Improved Atmosphere Visuals

This mod aims to improve the appearance of the vanilla planets' atmospheres. All planets have had their far cloud layers either moved to a lower altitude, or completely removed, to get rid of that ugly "planet in a bubble" look that makes certain planets look particularly bad in vanilla. The color, height, and intensity of atmospheric scattering effects have been changed for most planets as well. Combined with Space Just Got Real, this all makes for some pretty amazing looking planets, in my opinion.


I want to make this clear: This will not affect modded planets. This mod changes the definition files for the vanilla planets, and nothing more. Furthermore, there is no reason to modify the atmosphere values for modded planets. Modders create the same kind of files that I edited when they create new planets. I changed the vanilla atmosphere values because I think Keen could have done a better job. If you think a specific modder could have done a better job with their planets, then take it up with them.


This mod will not be compatible with anything that alters planet generator settings. This would include mods that alter ore distribution, gravity, atmosphere, or weather for vanilla planets. Due to this game's not-so-great modding system, I have to make a separate version of this mod for compatibility with any other mod. Check the list below for the ones that I have done that for.

This is compatible with Real Orbits as long as you have this mod at higher priority (higher in the list), and then you edit a world's save file to change the gravity falloff for all planets to 2, or use a pre-made world with gravity falloff already set to 2.

This is not compatible with Better Stone. I might get around to making a compatibility version at some point though.

If there are any other mods that you would want compatibility with, let me know in the comments and I will consider it.
