Now with the economy in the 0.65 update, i assume that adding star systems and factions to the game are way more difficult.
Has anyone made a tutorial on this? If so, please give me a link.
Thanks.

You'll know when we know

Without even beginning to dive into the java side, here is a rough overview of some of the more significant changes you need to be aware of for the campaign.

Its more or less the same, what really changed was the addition of a economy and markets that need to be setup with the new systems. Those however are also simple enough, but right now, due to a few problems on the current 0.65 version that are being fix on the next hotfix, we wont be able to help much.

Once their fixed, a few mods will immediately jump into 0.65.2a and u'll be able to see the how-to

Okay, thanks for the information guys!

FYI: Here is a method creating an economy with compiled code:

Code: java

    private void addMarketplace(String factionID, SectorEntityToken primaryEntity, ArrayList<SectorEntityToken> connectedEntities, String name, int size, ArrayList<String> marketConditions, ArrayList<String> submarkets, float tarrif) {
        EconomyAPI globalEconomy = Global.getSector().getEconomy();

        String planetID = primaryEntity.getId();
        
        //generate the market ID
        String marketID = planetID + "_market"; 
        
        //generate the market
        MarketAPI newMarket = Global.getFactory().createMarket(marketID, name, size);
        
        //set the faction associated with the market
        newMarket.setFactionId(factionID);
        
        //set the primary entity related to the market
        newMarket.setPrimaryEntity(primaryEntity);
        
        //set the base smuggling value (starting value)
        newMarket.setBaseSmugglingStabilityValue(0);
        
        //set the starting tarrif, could also make this value an input
        newMarket.getTariff().modifyFlat("generator", tarrif);
        
        //add each sub-market types to the mark
        if (null != submarkets){
            for (String market: submarkets){
                newMarket.addSubmarket(market);
            }
        }
        
        //add each market conditions
        for (String condition : marketConditions) {
            newMarket.addCondition(condition);
        }
        
        //add all connected entities to this marketplace, moons/stations etc.
        if (null != connectedEntities) {
            for (SectorEntityToken entity : connectedEntities) {
                newMarket.getConnectedEntities().add(entity);
            }
        }
        
        //add the market to the global market place
        globalEconomy.addMarket(newMarket);
        
        //get the primary entity and associate it back to the market that we've created
        primaryEntity.setMarket(newMarket);
        
        //get all associated entities and associate it back to the market we've created
        if (null != connectedEntities) {
            for (SectorEntityToken entity : connectedEntities) {
                entity.setMarket(newMarket);
            }
        }
    }

here is usage of this method:

Code: java

        PlanetAPI rocky2 = system.addPlanet("uaf_shizuka", star, "Shizuka", "rocky_unstable", 175, 60, 3432, 125);
        PlanetAPI rocky2moon1 = system.addPlanet("uaf_shizuka_kai", rocky2, "Shizuka Kai", "rocky_metallic", 305, 10, 100, 3);

        addMarketplace("uaf_d", //faction ID
                rocky2, //primary entity
                new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList((SectorEntityToken) rocky2moon1)), //list of associated entities
                "Ryoko Mining Facility", //name of the market
                3, //market size
                new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(Conditions.ARID, Conditions.ORE_COMPLEX, Conditions.OUTPOST, Conditions.FRONTIER, Conditions.STEALTH_MINEFIELDS, Conditions.POPULATION_3)), //market conditions
                new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(Submarkets.SUBMARKET_STORAGE, Submarkets.SUBMARKET_BLACK, Submarkets.SUBMARKET_OPEN)), //submarkets
                0.3f //tarrif
        );

What about faction creation? Has it changed?
