Some questions about map creation

[Suicide Junkie]

_the game freeze when I attempt to create Young map. Does anyone know why ?
1: Do you have the latest version of FQM?
2: Have you installed the imagemod planetpack?

_sometime the placeholder 1 system is use (for spiral arm for example). Can it be because the sum of all system chance is not 1000 ? (I don't have check that)
Possibly

_How is chosen the warp point/ringworld/sphereworld when you create one ? And the asteroid file/storm/planet ? I believe the second case is different from the first but I can't figure out how these work.
A random object which matches the conditions (type, size, atmosphere) is chosen from the "secttype.txt" file.

I wrote a program to analyse the data files and pull out statistics on what planets and colonies you will get for each race. It can tell you how many planets, facilities, population, resources and build rate per system you can expect based on your homeplanet type and atmosphere.

_Does the bad/medium/good starting planete check the actual size of the planéte or his position in PlanetSize ? (i.e. if the first entry of PlanetSize is 'Huge planéte' can it be chosen for a good start ?)
bad = Medium planet
medium = Large planet
good = Huge planet
However, if there is a moon orbiting that homeplanet, your people may accidentally be placed on the moon instead.

_If I create an ringworld, then destroy it with a modded planet killer, what happen ? Is there a new star that I can sphereworld or should I make a new star ? And if an asteroid belt is created can I change it into a sphereworld or an vanilla huge planet ? It can be fun to fill a system with 20 sphereworld in every square. (or even just hugue planet)
If you blow up a ring/sphereworld, you get a pile of asteroids and no star.
You can build a new star, though, with the sun creating component. Then you're free to build another ring/sphereworld.

Just a clarification on your last Q; sphere/ring worlds can only be built in sectors with a star. IOW, you can't make a system with 28 SW/RW's; the most is 3 (with a trinary system).

Unless he adds those 28 SW/RW's with the map editor. Doing so would allow him to have a system full of them.
