I made something you are really like - the parametric planet searcher. It is an option for the old star browser: ability to set up a planet\/moon parameters filter. Once set up, the searcher will examine each generated planetary system and count the number of planets\/moons that match the filter. This counter is printed in the last column.<\/p>\n

Here I found 3 star systems with terra with life orbiting a gas giant:<\/p>\n

And here I found a terra with 7 selena moons (and 1 desert moon):<\/p>\n

Of course this is a cheat feature and will be disabled in the game. In the game players will be able to search planets only through a server database of discovered planets. This is a key gameplay feature. But maybe this searcher must be disabled in the planetarium as well? It is too easy to find a terra with life now. I made this system for developing purposes, to be able to find specific planet type more easily.<\/p>\n

The next stage is moving the star class filter to the star search stage, i.e. if you set up it for \"Main Sequence G star\", the star searcher will ignore all stars except G ones. This will allow to utilize the limited capacity of searcher list. Another possible improvement is generating a list of planets\/moons that passes the filter and output it by a some way. Maybe additional window popping up by clicking the \"filter\" cell in the table. This window will have a table with list of found planets\/moons, click on it will select the object. But this is even more cheat option \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

ADDED:<\/p>\n

Ok, I made few upgrades:<\/p>\n

- A main system's star filter, which work on a star searching stage. The star table is populated only by systems that matching the filter.
\n- A stellar subclass filter (i.e. G2, G3, G4 etc.)
\n- A hint with a list of bodies that match the planet\/moon filter. Just hold mouse cursor over the table cell, and you will see a list of planets\/moons.<\/p>\n

I think that's all for now, I must switch to other tasks.<\/p>\n
