IDIOT'S GUIDE TO FED2
PLANETARY CONSTRUCTION
SUBMITTING WORKBENCH FILES
Files that you have created yourself get uploaded to the game and linked in manually by Bella.
Once your planet files are ready, email them to feedback@ibgames.com and ask for them to be linked into the game.
Your email should include the following information:
Your Fed character name
The planet name
The system name
Your planet will normally appear in the Galaxy in a couple of days, although planet files generally only get linked at weekends. New planets show up when the game fires up after a reset.
Having submitted your files, you should stop work on the planet - don't make any further changes to the files until the planet actually opens up in the game. The reason is that Bella sometimes needs to make some changes to the files in order to get them to work. She will then mail you back a copy of the files, and you should save the files she sends you in the same place on your computer as the files you sent to her - you want to overwrite your original files with Bella's changed versions. Then you can carry on working and make further changes to the planet if you wish.
If you don't do this, then your copy of the files and the one that Bella has put into the game will be out of sync, and as a result one of two things will happen. Either you will lose the further changes you have made, or you will lose the changes that Bella made. The former is annoying; the latter could be a disaster.
Once you have got back the amended files from Bella - or she has told you that there were no problems with your files (it has been known to happen, occasionally!) then you can make any further changes to your planet, such as fixing typos and movement errors, or adding new locations. Updates to the files should also be mailed to feedback@ibgames.com, and will show up at reset in one or two days.
