When is a planets decoration generated, the answer is inside.

k, now try to not get mad or rage, I'm going to take your post and step through what you said and point out the errors, that "I" think are there and also the points I agree with. I'm sure your a good person too, don't take it personally. (Remember this is only what I think, (it could be wrong).)

 

1) every point isn't made unless someone goes to that location, thus generating the area. this is incorrect, every area is there when the seed is determined, you just have to go there to see what was generated.

I would agree with you, I think that is the blatantly obvious and the most obvious explanation that everyone immediately comes to. But after reviewing the video from the programmers on the game its not as clear to me now, its very ambiguous.

For example when you blow up a space station or do something that affects the universe, that change is saved, in the video they talk about serializing all the data points, seeds and saving on a server.

2)you speak about the space stations being destroyed as if that is a factor in the generation, it is not it is merely an action that players can do that would be saved to the main servers so that if another player went there, there would be a destroyed space station

I agree, I did not say it was a factor in "generation". Infact I think your definition of generation and mine are different.

3) you keep referencing this conference and provide no context each time someone asks you for it, I've followed this game from its announcement and every comment of yours that I read is confused.

The conference is copyright, I am not allowed to share it, but I posted some of the information above. Its a 42 minute video, it would take to long to transcribe it all.
