More Smoke

Description
This mod changes the game particles so, when you drill or drive through some type of surface materials like earth sand or mars soil, it will emit more smoke and the smoke will last longer.

For now it affects only:
* Mars Soil
* Earth Sand
(will add more materials later like moon dust)

Deep materials, ores and stone not chaged.

I also changed the smoke effects of atmospheric thrusters on ice and other materials, it start to emit only when the thruster is at 5 meters or less relative to ground.

DISCLAIMER: I tested it with a GTX 1070 and didn't got any noticeable FPS drop caused by the additional smoke, but if you're using a low end card, you should expect some.

I did some experiments with the wheels smoke but, when driving, most of the time we're looking forward, so the extra smoke were cool only in MP, if there's also a friend nearbly to see it. But that's also a problem because the game limits the range of smoke rendering (for performance reasons). That's why i left wheels smoke out of the mod.

Can you make it work for wheeled vehicles too please?

Shame this only works with atmo thrusters, it looks great

I checked it out and it works amazingly. Atleast your mod is working better then my airship right now, the stopping power was less then expected. This mod made the crash spectacular.

I love it.
Now those atompshereic thrusters need to get clogged up with all that smoke XD

@Kronk Nice to hear that you liked. Next version i will also change the smoke particles for some moon and alien surface materials.

I also have plans to change the smoke of the atmospheric thruster when it's near ground, to make it similar to a real helicoter landing in a desert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIQY1O2wXts
