also share what I did to fix it, for anyone else that may need an answer. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for all the tutorials. Small tip: could you record the videos a bit louder. I usually use 20% of my audio for general youtube videos but need 60-70% to listen to your videos.

@Doctor Octoganapus, Thank you for these amazing tutorials. Could you also create tutorials on how to create rings, gas giants, custom clouds, trees and textures like you did in your mod 'Paradise'? steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1669459989

I've copy pasted the clouds definition code just like you did and even spawned in a new version of the planet but no clouds appeared at all. Do you know how I can fix this?

If you remove the mod, will the planet disappear or not because it is made of vanilla features?

To confirm: I've tried negative gravity and it simply sets it to zero 0 and also messes up how the jetpack works

It worked fine with one texture but as soon as I added two it kinda broke, if I add a new texture for the voxel it WILL use the one of the other voxel, I think it was because of a wrong path so to make sure I delete the files in the new one and nope, completely pink texture, I add the textures again and it uses the ones from the other voxel again, so I decide to take a texture from the mod "teralis" just to test something, paste it there and again it uses the texture of the other voxel on the other file, I basically can only use a single texture right now and I do not understand why it does this, the file paths are all set to the new voxel folder but it still uses the other one.

What is a height map?

How would you add a custom sky box for your worlds?

Hey Doctor^^ Thanks for the great videos and Planets on Steam^^ I'm really bad at coding but this doesn't look too difficult Might give it a try XD

My planet is completely flat and I have made sure everything is in the correct files, im using your hight maps as well so do I need to greyscale them?

I do love your planet mods, but as you are limited for time, could you perhaps give me an idea how to fix the windmills saying optimal but not turning on icarus?

How did you get the template "PlanetTutorial.sbc"? is there a other way to get the template? ore is this self made?

can you make a star,like sun... but to emite energy??? them to use some sort of power receiver to convert????

15:15 Oh man... Phew. It's gettin' steamy in here!

Alright I came across a problem that it looks like a lot of people had, where the planet would just become flat with any texturing but I looked into how the files were placed and that was the issue. the folder PlanetDataFiles should be placed inside the data file not outside if you don't do this the texturing wont work so you will get a smooth planet.

Great tutorial thanks!

I am trying to make a gas giant, which is almost entirely atmosphere. Is there a way to make the atmosphere more opaque, so that the sun doesn't shine through the entire planet? I can set the sun size to 0, but this doesn't entirely solve the problem.

Is this tutorial still functional after the last upgrade? What about the modding of super sized planets? Does still required an older (DX9) version of the game to create?

This has been added since you first made the tutorials: <MesherPostprocessing xsi:type="MyObjectBuilder_VoxelMesherComponentDefinition"> <PostprocessingSteps> <Step xsi:type="MyObjectBuilder_VoxelPostprocessingDecimate" ForPhysics="true"> <LodSettings> <Settings FromLod="0"> <FeatureAngle>15</FeatureAngle> <EdgeThreshold>.04</EdgeThreshold> <PlaneThreshold>.02</PlaneThreshold> </Settings> <Settings FromLod="1"> <FeatureAngle>15</FeatureAngle> <EdgeThreshold>.04</EdgeThreshold> <PlaneThreshold>.04</PlaneThreshold> </Settings> <Settings FromLod="2"> <FeatureAngle>15</FeatureAngle> <EdgeThreshold>.06</EdgeThreshold> <PlaneThreshold>.06</PlaneThreshold> </Settings> </LodSettings> </Step> </PostprocessingSteps> </MesherPostprocessing> I'm assuming this is all voxel LOD used on planets. However, I'm not sure what these values correspond to.

I've made my own planets, but how do I upload them to steam??

great vids. really helped. I would like to have tunnels and cave preset onto a planet is this doable?

I just want to modify existing planets, lowering the density of some ores, or even deleting some others (for example uranium or platinum in starting planet). might you give me a hint to where start looking that in your videos? Ty!!

I ran into a problem. I drew custom Heightmaps for the planet but the surface is still super smooth. I can link pictures of the heightmaps if you want, but I'm just confused on why this is happening.

Включите пожалуйста субтитры. Please include subtitles. very good lessons on creating planets

my planet looks like just a stone planet right now, please help

Hey Doctor, do you mind if I put the links of your video's in my planet description?

Any specific way of copying it? For some reason this doesn't work, I just copied it, pasted and nothing of it worked, no error, but also no clouds. I have restarted and placed a new planet. One thing to note tho is that everytime I copy something I have to put 2 spaces before every line of code, but even after doing that, no clouds show up.

Hey Doc, So I tried to build a hightmap and all of it worked just fine, but the only colors I used were white and black so I decided to put some gray into the mix, then suddenly when I thought everything looked pretty good I saved it and reloaded the space engineers world I was using, then it said invalid format bla bla bla something something "B8G8R8A8_UNorm needs to be R16 or R8_Unorm which is strange considering I was using grayscale...? Can you help me out? Or maybe tell me how to save it in R16 or R8 using Gimp?
