StarGen

Procedural galaxy and star system generation

Deterministic generation (seed-based)

• Use a seed to generate reproducible results
• Load saved galaxies
• Re-create the same galaxy, star, or system again later from the same settings
• Start a new galaxy from config + seed

• Great for sharing discoveries and building consistent worlds

3D object and system viewers

• Object Viewer for inspecting individual celestial bodies
• System Viewer for exploring full solar systems in 3D
• Camera controls and inspector panels for detailed information
• View orbital layouts, stars, planets, moons, belts, and rings

Solar system generation pipeline

• Supports single and multiple star systems (up to 10 stars)
• Binary/multi-star orbital relationships and host rules
• Orbit slot generation with stability checks
• Planet, moon, and asteroid belt placement with validation

Population and station framework

• Planet suitability and habitability-based population generation
• Colony/native population concepts and government-type groundwork
• Space station/outpost generation framework (prototype stage)

Jump lane route generation (prototype)

• Calculate inter-system jump routes / lanes (ala Traveller Style, with slightly modified rules due to increased distances between systems).
• Visual route coloring by range
• Galaxy viewer integration for route visualization

Save/load support

• Save and load:
  • Celestial objects
  • Solar systems
  • Galaxies
• Versioned persistence for evolving project builds

Built for iteration and reliability

• Large automated test coverage (determinism, generation validation, benchmarks)
• Designed for repeatable generation and long-term expansion

• Set minimum/maximum/exact counts for planets, moons, and belts
• Lock stellar/system properties and regenerate within constraints
• Better feedback when constraints conflict
• Specify object parameters or randomly generate individual celestial bodies

Better rendering and visual polish

• Improved lighting from one or more stars
• Rotation/orbit animation improvements
• Richer planet visuals (oblateness, cloud layers, aurora, ring shadows, LOD)

Editing tools (object/system/galaxy)

• Edit generated objects directly in inspector
• Recalculate derived values automatically
• Add/remove bodies and adjust orbits
• Undo/redo workflows
• Save objects and load them into other systems

Galactic editing and refinement

• Region-based density/system constraints
• Galaxy region editing and regeneration tools
• Save/load UX improvements and general polish

Population simulation expansion

• Tech levels, regimes/government evolution, and history timeline systems
• Deeper colony/station integration with civilization data

Jump lane polish and optimization

• Better performance and level-of-detail behavior
• Route visualization polish and clearer diagnostics

Use Case Settings

• Customizable generation settings to suit your game's needs (Traveller settings, "Scientifically Accurate" settings, etc)
