Yeah, I was feeling particularly uncreative about this update's title.
Quick update it is, too: Making steady and good progress in planetary formation. I'm certain to have basic planet formation finished by the end of the week. Asteroid and moon formation the week after.
When the new code can create that much of a full system, then I'll wipe away all of the old stars and make a blob of new stars. As long as there isn't something terribly wrong, they will probably be fairly permanent as I shift out of the god phase of world-building and get to the player phase, introducing resources and construction and all those good things that we look forward to in these games.
Revealed: There is a lot of variety in the stars of UNIVERSE. Unlike most games in which stars have little or no effect, the stars of UNIVERSE are the heart of everything, as the planets are born from them and their properties rather than randomly generated next to them. Of course, even for two seemingly identical stars, the planets won't end up the same either. No two star systems will be the same; and possibly not even similar! Opportunity will lie in the diversity.
