I've been looking through the xml's and didn't find what I was looking for.

I was curious if it was possible to not just give a certain custom faction a specific planet type to start on, but also specific anomalies or planet sizes. Does anyone know if those kind of "traits" are possible and if so where I need to look?

Hey DarkMatter88!

It's unfortunately impossible to modify the starting anomalies or the size of home planets:

- The anomalies will be spawned if the empire has the descriptor "FactionTraitStartWithPositiveAnomaly" or "FactionTraitStartWithNegativeAnomaly", from a list that's not defined in XML (it's in a prefab, which you cannot edit as they are compiled when we build the .exe).

- The planet size is forced to Medium in the Galaxy generator code, regardless of the other stats of the system or planet.

Thank you for the answer, though I expected as much.

It's always better to have it confirmed. ^^

EDIT: Regardless, is it possible to create a mod where you'd be able to construct an anomaly? There is already a mod to terraform planets into bigger sizes, but I suspect anomalies are completely different category and thus can't be implemented this way?
