Planet Galados V

Description
Planet Galados V
Made for the Guardians Vanilla PvPvE Server

Story
Galados V was once a lush forest planet with a temperate climate, similar to earth. it was newly discovered and had a very small colony of prospecting settlers. While off planet to purchase supplies one of the settlers purchased an interesting looking plant from a trader. He brought the plant back to keep by the window of their house. The trader sat it outside unattended one day for sun and by the end of the day the plant had overgrown the farm. By the end of the month the plant had overgrown the small settlement and began turning the ground into a gooey living substance. The alien substance wasn't harmful to the settlers but it kept spreading and absorbing every bit of moisture out of the air. The oceans began to shrink as rain became less frequent and lowlands eroded into dust. The alien plant life had a harder time terraforming the new dust and sand than the grassy hills where it had started. The last remnants of the native green earth-like plants form a few small oasis around frozen lakes where a tiny fraction of the air is still breathable.

Details
On Galados V you'll find wide deserts, large frozen lakes, new custom alien flora, expansive weather system with 6 new weather types that dramatically change gameplay, canyons for rover and aero racing, and rover friendly trails and switchbacks around the north pole.

Notice
Minor changes to terrain and voxel types may be made to adjust resource balance, and improve gameplay experience for the GV server. Extreme care was taken to remove all heightmap seams, but some may exist. If they do, please take a screenshot from high altitude and send to me so I can fix it.
Notice 2
This planet replaces AlienGreenGrass and Ice3 voxel materials with my custom Alien red grass and the reflective water ice. Due to these changes, the will also affect any Alien Planet and Titan (I think) that you have in the world. This was done to retain the rover wheel engine sound and particle effects, since I could not find the SBC to modify for new custom voxels to keep those effects. This should be fixed now with fully custom voxel materials linked properly to vanilla material properties.

Thank you to ShardExtra who provided the initial heightmaps from Safina V2 that allowed me to learn how to make planets! Please give his planet a look as well: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2157163302

Can i reupload an unlisted version of this planet for a server I am working on, I want to change the ores

This is amazing! I love the balance of this world. Nice flat areas with enough mountains and canyons to make it interesting, some oasis areas with small resources but sparse enough to still encourage exploration. The colors, atmosphere and weather effects make it different than all of the standard planets with endless copies all over the workshop.

@Mike Dude HI, I would like to know if I could possibly reupload this planet to raise the ores for my server "Heavy Engineers".

Thanks!

Never mind, I see the clouds now in a local save. The issue is likely with the dedicated server config.

Sadly, yes, that's exactly how planets work. For some reason it doesn't say anything for stock planets, but for modded ones we see this "error". KEEEN!

Pretty cool world with interesting lighting and a nice blend of mountains and drivable areas.
Neither I nor another player can see the clouds though and the log file states that this file cannot be found: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\2213459320\Textures/Models/Environment/Sky/AlienSky.dds
Is that a Keen bug? Because it looks just like the vanilla definition for the Alien planet.

@The World is it easy to alter a world to use procedural ore generator?

Hey Mike. Do you mind if I also reupload your world. I wanted to remap ores for a Ganymede Server Im working on. :)
