Idea I looked for like it didn''t find 1 so here iitis.

It'a small idea. Is there any way to mod the game where planets spin? Not orbit but just spin. I have seen things in the game that spin, so I was wondering if anyone could implement that "Spinning" code on a planet? Just a thought. I don't mod or anything of that sort. I just play the game and play the mods. Just add a little extra fluff to the game.

uhm... i do recall seeing a line of code which was: "rotation = 0,-1,0" and my guess on that would be it rotates counter clockwise on the y-axis. Now you have to figure out where that line goes... =\

Your correct kremit, but it's acually spin= not rotation=, line of code is how you get a planet to spin/spin at diffrent speeds. As to where it goes it goes in the system ini file where the planet is refrenced, ex:

[Object
nickname = LINAC_05
ids_name =458796
pos =-9000, 0, -69500
rotate =0, 0, 0
ambient_color =255, 0, 0
Archetype = planet_earthcity_4000
ids_info =524322
spin=0, 0.01, 0 ;This is the line that makes the planet rotate or spin
atmosphere_range=4300
burn_color=160, 222, 245
base = LINAC_05_Base
reputation = co_aci_grp
visit =0

This is one of the plants from my mod, as you can see the spin line is there, this one currtnly makes the planet sping fairly fast at the moment, i havnt played with the 'speeds' or anything else with it as yet, but if you do this it will spin. Hope that helps
