how to use dynamic spawnable planets: (warning, yap session)

1. Placement
right click on the celestial object you want to spawn, click spawn with toolgun and just click anywhere, for specific placement you'll have to freeze an object and use the toolgun to click on that object.

2. Surface/Terrain
your planet will NOT come with terrain. you'll have to build it yourself. personally i used a big sheet of plastic and froze it. thats how i do it.

3. Environment and resources
of course your planet will inherit the properties of a regular planet, depending how you do it, it just takes a while to setup.

4. Colonization/Habitation.
if you have a liveable planet, then you can just use wind farms for power. if you have basic knowledge on building a colony, you'll need to setup lifesupport on the planet because your energy will not be preserved on the lifesupport planet. as far as obtaining water, it needs to be obtained through external means.

They are in the entities tab. They can also be spawned in with a bit of lua code if your a developer.

@storm37000 could you add support for Mee's infinite map?
storm37000  [author] 22 Jun, 2022 @ 8:37pm 
there is no ground for them, you make your own. These were first made as an easier way to make spacebuild maps with more dynamic planets, also an abaondoned project for infinite spacebuild maps

all the planets i spawn in don't have any ground, they're just.. there. should i be worried?

Perfect

Oof ive been looking for something VERY close to this, i need to find something like this, but the planets are ACTUALLY able to be gone on
storm37000  [author] 5 Mar, 2020 @ 2:54pm 
no, the entities dont have any physics/anything to grab
Danny 22 May, 2019 @ 1:34pm 
Is there a way to physgun / toolgun it?
The Trollge 26 Jun, 2018 @ 8:28pm 
nice...
TruGerman 19 Jan, 2018 @ 10:53am 
Interesting,ill just place some props within them and be happy xD
storm37000  [author] 19 Jan, 2018 @ 9:42am 
yea, they wont ever have ground unless lua could generate map brushes and working water.

These actually are mainly meant to make spacebuild mapping easier as you make your own normal ground brush in hammer.
TruGerman 19 Jan, 2018 @ 6:48am 
Theres no surface on the Planets,is that normal?
V I P E R S N E K 7 May, 2017 @ 2:25pm 
can you make blackholes with an event horzon effect, like in Spacebuild?
BrainyPepper 1 May, 2017 @ 3:07pm 
Could you make a sandbox version? Even if it's just a prop with animated clouds, that would still be cool.
PhantomBacon 29 Jan, 2017 @ 6:48pm 
oh thanks
i thought ya neeed to do like f1-f12
storm37000  [author] 29 Jan, 2017 @ 6:38pm 
they are in entities tab
PhantomBacon 29 Jan, 2017 @ 6:35pm 
i know but are there commands to spawn em in i have see you spawn som in before
storm37000  [author] 29 Jan, 2017 @ 6:11pm 
you must be in a spacebuild map for it to work. its just the way spacebuild works.
PhantomBacon 29 Jan, 2017 @ 6:52am 
how does 1 use it in single player?
Sorell 23 Dec, 2016 @ 1:31pm
