One has to be smarter than the GAME to know that it is sheer fantasy and not even remotely based on science. In short, anyone who uses Universe Sandbox 2 to teach children are doing their children a serious disservice and giving them completely bogus information. The weather system they created for this GAME is a joke and intended to push a specific ideological agenda rather than based on science. Absolutely every stellar explosion in the GAME is a core-collapse supernova. It does not allow the transfer of mass from one object to another. It is based entirely on Newtonian mechanics and nothing else. Universe Sandbox 2 does not include quantum mechanics as has been erroneously claimed. Nobody who knows anything about astrophysics would ever attempt to use Universe Sandbox 2 as an educational tool, they would be laughed out of the profession. Those who think Universe Sandbox 2 is some kind of educational tool are obviously lacking the education to comprehend that it is not. Other than the n-body feature of the GAME, it is entirely fictional with no bearing on reality whatsoever. Universe Sandbox 2 is about as realistic as a animated cartoon is to the real-world. However, the Legacy version does not include all the fictional crap they included in Universe Sandbox (formerly version 2). When it comes to Newtonian N-Body mechanics both versions do it very well, and worth the money on just that basis alone. Everything else is pure fiction and not even remotely based upon science. The only thing that resembles reality in Universe Sandbox is the Newtonian N-Body mechanics.

The name change didnt take away anything ! I truly hope you are not using this game as a teaching tool. The first time it was just inside our current Earth orbit line, they happily passed eachother and did not collide, year after year, but things in the outer system got all funky after about 100 years.!!! No matter where I put it now, I cant seem to repeat it. I slapped two earths into one orbit, opposite each other in relation to sun, they lasted 400 years before Ceres decided to head for our moon !!!!!!!!
#UNIVERSE SANDBOX 2 STEAM SALES TV#
This program has taught my kids so much, when they visualise the solar system now they actually comprehend whats going on, and TV alone could not really achieve this, with this program you can change your view, that give the kids a really good sense of whats where and doing what, this program, Ive said before, should be a part of every schools education program in the entire country, and maybe even every country of the western world.

Then go run that simulation, hehe, fascinating. Think of it like a merging Star, wham bam holey crap man ! As I'm sure you are already working on accomplishing, I would highly advise against pulling the same bait and switch tactics you did with the first game devs.Originally posted by piddlefoot:hahaha, dont you love it when a plan comes together ! For instance, I would absolutely refund Universe Sandbox 1 if possible, but can't. Good thing Steam rolled out the easy refunds because now those who seek to abuse the system will be in for quite a disappointment. Call it however you want but companies are abusing early access more and more recently in order to turn a quick profit on unfamiliar player bases. Who ever came up with this early access idea really struck gold being able to persuade people into buying an unfinished game and any criticism whatsoever is directly handed to the fact that it is an "early build". Theres a reason game alphas and betas are almost always internal only (and thus non-profitized). and suggestion process, as well as bugs and testing Originally posted by Alidar:Unfortunately there are too many people out there that buy a game while it is still in the Alpha and Beta stages without any idea what Alphas and Betas really are, most of them just think that a game being in Alpha or Beta means that they get special early access to a finished product before other people, they have no idea that Betas are unfinished testing products, and that Alphas in most cases are barely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ products that in most cases manufacturers usually only test in house, but in the last few years due to limited resources in the industry, have been giving potential customers to assist with in order to not just test new features and weed out bugs like in a Beta, but too also help in the Idea.
