Precise Tools for adding new objects

[zongor]

Is there a way to add objects (stars, planets, etc.) very precisely? In the system I am modeling I need to be able to add stars and planets within a hundredth of a ly away from the star which is serving as (0,0,0).

anyone? is there a way to edit the save files directly in order to have this functionality?

Edit save files? Unless you've found out some way to hack into US2's file values with T-Search or something, then no.

[zongor]

the .sim files seem to be in plaintext; so its quite easy to edit

Why are you asking for help if it's easy for you?

[zongor]

What I meant was that opening the file was easy; not how to change the position was

for anyone who wants this functionality:

saving the simulation and opening the archive file allows for access to the .json file where the simulation data is stored:

the .json files (as of the alpha 9 update) are not encrypted and can be edited directly using a text editor

inside of each Bodies": [{}] is a line for the position of the object called:

"Position": "X;Z;Y" ~ (just guessing here)?
which can be edited

although; I think that the velocity is also a factor to its position
