Minus one hour so far.

I specialize in making complex orbits that end up colliding eventually (bwahaha) although I did make one stable binary star system with two planets!

4 stars in perfect clover-shaped orbit!

Edit: Just kidding. After about 60 time units at the super accurate setting they spiraled out of control, ALMOST stabalized into two binary orbits, and then all four of them collided. Whoops, there goes that star system..

We're whalers on the moon! We carry a harpoon! But there ain't no whales so we tell tall tales and we sing our whalin' tune!

I'm trying to make a Tatooine esque planetary system (Binary star, planet with moon), but it seems impossible. The moon keeps getting kicked out.
