Hi, I've been playing this game off and on for a couple of years and understand how most things work pretty well. But now I have a specific scenario I want to set up, and I'm not even sure it's possible to do.
I want to start as a colony from an inter-stellar empire that collapsed long ago. Many planets had their entire populations destroyed, and the ones that survived lost the secrets of Trans-Newtonian Technology. I will be doing a conventional start, my people just on the cusp of re-discovering the ancient secrets of TN-Tech. A couple of NPRs will have gained the secrets already.
Where I'm having trouble is that I want to place ruins in logical places that are of specific size, and from the same race. Is this something that can be done with the designer mode password, Or would it require editing the database by hand? I doubt I would bother with the latter, but access to designer mode might be usefull for other things too.
Any help would be appreciated, and I would like to thank Steve for making this great game available to all of us.
