Default Unbreathable homeworld

Hello all -

been playing since se2, stopped for a couple years, and now im gettin back into the swing of things. I bought se4 gold, installed the latest devnullmod for se4 gold, and started playing. I started off with a sweet system - three planets breathable, and one was extra huge (an added size in devnull from what I understand)... and then my jaw hit the floor when I saw that my home planet was domed! I couldn't breathe... on my home planet

I never had this problem in se4 gold without mods, so I assume its because of the devnull mod. Any thoughts? Is there some way I can make it so that homeworlds are always breathable?

Thanks in advance
-Tim

What planets are in that sector?

It could happen if your homeworld is located in a system with moons (at least, it happened with me under such circumstances). The moon may be chosen as homeworld instead of the proper planet, and there might be other oddities such as having too much population on this planet.

Indeed, that was the problem! I remember starting the game in the same sector as a medium-sized oxygen/rock planet as my homeworld's moon, and I thought what luck!... but little did I know... my homeworld was actually a medium-sized rock with NO atmosphere. Thanks - that cleared it up!

I have made lots of system type entries with many systems having moons around planets, particulary gas giants - can the described problem be avoided by listing moons always after the parent planet in the data? Or is the only way to avoid this problem is by making this systems off-limits to homeworlds?

If the moons are of a size that can be selected as a homeworld, they will be selected as a homeworld. You have to mark that system as unable to be a home system.
