BUG Game Editor places Star Systems with identical names

Post by Emperor0Akim »

I placed some sytems with the Editor and
it happened two times that a System Name was placed Twice.

For screenshots or safegame you have to wait until sunday.

Second when removing planets the surrounding asteroid belts and moons should be removed as well.

That's the least of your worries. If you add/remove star systems with the editor, it seems that it messes up ship navigation. At some point your automated ships might want to travel to the end of the galaxy. Might have been fixed in the last update, but keep an eye out for that and report it if it happens.

The editor can be a bit buggy. Changing planet size past a certain point breaks the model and you will get ships and bases being built inside the planet or covering the asteroids that were there before you increased the size. As always when you run across stuff like this submit a bug report so the devs can be sure of seeing it as there are waaaaay too many forums posts for them to keep up.
