Start a game with some Sphere & Ringworlds already made.

Hi, have you ever wanted to try these out, but cant get far enough in the game to build them?
Now there is a way to play normally, but to also find RingWorlds and SphereWorlds as you explore the galaxy....waiting to be colonised :)

-----
if you open up the game folder, there will be a file called "PlanetSize.txt" in the Data folder.

in "PlanetSize.txt" there are options to specify whether a planet is "constructed" or not..

tiny, medium, huge planets etc, are "false"
but SphereWorlds and RingWorlds are set currently to :
Constructed := True

by changing these to False, they now generate in the game :)
now they can be colonised :)

help needed:

i found this out, basically because i was trying some editing of PlanetSize.txt in order to try to add them as buildable options for the star trek mod, here:
https://steamproxy.com/app/1610/discussions/0/1484358860958269544/
(some other modders have kindly helped to fix the mod so that i can have mobile space yard barges again, but im still trying to find a way to add RingWorlds, SphereWorlds, and Dyson rings to my modded game :o( if you can help please post back as would be cool :)

(thanks ekolis - im not sure about se5 as i havent been able to play much of it at all yet, mainly due to the user interface)
ekolis 30 апр. 2023 г. в 9:45 
Ringworlds and sphereworlds are in both SE4 and SE5. However they only take up one tile in SE4 whereas they occupy much of the system in SE5.

I don't remember whether Sphereworlds (Dyson Spheres) were actually in SE4 (I might've thought that Sphereworlds are SE5 exclusives).

A different question: Do these planet size constructed flags also work in SE5 (Space Empires V) ?

ok thanks

I think they made place for other things to spawn - not sure as I played only once with such settings

oh that is interesting, what happened when you did... did the tiny ones simply vanish (or did it actually make way for other things to spawn in their place?)
Mades-Redo 28 июл. 2021 г. в 23:01 
Good find. I changed also Constructed to True for Tiny Planets to eliminate them from the map :-)

ah thanks for the info ekolis, i never tried tectonics before, though i guess all the more reason to protect the ring and sphere worlds from harm - or try to utilise them as much as possible before the other player or a.i tries to balance things out (or vice versa) :)

oh that is interesting, i usually dont get tempted to cheat etc (i usually play on finite resources too), though it might be cool to spend some resources or time, trying it out "for science" :lunar2019grinningpig:

Hmm. Two flaws just occurred to me with this plan.

1. Pre-existing ringworlds and sphereworlds will be vulnerable to tectonic bombs.

2. More concerning, ringworlds and sphereworlds can be created by level 3 matter gravity spheres from huge asteroids. So you might be tempted to grind the asteroids, planeting and unplaneting them repeatedly until you get a sphereworld!

and here are a few other mods i have seen which seem to contain ringworld or sphereworld code but im not sure how to add to my latest stable existing savegame?

any help would be greatly appreciated, and in case you only want or know how to play the game, then hopefully you can enjoy the latest version of the mod with some fixes :)

(im also willing to archive up my entire steam Space Empires 4 deluxe folder if you feel that will help - minus the game .exe) - many thanks if you are able to help
