Probably, why though? Just for small file size?

yes, i dont ewant to waste file size on a star bione map, especially for a neutron star that you cant even get close to

I like doing star biome maps.  It gives purpose to putting a vessel into a polar orbit around the star to reach new biomes.  And there's no reason the spaceAltitudeThreshold has to be placed dangerously close to a star.  Place the threshold high enough that it's possible to collect science "in space low" using a vessel with adequate thermal protection.  This again gives purpose to a new mission type.

That being said, to answer your question, yes, a biome map can have just one biome.  Just make the map one solid color.  But you're not saving all that much file size by making it a single color versus multi-color.  Also, if you make the biomes something simple, like different latitude bands, you don't need much resolution.  So just make the biome map small, perhaps something like 512x256 or even smaller.

But if you want just one biome, I don't think you even need a biome map.  Looking at sun's kittopia dump, it doesn't have biomes.  It appears that if there is no biome map or biomes, it behaves like it has just one global biome.

thanks for the advice, but i do think that realistically, a craft would vaporize in the je- wait a second... i have an idea...
