Question about planet spawning

from GalCiv4 Forums

Hello All!

I have been playing around with console commands recently, and one of the things that I tried to accomplish was to create a planet.  Now, I obviously used the SpawnPlanet console command, and I ended up using several versions of some of the following:

SpawnPlanet PlanetEarth 32

SpawnPlanet PlanetAltaria 32

etc.

However, I am not actually looking to spawn an Earth or Altaria or Drengi home world planet.  What I am trying to do is spawn an uninhabited planet, just an empty planet.  What am I doing wrong?  Or is it not possible to create planets using the command console?

Thanks for your input!

Wow, just not going tells us. hehe. I mean you asked a year ago... No point in have command that requires planet def. when we don't know what planet def is... in my case I just wanted so spawn a little class 5 planet to boost planet inputs of my large planet... how would you do that? Seems to want a specific name.

I'm not sure there is such a command.

If there were a command to add a Spores of Yggdrasil charge to your vault you could use it to create a Class 5 planet out of a dead planet. Not sure there is, though. 

Another approach would be to grab the mod out of Draver's bundle of mods that allows you to create your own Spores of Yggdrasil through a planetary project, and use that.
