Editing - The Magrathean Planetary Engineering Option
This is a powerful utility, but it can cause unexpected problems if you don't
know what you are doing. Remember the following points;
1: Systems are stored as strings with the first two bytes showing Y and X
coordinates, the following bytes determine the Z coordinate, then the
star(s) and planets, in the order innermost to outermost orbit (the
primary is orbit 0). Any changes affect all subsequent bodies.
2: There is nothing to stop you making absurd changes; for example, putting a
world with an oxygen atmosphere at an orbit equivalent to Mercury or
Pluto. Use your own judgement.
3: NO CHANGES ARE PERMANENT UNTIL YOU SAVE THE SECTOR.
For more information press keys as follows;
[P] Edit Primary star [O] Change Orbiting planet / star
[Z] Change Z-Coordinate [D] Delete System
[G] Generate a new system [M] Look at detailed maps
[S] Security toggle [C] Cancel all edits
[X] Exit with changes <SPACE> to exit help.
