System Creation and Testing Resources Needed
-
So, I’ve decided to take an interest in the creation of Solar Systems, and the editing of existing ones. I’ve looked around here on the Starport, other websites, and have come up short for a comprehensive guide on how to create and manipulate new systems. I’ve seen a few tools lying around here, however If I don’t know how to do it with the ini files, then using the GUI-Editors does me no good, as I won’t be able to know much about what the GUI editor is doing / telling me, and so on and so forth.
So, my question is, does anyone have any links, files, tips, tricks, or otherwise useful information to aid me in my endeavor to learn the art of crafting systems?
Thanks!

I’d guess something called the system tutorial would be a good place to start? But I haven’t looked at it, so couldn’t say for certain.

This compilation of tutorials/guides contains my favourite guide to system building, look for “System building from scratch by Giskard”

This guide uses the ini editing approach to system building and cover most area’s in a fair amount of detail.
Another approach that combines ini editing and an excellent 3D display of the system infrastructure is FL mod studio worth checking out

Encounters make a system a much more exciting and interesting place to fly in but it’s a substantial topic on it’s own so here’s a link for future reading.
