Checking Your Planet

There are two programs available that will help you check your planet before you submit the files. The Tesla planet checker, which you can download by clicking the link above, will tell you about any problems that might stop your planet from loading.

You can also download a Fed2 simulator program that will allow you to walk through your planet and check that everything works, before it gets added to the game.
