For a new star system, I want to make a world that has life on it but is not capable of spaceflight. I want it to have a custom continent, I've been trying to use the paint tool in the planet studio designer, and I deactivated the ignore map setting for the planet. What else should I do so I can make custom continents?
Each time I have tried to make a custom continent, it either wouldn't show up or would just partially fill in the spot that was colored in on the continent map.

    if you mean that it is possible to use the drawing thing on a phone, then probably yes (in theory) but it's probably very difficult due to the small screen

    @Zenithspeed is it possible to draw from the phone?

    @Zenithspeed Thank you for the information, I'll try that out. Hopefully with any luck, I can get the continent drawn along with its island that is located in the gulf of said continent.

    i'd say draw the fundamental shape of the continent at first, with a large brush at like 40-70% hardness, once you're done with that, get a smaller brush with 60-90% hardness to draw in the details on the edge and whatnot
    and be sure to remember what your base/background/ocean color value was (in most cases its either 128 or 0) so that you can make indentations, gulfs, rivers, etc
    as for the stuff not showing up, yeah that's been a bug for a while, i usually suffer with there being very obvious seams between the 6 "sides" of the drawn stuff, which looks super goofy (and is the main reason why i don't use the planet brush too often)
