Maybe it could just be an unintentional feature/ bug ?Īnyway, what I was trying to ask is how youre trying to make the O type star exactly.

obviously it isnt based on a real life physics limitation because stars greater than 11 solar masses do form. Yeah, I wonder why that limitation is even in place. I still see no O-Type stars in the database, and never successfully made one without something going wrong I was hoping the devs would consider eliminating this limitation so we could custom make stars to any mass and size, affecting only the values like lifespan for very large stars. Like SyzygySoldier said though there is a limitation where after a set number of solar masses is exceeded the stars go nova automatically. the sun) and then increasing it's mass and radius to correspond to the recorded values of O-Type stars. When I Posted this I was attempting to make one from a preset star (i.e. There are stars like R136a1 in the database with 260 solar masses, obviously we couldnt make that but they were able to.So the devs arent restricted to the same limitations we are.Wonder why they havent made any O types for us. The game limits us from making stars like this but that doesnt mean the devs couldnt custom make O type stars for us and put them in the database though. Have you succesfully made one yet? Why are you having trouble making one? Is it because the star keeps going supernova when it reaches a certain mass? Have you found an O type star in the database yet? In reference to making them, do you mean making them from scratch? How are you going about making them? Making one shouldnt be too hard by just editting the stats of a star right? Im sure you know that though, Im guessing you wanna make one legitimately from scratch?

I suppose it could be a game limitation as trying to create one myself is quite tricky to do without causing a supernova to form. When I went to find some of the known cadidates, such as Alnitak a star in Orion's Belt I was surprised to not find it in the database and it wasn't the only one that wasn't there there aren't any O-Type stars at all. Though O-Type stars are easy to spot with the naked eye due to them being excptionally lumonious (they also tend to have temperatures in the 50,000 K range). Originally posted by Callipso:They aren't in huge abundace in our galaxy like they used to be. I'll cut the list short as I don't want this to be a list that goes on forever. There are also some main sequence O-Type stars as well. LH54-425 (star lies in the constellation Dorado and close to the Large Magellanic Cloud, it is also a dual O-Type binary system) Plaskett's Star (HR 2422 or V640 Monocerotis) (Binary star system where both stars are O-Type) Mintaka (star lies in between Alnitak and Alnilam in Orion's Belt) Tau Canis Majoris (is a small star cluster where the brightest is an O-Type star) I suppose it could be a game limitation as trying to create one myself is quite tricky to do without causing a supernova to form.ĭo the devs plan to add some of these stars in the game at some point?Īlnitak (star lies to the left of Mintaka in Orion's Belt)Ĭygnus X-1 (is actually a binary system where the star orbits a black hole might be a nice simualation)

They aren't in huge abundace in our galaxy like they used to be.
