Introduction

Yay! Space balls!

Properties

All of the properties for asteroid generation are contained with the GCSOLARGENERATIONGLOBALS.GLOBAL file.

PlanetInvalidAsteroidZone

The distance around planets that no asteroids will spawn.

AsteroidsEnabled

Enables or disables the asteroid generation altogether.

True = generate asteroids

SparseAsteroidSpread

"Sparse Asteroids" are the asteroids floating out in space not connected to any asteroid fields. This determines how sparse they will be.

Lower values = more sparse

LargeAsteroidFadeTime

The time it takes the large asteroids to fade from view.

AsteroidSettings

Within the AsteroidSettings container are sub-containers for each of the asteroid types, which hold all the settings for the generation of that specific asteroid type. Since each of these are identical besides a change in type, only the Common asteroids will be covered. What is learned here can be applied to the other sub-containers.
