making phase lanes

from Sins Forums
I made a map, but forgot to put a particular phase lane in.

so i decided i had two options, 1. Bug p5y to make a Map editor where I can open maps to edit them

or 2. edit it myself

the first one had major problems, so I skiped it.

So I tried to make a new phase lane.

So I got something like this

connection
planetIndexA 28
planetIndexB -1
spawnProbability 1.000000
type "PhaseLane"

probabilty and type are obvious (aparently thier are more types of connections besides phase lanes!!!)

but what is a planet index?
I imagine it is the planet numbers to be connected, but why does it go negitive? I don't have any planets with a negitive designation!!

so what are they?

planetIndexA 28 ( would be plant/asteroid/whatever number 29 ) as the first planet is planet 0
planetIndexB -1 ( this would be the SUN )

all phase lanes go from A to B
