Hello all, Loudbill here with another dumb question.
How exactly do I age a star and make it go supernova? I tried aging VY Canis Majoris by increasing the years per second. I increased it to the point it was at a billion+ years per second, and nothing happened.
Am I doing something wrong?

That is how. I can't open Ubox right now, but my guess is that the density is set WAAAAY too low. Betelgeuse has the same problem.
Other stars will go nova/supernova correctly when you have the time step going.

Ahh, yes, I forgot about density. Thanks for the reply man

I only seem to be able to produce sudden super nova remnants, which cannot be edited or deleted in any way. The remnant is also not moving. Is that supposed to happen?
Edit: Canis Majoris blows up as soon as you switch it to realistic. Is this a bug?

This hasn't happened to me before, so i'm not sure

You have to place in another object after it explodes

The radius is pretty accurate but the mass is way too low. Canis Majoris has at least 30M☉
Maybe that's why the density is too low.

You could try adding mass amounts of hydrogen
