    no lava planets or planets exceeding 1200 raduis.
    then it should load.

    also 5-6 planets yeah ..
    But 40 planets.. NOOOOOOOOO
    each small planet uses at least 400-500mb of ram, 40x that = wow. virtual memory overload.

    a 1200 raduis planet uses around 1.2gb-4gb ram depending on the amount of features (mountains, canyons, cracks in the ground).
    Try starting with 1 or 2 planets.

    There is also a hard limit of no more than 16 planets in a game at the moment. There is a hard tech limit on that currently.

    But start small - try a couple custom smaller systems - 2 to 4 planets, and keep them reasonably sized - 1000 or smaller, and start with that. Then work your way up to see what your client can handle.
