Yeah, that's 142 planets and no, I did NOT edit that in.

A few other oddities are in this game, the Ancient Guardians have a system with 26 barren planets with many of them having ruins on them...um, why are my ruins wasted like that.

There is another system with something like 37 continental planets also, I found that one and was like damn, that's alot of planets, until I found the Frog's system.

All kinds of strangeness, anyone have anything like it?

Edit: btw, are you on the vanilla versions? rots? 1.5.0.8? do you use any mods?

Not really complaining about it at all, Sir Cookie, but it just struck me as so odd and naturally the questions of how and why.  So many systems in other clusters were so devoid of good planets and then, bam, here is everything!

The only thing I can think of that might have caused it was me rerolling a few maps.  I didn't want a split system start and kept getting that.  I'll happily load a save when I figure out how/where etc.

Please figure out what went wrong (or so very, very right).

Now, I must plan to obliterate the frogs out of that system because clearly my humans need those 142 planets (plus a moon but who is counting) to themselves!

You still need to start a tech support thread.

Just copy and paste the details from here.

To quote someone we all know: One moon to 142 planets: wow, I mean WOW.
And that does not include all of IGard's cloaked moons. :)

The rest of us: only one at the far right of the series
Igard: ok, this clearly shows that I need to increase the brightness on my monitor...again. Can't have anyone else see my cloaked moons

Better put your Long Range Scanners on full Data!

...and as far as the 142 planets in a system goes....WOW! NEVER, EVER heard of that one. I'd even
bet the editor would crash the game before that many could be generated. I've got to look at that
save game he has, especially if he is using the Star Trek mod. Curious?

I'm warping back to the Briar Patch Labs immediately!

Status: offline 		i find this difficult to believe, look how close the planets are to each other, and look how a lot of the planets make lines. i bet he just spammed continental planets all over the system with the editor.

and you wouldn't crash with that many planets at one system using the editor, i have done it before. it would just be really slow, but that's more than enough for a screenshot.

Then why would he go to the trouble of making a tech support thread and downloading File Zilla and uploading a bug report?

Sounds like alot of hassle if he was just winding us all up.

Quite an accusation there Sir...

Status: offline 		Hmm, this kind of system would be perfect for a LONG war for a single system, the kind of was I love in games. Every piece of rock counts. Reminds me of the quintuple star systems from Elite First Encounters, those had HUUUUUUUUUUUGE distances involved, and like 20-40 planets and moons at least. Too bad you can't have twin or triple star systems in DW, would rockzors.

Cheers

Why, because it has never happened to you? You've never experienced it before so therefore I must be lying or posting crap for the sake of it? Because I think a game's only developer should waste his time on something I made up rather than improve a game I like?

I've lurked for ages but saw something odd and asked others if they had seen it before. Some were quite helpful in pointing me in the direction of what they experienced and what to do to report it (and thank you for that) but having my sincerity and integrity attacked really makes me wish I hadn't said a thing.
