Configuration Reference Guide

This category documents the settings that users can adjust in the current PlanetX codebase, grouped by their owning object and editor workflow. Names correspond to labels in Unreal Editor's Details panels or to their C++ property names. A default is the code default for a newly created object.

#Where each setting belongs

Document	Location	Main subjects
Planet Asset and Visual Settings	Planet Asset Editor, Surface Preset	Planet creation contract, Completion, Padding, Sections, Level Pairs, Preview, and Build
Proxy Bake Settings	PlanetX Proxy Bake Editor	Target Asset, Runtime Role, Source Scope, quality, output partitions, and execution memory
Runtime Actor and Component Settings	Actor and Component Details	Planet, Coordinate, Movement, Viewpoint, Travel Receiver, and Transition Endpoint
Proxy, Morph, and Preview Settings	Planet Proxy, Transition Morph, Runtime Preview	Presentation layers, surface correction, morph rendering, and runtime budget overrides
Environment Settings	Planet Asset Environment, Environment Manager	Atmosphere, clouds, sun, post process, space background, and level bindings
Project and Performance Settings	Project Settings > Plugins	Runtime budget policy and lens-flare quality

#Settings versus generated data

PlanetX reflected structures include user choices as well as bake output, runtime captures, query inputs, and diagnostic records.

User settings are documented here with their defaults, units, and effects.
Conditional settings are used only when a preceding toggle or mode enables them. Check the stated condition in each table.
Generated data is written by Proxy Bake or Visual Build. It should not be edited manually even when it is visible in Details.
Request and result structures are values supplied to individual function calls, not persistent project settings. Their fields are covered by the Public API Reference.

#Before changing defaults

Planet ID, Radius, and Coordinate Convention are creation-time Planet Asset contracts; they are not ordinary settings to revise on an existing Asset.
Proxy Bake Quality and Runtime Budget are independent. Quality can change generated output; changing Runtime Budget does not rebuild an existing bake.
When an Override toggle is off, the Component uses its Project Settings or Planet Asset source.
After changing Proxy Bake, Section placement, or visual settings, check the displayed stale state and rerun Bake or Apply & Build when required.
Before packaging, run Full Validate on the Planet Asset and Validate for the current World.

#Public code baseline

This reference is based on the public headers shipped with PlanetX 1.0 under:

Source/PlanetX/Public/PlanetX

A type appearing in a public header is not, by itself, a general user setting. This reference covers editor-adjustable values, project configuration, and public operation options; pipeline-generated payloads and captures are identified separately.
