Better Gas Giants

Description
This is a simple mod that increases the satellite spawn chance on Gas Giants to 90% as well as making them appear bigger in the sky to be a tad bit more realistic.

This should be compatible with most mods. For sure it is compatible with True Space.

Anything that does not edit these in celestial.config should be compatible:
/planetaryTypes/GasGiant/satelliteProbability
/planetaryTypes/GasGiant/variationParameters

Anything that still uses the vanilla JSON variable /planetaryTypes/GasGiant in celestial.config should be compatible. This edit does the bare minimum it needs to do, nothing more, nothing less.

Known Incompatible Mods:
Frackin' Universe (their gas giants are different)
Landable Gas Giants

This basically means you can easily use it or modify it without permission or needing to credit me. (although it would be cool if you did) This mod will be provided as is and I will not adapt or port it to work with other mods, but feel free to do so yourself. The most I can and most likely will do is update it if it breaks in vanilla.

i would also like to mention that, contrary to what gmAN has said, this does still function perfectly fine without any crashes whatsoever

No and there will not be. I will no longer maintain my mods for this game as I no longer play it. The source code is available on github if you want to port it to FU though. It's MIT licensed so you can basically do whatever you want with it.

is there a FU version?

Just letting you all know the mod causes the game to crash on startup.
Mod's over a year old so understandable. Thanks for making it!

I have not tested it, I just looked at the mod files themselves back in the day to confirm it is not compatible. Either the game will crash due to a conflict of it trying to edit the same parameters, or nothing will happen to the Landable Gas Giant planets as they are likely different planet types all together.

In the known incompatible mods Landable Gas Giants is included. How do they conflict and will it break my game if I have both?

ah ok. Thanks for letting me know though.

It will only affect new planets generated in your world.

Even though the generation is already made once you start the game. does the Gas Giant Size get changed if I install the mod mid playthrough? I kinda want the adjusted size even though I know the generation wouldn't happen an already existing game.

This looks awesome!
If I already have a colonized planet on a gas giant, does adding this mod will alter the look of the parallax backdrop to show the bigger gas giant?
Thanks
