How to place a planet at the center of the system?

[Mitchz95]

I've been trying to do this for a mod I'm working on, but it's running into some trouble. When I place the planet at the center (where the star would normally be) it turns invisible. If I place it close to the center (orbit_distance = 5) it appears tilted on its side and turns invisible again if I zoom in on it.

Are there any mods that do this successfully? Any tips I could use to fix mine?

My knowledge of Stellaris modding is tenuous, but...

Have you tried making a star that functions as a planet instead of a planet that functions as a star? If you haven't already, what about adding "star = yes" to the planet class?

I did try this, but it applies the star light to the planet and I can't figure out how to remove it.

Have you tried "star_gfx = no"?

Didn't know that was an option, thanks!

I still have to offset it for the day side to appear correctly, but I guess I can live with it.
