PLANETS WITH TWO-WORD NAMES

by Hazed

I recently updated the Workbench manual because a player pointed out that it gave no information about the filenames you should use when you design a planet that has a two-word name.

The info that was missing is that, since filenames cannot have spaces in them, you should join the two words together to form the filename. So if your planet is going to be called New World, then the filename for the map would be newworld.loc.

Of course, you are not limited to two words... planet names can have lots of spaces in them, so you could call it Brave New World, with a filename of bravenewworld.loc. Or Really Really Very Brave New World if you want to make it difficult for people to check prices on the planet!
