We Can No Longer Make the Max Radius Whatever We Want

Anyone know where to mod it so we can remove the radius limit?

I want to do some large planet renders for funsies.

Single planet games need this.

Code:

media/ui/main/game/system_editor/system_editor.js

Just guessing at a glance, but line 646 is:

Code:

radius: { min: 100, max: 1300 },

Try changing it to a higher value. The server has a limit it won't build over, if it's 1300 you're out of luck anyway.

Yeah. I don't want to play, I just want to render a real large planet.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

There's a mod on PAMM that removes the restrictions isn't there?

Tried it, didn't do it. I'll poke around...

What does this limit do exactly?

Edit: Eep, whoops, I read that as /mex/ limit since some players call metal spots mexes, whoopsie.

That would be awesome; set the mex-radius to 100, and build a giant metal extractor that produces 9000+ metal per second.

Ok, it would be horrifying.

It's line 766

That looks more like it. Tested working for every biome?

Code:

764 var radius_range = spec.radius_range;
765 if (_.isEmpty(radius_range))
766   radius_range = [100, 1300];

It seems changing line 766 only works if radius_range is not defined properly, it might be better to change line 764 directly and remove line 765 and 766:

Code:

764 var radius_range = [100, 9001];

@elodea made a mod on PAMM called "Unlocked System Editor", which I believe removes the restrictions the OP wants removed.

No it doesn't. I just checked and it looks like the mod does what I first suggested. The checkBiomeJson function needs to be altered as brian described, it appears to validate the input into the expected range of 1300 radius max.

You can now tag people via an @trialq link FYI.

Thank you. Finally that thing works as people expect it to

A few month ago Uber fixed the server side limitations so nobody can out of memory a server with a too big planet. Just like 100 man games too big planets are a no no right now.
