    Just some questions I have regarding the system editor. I've been trying to find the answers via Google, Steam and the forums here with no luck yet. Figure it would just be a better use of my time to ask here directly.

    1) Does anyone know how to exit a planet's advance editing mode?
    I would like to edit the terrain height details and other settings but no matter what I do, I am always on the advanced editing mode. Even after exiting the system editor or the game entirely.

    2) Any way to quickly remove brushes from a planet? I am trying to sculpt a planet from a blank state but they all have mountains or other terrain features (aside from the gas planets of course). It is a bit of a pain to delete each one 1 by 1.

    3) Has anyone else had the planet lose all its changes even after being saved? I deleted all the brushes off a planet earlier today, saved it and then I clicked the close button on the planet editor and they all came back. This was very frustrating and made me not wish to do it all again.

    4) Are the "Metal Spots" and "Landing Zones" option in the advanced planet editor a WIP? When I click on them, nothing happens aside from the number of metal under "ELEMENTS" either disappearing or re appearing. Other than that, nothing else happens. I don't get any options to modify/view anything.​

    If it matters any, I'm running v.76557 on Steam.

    I can answer a few of these.

    1) You can not, at the moment anyway.

    2) Not that I know of.

    3) Yes, but that's only in the system editor, everything will still be there in an actual match.

    4) No, in metal edit mode "m" places metal spots and "b" deletes metal spots, in the spawn edit mode I thiiin "j" places spots and "g" deletes them.

    I highly suggest you take a look at the key bindings and even set then to eat you'd like then to be. Go to the options menu and look for something along the lines of system editor to find them.

    Hope this helped some. :)
