Real Stars

Tired of the old skybox sun that you can never reach? Wishing you could explore a real solar system or three? Want to burn yourself to ash diving into the stellar plasma? Well now you can!

With this mod you can construct as many solar systems as you like in a world with stars of whatever size, color, brightness, and incinerative capacity that you desire. So whether you want to set up a cozy little vanilla system around an authentic sun or travel between exotic systems in search of the perfect planetoid, the skybox is no longer the limit.

The wait is over. It's time to get some sun.

1. The skybox sun is removed entirely.

2. A new star "planet" is added than can be placed anywhere and adjusted via config file. There are no limits on size, brightness, gravity, etc.

3. The global sunlight will adjust in strength and orientation as you move around the system (or between them) to match the current position of the nearest star. The sun direction is NOT synced between client and server, so every player will see the sunlight from their own perspective.

4. Each planet will have its own day/night cycle which is configurable from the Config file. While players are in space, the stars and skybox will be fixed. While near a planet, the stars and skybox will rotate around the planet and simulate the normal day cycle. There is a visual crossfade between zones when the player approaches or leaves a planet. No grids, GPSs or voxels are actually moving.

5. Solar blocks will also respect the sun direction from their perspective and adjust output based on star distance and brightness.

6. Stars will damage grids and players that get too close (values are fully configurable).

7. Fully compatible with the Real Orbits mod, so feel free to set the solar gravity falloff to 2 and try orbiting a star!

1. Sunlight angle can only rotate around the Up-axis, so the light may look like it's coming from the wrong direction if you get too high above or below a star. Try to construct each solar system in roughly the same plane to avoid oddities (the stars will draw some helper lines in the world as you're placing planets to help keep them straight).

If the sunlight axis in your world is slanted and you want it to be flat (light orbits around planet equators), then you'll need to either edit your save file to fix it, or make sure to start with a default Star System world and delete the planets before building your world.

DO NOT START WITH THE DEFAULT EMPTY WORLD UNLESS YOU WANT THE SUN AXIS TO BE SLANTED!

How to Fix Sun Angle in Save Files:
Edit Sandbox.sbc
<BaseSunDirection x="0" y="0" z="1" />
<SunDirectionNormalized x="0" y="0" z="1" />

Edit SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbs
<SunAzimuth>3.14159274</SunAzimuth>
<SunElevation>0</SunElevation>

Delete SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbsB5

1. Create a new world with the Star System preset (this preset has the sunlight rotate around the planet equators) and delete all of the planets. Add this mod.

2. Use the planet spawn menu (Shift+F10) to spawn whatever stars you want (RealStar planet) at whatever positions you want. Save and quit.

3. Go to the save folder for the world and look for the Config.xml inside of the Storage folder (...\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\Saves\<SteamId>\<SaveGameName>\Storage\3152436752.sbm_RealSun\Config.xml).

4. Edit the Config.xml to adjust the settings for the world and each individual star. Make sure to set <OverrideFromConfig> to true. Save the file.

5. Load back into the save and place whatever planets you want around the stars. Try to keep the planets in the same plane as the guide lines drawn around the nearest star.

6. Enjoy exploring!
