Water Mod - Planet Chimera & Moon Zira

Description
Planet Chimera
Chimera is a planet covered in lush forest, high snow capped peaks and beautiful sandy beaches that go on forever with many islands and continents surrounded by oceans and rivers and the high mountains at the poles covered in snow.

• Difficulty: Easy
• Gravity: 1.0g
• Oxygen: %95
• Wind Speed: 88
• Atmosphere Density: %122
• Climate: Day: Warm / Night: Cold
• Lifeforms: wolves (if activated within your game)
• Ore below ground: Iron, Nickel, Cobalt, Silver, Gold, Silicon, Magnesium, Uraninite.
• Recommended planet Size: 120 km.
• Custom height map.
• Custom Rock and Snow voxel textures and some vanilla ones.
• Custom grass textures.
• Custom weather settings: Chimera Wind Storm, Chimera Fog Light, Chimera Rain Heavy, Chimera Snow Light, Chimera Storm Heavy.
• Water Mod will automatically create the ocean with all its needed settings upon spawning the planet.
• Platinum can be found on Chimera but only in small amounts in boulders found on the surface of the planet and larger amounts will be found on the moon Zira.
• Players will receive damage when diving beyond 300m and you would need to be in a pressurized vessel to dive further.
• The maximum ocean depth is around 1000m in various places and once you dive beyond 300m an extra ambient sound was added to create some creepy sounds of the deep.


Moon Zira
Zira is a moon with high peaks found at the poles capped with ice and in places a smooth but yet rocky area that rounds the belt of the moon suitable for travel with a rover, it is a beautiful place but a harsh life awaits you.

• Difficulty: Normal
• Gravity: 0.16g
• Oxygen: None
• Wind Speed: 0
• Lifeforms: None
• Atmosphere Density: 0
• Climate: Day: Freezing / Night: Freezing
• Ore below ground: Silicon, Cobalt, Silver, Magnesium, Gold, Platinum, Nickel
• Recommended planet Size: 33 km.
• Custom height map.
• Custom Rock, Soil and Ice voxel textures.

Iron ore can only be found around the central belt of the moon and is located in the large deep pits found on the surface, at the bottom of these large pits you will find the iron ore about 5m below the surface.

Ice ore can only be found at the poles of the moon, there is no ice nodes beneath the ground.

Ore nodes can be found around the central belt of the moon but not in the large deep pits where the iron ore can be found, you will find that the closer you get to the poles of the moon there maybe less ore nodes around the ice areas of the moon but it is not to say it can't be found under some of the ice areas.

Can confirm Chimera spawns with moon textures and no plantlife, unsure if load order specific or just game updates breaking mods

does this planets have tides like the water lvl changes on is own or is it buggy?

The planet seems to only be made of stone when I load in the world. No sand or grass.

Reloaded the world and flew around a bit more and found some ore.

I think this would work great as a replacer for EarthLike and the Moon. Question though, how is the ore distribution. I flew around for a little bit with a 200m ore detector and found nothing. Also, would this work with MES?

Excellent planet. After trying out a dozen 'earth-like' workshop planets, this stood out to me as the best vanilla earth-like replacement.
Cool features: Detailed & deep ocean floor, winding rivers slicing through the continent, abundance of high altitude terrain, overall high level of detail.
Only downside is the relatively basic appearance from space (but still significantly better than vanilla.) The lack of desert terrain is also not a downside as it gives Pertam more relevance in my solar system. :steamthumbsup:

Absolutely amazing planet, very well done to you sir!

To follow up on that, it's too bad that the water mod doesn't have like an option to enable subnautica-esque predators to hunt you in the deep sea
