I am trying to figure out how to add custom constellations to the sector, but I'm not getting anywhere. Can someone provide a working code example?

Figured out my problem thanks to Soren. Turns out you have to have two systems in a constellation for it to show up. IMO I should be able to create arbitrary one-system constellations, but whatever.

For future reference, here's a partial code example that covers the essentials of adding a constellation.

Code: java

        // Create the constellation
        Constellation constellar = new Constellation(ConstellationType.NORMAL, StarAge.AVERAGE);
        constellar.setNamePick(new NamePick(new NameGenData("null", "null"), "Constellation Name", null));

        // Get the systems, or generate them in this case
        StarSystemAPI xSystem = XSystem.generate(sector);
        StarSystemAPI ySystem = YSystem.generate(sector);

        // Add the systems to the constellation
        constellar.getSystems().add(xSystem);
        constellar.getSystems().add(ySystem);

        // Yes, you have to link both ways
        xSystem.setConstellation(constellar);
        ySystem.setConstellation(constellar);
