    Hi,

    I am uploading a mod to PAMM which permits to load 'experimental systems' when you create a game

    Simply by force enabling the 'load' button which is disabled if a planet as a radius superior to 1200

    This mod also allow to create bigger planets in system editor (radius max 4000)

    A 2000 planet takes 5GB in ram
    A 3000 planet takes 8GB in ram

    Stay tuned

    What's the rule on mods like this? It should be ok but I don't want to let people abuse this and put lots of load on Uber's severs like the unlimited lobby size hack did.

    Important limits are enforced by the server, not by the clients.

    ok, thanks!

    So Yuuzhantar, if this mod works fine then I'll go ahead and merge it into PAMM.

    So it turns out that planet size was not correctly enforced. This is a bug and will be fixed with the next patch.

    Sufficiently large planets will crash the client on certain machines. You shouldn't exceed the size restrictions. In fact, sufficiently large planets could affect performance in games on the same server machine (not in your game).

    You should *not* use this mod.
