without some idea of what you did, I don't know. You missed something, or it would be working. celestial file needs editing terrestrial_worlds needs TWO entries for each biome the main biome file the parallax if using your own the celestial/horizons/ stuff for each biome (liquids, horizon graphic etc) and then any odds and ends mentioned in the tutorial
Dear everyone, I made some progress with the mod but sadly I'm stuck again. I get the error "Fatal Exception caught: (JsonException) No such key in Json::get("tentaclenew")" (I'm trying to recreate the old tentacle biome with some tweaks of my own, for a bigger mod of mine) I looked through all my files and made sure to check them with this JSON validator http://jsonlint.com/ and they all appear to be valid. I could upload the files of my mod if needed?

you havent defined "tentaclenew". That is why you are having that error. It can't generate what doesn't exist. Chances are you missed a single entry somewhere, leaving it as an older value. It's a common error, and has happened to me more than a few billion times good job on linting your code though. always a good idea. Sadly, linting doesn't check definitions , so that still needs manually doing. i'd start at the top of the .biome file and make sure youve named it "tentaclenew" and then doing the same in any place that you are calling on the biome to generate. and especially in the terrestrial_worlds file
Thank you so much! this is a great help, I had no idea where to start Lovely guide, btw. Very clear and to the point!
not yet.. i checked every entry of the name but couldn't find any mistakes! I'm looking into it later again
chances are, its something super-simple you forgot to change. Possible: you've set the celestial file to spawn it, but forgotten an entry for it in the terrestrial_worlds file. Thus, it tries to spawn it and then goes "uh...except that you haven't told me HOW to generate it". I'd start there.
Is there a way to change the frequency in which these will spawn. I've gotten no errors, but I'm having trouble finding one(and I'm using a brand new universe).
Ah, that's the big pain in the ass, right there. You have to rely on random gen. there are two ways to approach this. One, set celestial.config to ONLY spawn your biome around the star types so that they always appear for you. the other, the way i usually do it, is just set the White (Gentle) stars to spawn only that type of biome. Afterwards, set it back to how it was.
Which is why I said in your other thread to learn the basics of modding first. http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/unofficial-modding-ebook.2930/ Trying to help you when you don't understand the basics is pointless.
