Galaxy Forge Questions

New to Galaxy Forge need some help.

from Sins Forums

I have played this game off and on since the original came out, but i have never really used the Galaxy Forge. I was wondering if anyone could answer a few questions. I have also been looking at the guide for some help.

  1. Does the Galaxy forge have the DLC's new planets?
  2. If not how do I get them or do I have to wait for an update?
  3. how do i set up a designated starting point for player?
  4. Am I able to determine the amount of resources and artifacts the planet has? and if so how?
  5. how do I add file to game?

I will have more questions as I go thanks!

Does the Galaxy forge have the DLC's new planets?

I think so, if not it is possible to add them to it manually without too much grief.

how do i set up a designated starting point for player?

Each planet has an owner and homeworld property.

Am I able to determine the amount of resources and artifacts the planet has? and if so how?

When you edit the players you can set their starting resources. You can change the artifact density from the main menu (when you don't have an object selected), or you can manually add one to a planet by adding a planet group to the planet, adding the artifact you want, then using the settings "Always" and "NoOwner" as parameters.

how do I add file to game?

Put it in your C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\GalaxyForge folder.

The Galaxy forge I have does not have the DLC Planets. I've looked through it but cant find them anywhere.

Mine has them listed but no graphic icons. Check your file integrity through Steam.

Put it in your C:\Users\User\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\GalaxyForge folder.

It will then appear in the Galaxy Forge tab in game.

The fair type planets have NO artifacts and planet bonuses, they also have a standardized amount of asteroids around them, for a more challenging game, so no more randomness in planets.

Don't forget the militia are always the same. No more getting a terran planet with 4 heavy cruisers guarding it while your opponent only has 1.
