Nope. Bodes law.

I see. Be careful with the placement and size of your gas giants since a single large one is enough to wreck the whole thing. I forget the point where the outer ones turned into wrecking balls, somewhere between a large neptune and a small Saturn I think. Massive ones close in are safe though as they'll hold their own. Also, if you have the two stars in an inclined orbit, your planes will eventually shift their inclination to roughly that of the binary orbital plane.

I manually put in the inclination and node for the plane of the binary star's orbits, as you can observe since the milky way is at an odd angle.

Cheesy

YOU MUST HAVE THE FIAHTEXTA PACK (Get it here) IN ORDER FOR THE PLANETS TO WORK PROPERLY!

There is a bug where custom textures don't show up, so sorry about the weird textures.
