Aquatic planet as homeplanet?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I'm trying to make my own star system, and I would like to have an aquatic homeplanet. But the problem is that the planet still remains "habitable by all", although I put this line in the CustomPlanets file : TerrainPalette>Aquatic(the < at the beginning and the > at the end is missing, cause otherwise you could only read "aquatic").
Now it looks like an aqatic planet, but it isn't.
What else do I have to change, or is it not possible at all?

DA supports a new tag for picking the special environment types in CustomPlanets.xml: <PlanetType> </PlanetType>. Just add that tag to the planet definition, and give it a value from the following list:

HabitableByAll
HeavyGravity
Aquatic
Toxic
Barren
Radioactive

That will make the planet the type you specified.


But I believe that homeworlds will ignore any planettype tags (you can set it on other planets in the home system, though).

I tried this a while ago and it didn't work.

Or rather it half-worked. Althought it worked fine for the planet specified, it messed up another planet in the same system. See my original (unanswered) post WWW Link
