Planets don't work as populations either. (ducks behind sofa) Pretty sure they're procedural.

Actually it looks like I was wrong about the spheres being procedural, they seem to be polygonal after all, so there must be some other reason they don't work.

They are procedural in the sense that they rely on the internal sphere geometry shader to make them spherical, but they are displaced from a low-poly base mesh. This reliance on the sphere geometry shader is the reason they can't be set up for populations yet.
