About Dust and Ring settings
« on: January 11, 2014, 05:27:09 AM »
Heya, is it possible to add setting to rings made by dust like lock on planet? Because in my own system its not possible to make any rings for planet, when i create one it always disbands after some time or it gets pulled by mass of star even its low. Not only in my own system.In solar system simulation saturn's ring can disband sometimes when you set time higher, its kinda fragile :p

Thank you for reading

I don't think it's possible to lock rings/dust in orbit no, the best thing you can do is probably to keep the timestep slow enough so that you can see the orbits not getting unstable. The higher the timestep is, the more inaccurate the simulation becomes.
