I think that it is necessary to add more distance in the planet studio in the form of an interstellar update. This could mean one of two things (or both!):
1. Add an add star button with it’s own slider for distance that can be both a slider and an add number/value button, similar to the already existing eccentricity, inclination, and other hybrid sliders.
2. Make the distance slider like the aforementioned hybrid type.

I’d actually prefer both, as only 1 means you can only add a planet and make it, at most, 1,000 GM, and if you only do 2, it means we can’t have an interstellar system that has the stars that are not the center one not have their own light, so Jundroo, if you do add this, add both, as they both are versatile.
Thanks!
(BTW, I still love planet studio, it’s amazing and fun, and still will be without this idea being implemented!)
Also, the reason why I’m asking for an update like this is, well, an epic system/system idea. Here’s a word puzzle for the name:

ETH CPIEELS CABLK LHEO TSYMES

    @Hyperant You got the second word wrong, but I’ll give you a hint: it starts with E, ends with E, and has to do with darkness

    The wordy thing says

    "THE ECLIPSE BLACK HOLE SYSTEM"

    I don't know what "CPIEELS" is, so I put it how I thought. Anyways your puzzle was fun @Spitty.

    Also, @Spitty, do not listen to @Kenspaceagency, he is just a copy of BMNKRocketIndustries and he is trying to insult @Mostly out of anger that his main account (BMNKRocketIndustries) is banned because BMNK does some stupid things every now and then.

    Ok, to get to the system's XML, you need to go to Owner > AppData > LocalLow > Jundroo > SimpleRockets 2 > UserData > CelestialDatabase > PlanetarySystems, @Spitty. Having each star have its own light is currently impossible without using mods. You give a star its light flare ("glowy stuff"), and you must increase intensity in the Subbiomes tab.

    @Zenithspeed @Hyperant Plus, you can’t have multiple stars with their own light. UNACCEPTABLE!

    @Hyperant yes but that's inconvenient

    @Hyperant which file and how (BTW, I use windows when Playing on PC)

    You can do this on a PC by changing the system's parameters in the XML file.

    @Spitty with how far apart stars are, the map might get completely screwed up due to precision loss at immense distances from the origin. I got this to happen by teleporting an obscene distance upwards, and the map got jittery to the point that the icon representing the player craft was warping in and out of visibility.

    This might also apply to planets themselves, but I have not tested that.

    @LeMagicBaguette what does that mean?

    Co-ordinate precision might prove problematic.
