I recently had order # 3255 fullfilled but incorrectly. I asked to have each planet based off of Shedu Tier and not Houches I. I need to have these planets off of shedu tier so they are inline with the rest of my hub.
You can’t select the planet that your planet orbits. It’s random.

So the comments box at the end is not reviewed or considered?
I do think they review it, but some of the stuff is just automated… so while you may ask for something, it may not be that easy. I know people have asked for huge resource numbers, like “99% diamonds” and such, but that is also part of the automated system, not manually controlled by the devs. Asking for something that they don’t directly control probably won’t get a result.

Just does not seem very efficient especially when I am trying to tie in these worlds to a central hub.
I’ll just request for a refund if that’s the case.

Is it possible to just (slllllooowwwwwwwwllllly) find … then place … all the diamond seams in one location to make a massive farm?

Placed blocks will be replaced by the world. So once those diamond seams are destroyed, they won’t come back.

I think world regen would get rid of them before that.

It could depending on how long it is between placement and farming

I agree with OP you should be able to pick which world you orbit outright.

Surely there’s a limit, though …
I wouldn’t basically want my home world to only have a view of a bazillion orbiting planets.
I don’t say that loaded with entitlement, though … I just meant … purely … imagine how lame it would be to look up in the sky everyday and only see planets?

Ah … I thought if you created the world you at least had some say in how it was made up, otherwise what’s the point? My mistake!

I think the comments section is more basic things not specific requests about that order/ planet.
Well I did create the world but its not within the blinksecs of our Guilds Farming hub off of shedu Tier (Houches is like 42 bs away)…So I figured if I filled out the comments section that it would be taken into consideration… I pay for 4 planets and the GL pays for the other 4(his includes a 6km world).
The only level 6 planet not covered now would have been the metal planet. But given the comments by others. I’ll just ask for a refund. Just not worth my time arguing and playing a lottery system to get the results I am asking for.

They could also fix the portal system… above level 3 it’s a huge freaking mess.
James once mentioned that the blinksecs cost is to have portals mostly between the same region because a new player might wander off to a bad-ping region. I agree with that. I disagree with the implementation that you can’t stay in your zone for all level 4+ planets.

I spent around $100 trying to get a planet where I wanted one. No luck, so I let them all expire & I’m done with that

To be honest I’ve kept my feelings to myself for the most part until now, since I haven’t actually rented a planet. But as someone with very limited/extremely limited spare money I have really not felt motivated at all in renting even a single one-time/one-month only planet because I guess there’s a 50/50 chance it’s going to land either within 1 blinksec of me, or within about 51 blinksecs.
I would not want to use my rented world at all (a colour-mining one at that) if it was 51 blinksecs away. That feels unreasonable to me, and while I do completely understand the logic of not wanting 200 planets all orbiting a single location and all the effects of that, it really sucks that people are basically “gambling” (lightly put) to get a planet in a convenient location for them.
But I guess I should make the time to voice these thoughts and more in the actual release notes thread or something…

It will spawn in the region you select, but that’s all you can control. It may end up too far away for you to maintain a portal connection without stressing about it (depending on what type of activities you participate in).
I just wanted one close to one of my bases. I knew the location would be random, but d*mn…I shouldn’t have to spend more than $100 lol. So that’s all for me. I reclaimed everything except a temp base and the mall out of disappointment.
I get the whole procedural generation thing so that there is variety, but this stuff is just pure frustration imo. Hoping a future update has some good/fun things in it.
