    I really love playing team games in pa. 2v2v2 and 3 v 3 . I'm a big fan of pax prime and I think the community as a whole enjoys this map. Since I cannot create systems I'm in a bind. I was wondering if somebody can make a map pack for pamm and make it downloadable. I would like different recreations of pax prime. Different combination of planets and sizes. But all similar to pax prime. 5 planets total with a metal and gas plus 3 more. Nothing fancy with metal just spread out normal. You can call it pax prime map pack. Maybe 5 - 10 different pax prime style maps. I know there is other map packs but I'm not fond of them because they have weird metal layouts and designs. If my pa was not bugged I would of done this myself. Thanks and let me know what you guys think.

    What stops you making systems? Not having a go, just curious. I havnt looked at system editor since early beta but even then it was pretty easy to use. Has something changed since then?

    Perhaps Awesome System Generator could do that?

    Some type of bug. I cant save systems. When I go to save it doesn't let me. I used to be able to then one day I couldnt through various patches. I tried uninstalling pamm and reinstalling pa with no mods and it still is bugged out.

    You are setting planets as starting planet, right? You may also want to try renaming the "Planetary Annihilation" to "Planetary Annihilation.bak" in:
    Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Uber Entertainment\
    On a typical install %LOCALAPPDATA% will be C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local
    OSX: ~/Library/Application Support/Uber Entertainment/
    Linux: ~/.local/Uber Entertainment/

    That'll nuke all of your Galactic Wars, settings, mods, and systems. If that doesn't work, you can simply rename the folder back.

    This is a little UI mod that allows you to have greater control over the system / planet generator than the standard options. It's a very quick way to create complex procedural multi planet systems with a little more control over the outcome. It's ideal for creating variations of systems like PAX, what it can't do is create 'hand placed' type planets (although I'm assuming you could use this to create a starting template, then go in and edit the planets manually if you wanted?).

    Recently, i got my maps to save a bit more reliably. However, the saves added additional landing zones, changed the metal counts, and removed all the csg's from certain planets. lol.
