    Hi everyone

    what determines how fast the planets are generated, before you can click the Start game button?

    PA runs well, but loading planets is slow. a single planet system takes ~60 secs


    My hardware specs
    Intel Core 2 Quad CPU @ 2.3Ghz
    8Gb RAM
    Nvidia GTX 650Ti 2Gb
    10/1 Adsl

    thanks in advance

    Hi Eric, planet generation speed is determined by radius of planet and cpu speed and number of cores (planet generation is well threaded). Just remember that surface area of a sphere increases exponentially with radius, so essentially a load of small planets are quicker to build than one big one...
