Description


Current version: 1.0
Please refer to the changelog for patch notes.


This mod changes the skybox to one ideally suited for creative building. It features a dark grey background with grid lines and axi labels in their corresponding colors, giving the appearance of a modelling application such as Blender.

AQD - A Quantum of Depth is a project of mine, encompassing multiple small and larger mods aimed at improving the gameplay experience and eventually overhauling larger parts of the game:





New Skybox
This skybox features a grid as a background, with axi denoted by label and color. The mod by SISK which is listed as a dependency is loaded automatically and will remove the sun sprite, as it has been replaced entirely by stronger ambient light. Together with the dark grey background color, this makes the skybox very comfortable to look at for extended periods of time.

  • The skybox does not work on / near planets as this mod replaces the sun with ambient light. On planets / in their vicinity, this ambient light is disabled in favour of separate planet-based settings. However, there is no ambient light equivalent on planets. The result is total darkness.

12k people subscribed to this mod. If it was broken, it would be more than three people complaining. I actively use it in my own world, and just tested it again. It works fine if you're not in a planet's atmosphere, as explained in the description. If you can't be bothered to read, there's no helping you.

Followed instructions. Blind screen for me also. Broken.

Please read the description, this exact issue is explained.

Same here. Hud only. World seems to exist, but I'm blind. Did the TS in the thread and it's not working. It's sad. I love the modpack and I use the whole thing, but I guess this one has to be left out.

No same thing happened to me, which is why I am here to see if it was a known issue. Basically just showed a blank screen, but I could hear myself moving around and had Block screens on my HUD*^ Not sure what caused this to disrupt

ummm strange i just created a new empty world save with this and the required mod nothing else and it is not working.

Is there any command to toggle the skybox to something darker? Sometimes I want to adjust lighting in my designs and it's more difficult.

because the effect outside is achieved by turning up the ambient light. that still needs to reach wherever you are

Why doesn't this work on the inside of my ships? on the outside it works great but inside ships i get the usual darkness if there's no lights
