Special planet type as homeworld?

from GalCiv2 Forums
Should've made one question topic for my questions but it's too late now...

I think this has been answered but i can't find the answer with search or anything...

Is possible to mod a homeplanet to be (for example) Aquatic world? I think that Torian world should be aquatic... i'd love to make it so.
If it's not possible, could this be changed in 2.0?

yes. as long as it is only one planet in the customplanets.xml then you can.also put the file in your mod file so it does not get rewritten back to OEM.
I`ll look up the post for you.

True, but i figured something else about this tricky stuff since that thread went on; only one extreme planet can be inserted in a system AND, it must be last (even if it is to become the Homeworld) in the list as written in the CP.xml, otherwise anything after gets to be randomized by the engine as usual.
XW-Planets P_09-C version still has that "simple" flaw in it since the Aquatoid's 3rd (Aquiz) didn't register as an extreme like it should have been unless given the last spot in the group. I'll fix that one and many more occurances of misplaced extremes in the next version.

I haven't tested for two or more though. Maybe it would work, somehow.

Cool. That's something will propably use with my mod. Or mods. Or mod regular game to be more realistic with this.
