Monmarfori, I think the reason why the stars closest to the core is being flung out is because the computer isn't fast enough to calculate the orbit. The only way to prevent it is to slow down the timestep of the simulation. Smiley

Although this does happen in reality:

In Universe Sandbox it's usually because the time step is too high. Smiley

I really want an option to enable/disable the particles from disappearing in a collision.

Explain this more please. Are you talking about how they fade out? Or when they crash into a body?

I think that he meant a tool that allow particles to pass through bodies without disappearing as they do now. (by the way I'm not him Smiley)

I am pretty sure I know. I think what Chaotic Cow means is that when an object crashes into another, it starts to fade away until it doesn't exist anymore. I think he wants it so it doesn't go away. I can relate, because I have always wanted that.

it would be cool if you could almost make a dent in the planet if it collides and sometimes merge. it would also be nice if when you made a planet explode, it turned into rocks instead of smaller planets  Smiley

What Neutron said.

I don't want collision debris to go away. I Like it because sometimes it makes rings but then it goes away.

I agree with Chaotic Cow, it would be very nice if you could en-/disable the disappearing of particles from collisions. Smiley

Can you add climet's,relistic planet collisions ,planets bake when to close to star, black holes that acually streatch and eat stars and a function that lets you create the planets image?

those are some ideas for future updates that i would enjoy to have. Smiley

Planets bake when near stars? That wouldn't work because it would mean mercury would be destroyed immediately!

While there is some light multi-threading in the current release (loading textures, saving screenshots), the simulation will not have full multi-core support until the release of Microsoft .NET 4.

We are expecting to release Universe Sandbox v2 before the release of .NET 4. Multi-core support will likely be added within a few months of .NET 4's release.

You need (a) an autosave the overwrites, and (b) an overwrite save feature.

The point by early 2010 was not to set a specific date, because it's hard to know exactly when you're finished. Last time he set a specific date, he wasn't sure, and look how many professional games that are released after the original release dates. Smiley

Thats true. I just would've thought he'd be so close to finishing by now that he would be able to pinpoint a more specific time slot!  Cheesy

I don't want to be any more specific than early 2010 because I don't want to make a promise I can't keep.
