Console Spawn Planets

Description
Tool for spawning planets with a specific diameter and position via console command. Allows for precise placement of planets with any diameter (including oversized planets).

For anyone that wants to create oversized or precisely-placed planets and can't/doesn't want to use the SEWorldGenPlugin for whatever reason. I made the tool for my own use, but I figure I'd publish it if anyone finds it useful.

Enter commands in the chat box with the tokens separated by periods in the form:
/CSP.PlanetSubtypeName.DiameterNum
or
/CSP.PlanetSubtypeName.DiamaterNum.PositionX.PositionY.PositionZ

Diameter and position values are all in meters. The position value corresponds to the center of the planet.

Examples:
/CSP.EarthLike.500000 /CSP.Alien.100000 /CSP.Triton.1200000 /CSP.EarthLike.500000.0.0.9000000 /CSP.Titan.500000.1000000.2000000.0

Just as a dumb note for anyone wondering; the size is in meters IE: 120000 = 120'000m = 120km

To my knowledge, there isn't a way to rotate planets. However, you can change the sun's axis of rotation to be around the equator if you want.

How to Fix Sun Angle in Save Files:
Edit Sandbox.sbc
<BaseSunDirection x="0" y="0" z="1" />
<SunDirectionNormalized x="0" y="0" z="1" />

Edit SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs
<SunAzimuth>3.14159274</SunAzimuth>
<SunElevation>0</SunElevation>

Delete SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbsB5

Quick question. How does your tool handle the planet orientation? This is an issue with the default, built-in tool where you cannot control rotation at all, and if the planet is designed with ice poles and warmer biomes, it can be a bit immersion breaking with sun rotation. Have you thought about some optional params to handle this?

i was asking if i could use the coords used to place GPS coordinates as them, not whatever you thought, oops lol

well it is placed near where i want it to be anyways so

*diameter, not radius
Echthros  [author] 17 Mar @ 1:54am 
Use the format: "/CSP.Titan.500000.1000000.2000000.0" to set the radius and coords exactly. Just type the X, Y, and Z values as the last 3 params.
