Better Looking Planets

Description
Description
===========================

This mod edits most of the vanilla planets to make them look a bit nicer. Everything that this mod changes is visual and will not have any significant impact on the gameplay.

Compatibility
===========================

This mod is not compatible with any mod that modifies the vanilla planets. If this mod is not working for you, it's probably because another mod is trying to replace the same files this mod does. I have made a version of this mod that is compatible with scarce resources, which can be found below. Also, this mod is compatible with old saves, this means you should be able to add it to a preexisting world without things breaking (assuming it's not conflicting with another mod).

So, found a thing that fixed/caused it.

It seems weather adds it's own bubble around the planet that makes it look similar to vanilla, but it isn't actually reverting it to vanilla. The mod is fully working, but I have to disable weather to make it actually not look like shit.

Maybe that's a bit of a simple fix to enable it to not have the silly bubble around it? I kinda do like weather, but I understand if it's not a thing that's gonna happen.

I don't know how late I am to the party here in giving a bug report, but my atmospheres aren't updating to the better visuals. My textures are fine and look great, but the atmospheres are still vanilla. Am I missing something or...?

The atmospheres should end at the same height as they do in vanilla.
Cynical Nerdist 1 Sep, 2022 @ 2:20pm 
Visually, this changes the height of the atmospheres, does it change it functionally as well?
