I would like to change Europa in the Sol system to be a habitable planet as it is supposed to have human habitation according to the lore. I was thinking an Ice planet would fit appropriately. How do I do this? I've looked on the wiki and it doesn't seem to make a ton of sense when compared to how the system files actually look.
Thanks for any help.
How do you change the type of planet?

Just add a unit europa__planets in units.csv (check out earth__planets for a template).

Thanks for the quick response. However, I just tried that and it doesn't seem to have done anything once I test it out. Is there something else I have to do?

Re: How do you change the type of planet?
I'm not sure it's required, but you might also need a base script in bases/blah. (see bases/earth_some.py). If you really don't want to do all that and want to re-use the ice planets stuff, you could set unit="Snow" in the system xml.Minwaabi wrote:Thanks for the quick response.

It's the Sol.system you've been editing.
