Default Generating more moons for game

I'd like to generate a map with more moons on the planets. I know a while back that there was something mentioned about that. I think it was just a matter of changing one of the .txt (SystemTypes.txt) files? I just want to do a one time map generation from within the game startup menu. I just want the game to use the default planets for this so I'm not looking at a mod.

The game generates its maps using those files, naturally.

So either you change the files to add more tiny planets with "same as X" for their locations, or you make some moons in the map editor.

SJ, I thought that there was a parameter you could change in the SystemTypes.txt file that would generate more moons on a map. I guess I could try the FQM, but like I said, I want to use all default settings for the map. So if the FQM needes the Component packs to fill out the planets in its generation then I don't want to use it.

Thanks for the heads up Grandpa Kim!

FQM Standard makes maps compatible with the stock game.
