Ok, I am trying to set this up. 2 questions:
1. How do I change the atmosphere is sm mode? I hit f9 and see all the sm buttons but the closest I see is "update atmosphere"...doesn't seem to do anything though.
2. Once I created a player control race, do I have to delete the "sm race" that I don't want to play with? How do I do that if I need to?
1.) You will need to create a colony for your sm race. Then go into the F2 screen, enviroment tab (far left up top) You can then edit the atmosphere as you want.
2.) You do not need to delete the sm race as long as you never give them any population. You can create colonies, but I would recommend deleting them as they might show up for anyone who puts a population on the planet, I can't quite remember if showing up requires some installations/population or not.
3.) If you decide to create and then delete multiple systems looking for the system you want, make sure you put npr generation to 0% or you may get some funny errors. If an npr is created but you then destroy the system they were in it does not destroy the race entry. This can cause problems down the road.
