No Caverns

Description
Has an inopportune plunge ever left you at the mercy of gravity?
Or, are you just frustrated by the abundance of caverns in the base game?

Even if none of these apply: this mod exists now.

ONLY REMOVES CAVES FROM UNEXPLORED/UN-GENERATED PLANET SYSTEMS.

SUPPORTED MODS
  • FrackinUnivese
  • Elithian_Races_Mod

NOTES
Many structures may look very similar to caves, but are NOT naturally generated caves/terrain. Even the dark cavern at the beginning of Frackin Universe isn't a natural cave. To Starbound, a cavelike dungeon just as similar to a USCM base, as a natural cave is to the hills on the surface of a planet.

Although it isn't necessary, I recommend having NoClueHunt because many objects needed for story progression will not spawn without caves.

MY FIRST WORKSHOP SUBMISSION
Since this is the first actual mod I created, I would like to share some things I learned/did during my suffering its development. You can read my outline in the discussions tab.

It would be nice if there were a mod that allowed for a configurable reduction in cave spawn rate, but I would understand if that's not something your able to make, basically any kind of Starbound mod is well beyond what I could make.

@Aultori
could you please explain the process to me so i can mod my own game then? i really hate the amount of caves in basegame but some caves are necessary for certain things to spawn, and i'd like to have a happy medium between your mod and unmodded starbound if possible. any help would be appreciated, thx!

yes

is it possible to simply reduce the amount of caves? how does cave gen in starbound work anyway? like is it possible to make the cave spawnrate of all planets the same as one that doesn't have an asston of caves?

now for the low cost of your soul, your ambition, your happienes, and your passion, you can make mining even more dreadfully boring!

If it's not too much to ask, could you please make a version that simply reduces the amount of caves in stead of removing them?

Wait, you can change the cave generation? Wasn't expecting that at all
