Universe Sandbox

[Timmy811]

There's a new game on steam that allows you to play around with the solar system. Move planets around, make them bigger, etc. Only $3.99

Seems very intuitive too use. As you can see in the screen shot it was easy for me to make Mars the same mass, density and size as Earth.

Perfect for people interested in ASB timelines.

I remember something like this from the late 80s. much simpler of course.

Universe Sandbox isn't exactly new - I've owned it for around a year at least.

I've never really played around with it that much. It's not really fun, and I don't really want to put a load of work in designing a star system for no real purpose.

New to me.

I had plenty of fun putting a few dozen Neptunes into orbit around Saturn and watching the results.

and I don't really want to put a load of work in designing a star system for no real purpose.

There are plenty of folks here though that would find it useful for ASB timelines though.
