Planet Arcadia & Moon Sarilla

Description
Planet Arcadia
Arcadia is a planet with five unique biomes from the desert at the center of the planet to the scrublands to the forest then to the alien grasslands and finally at the poles snow and ice, this planet has been made with rovers in mind as there is lots of open spaces in all biomes with mountains dotted around the planet allowing players to drive from pole to pole with very little obstructions in the way.

Moon Sarilla
Sarilla is a large moon with some large dry rivers and lots of sand and gravel rocky outcrops giving a unique look to this moon, the moon has been made with rovers in mind as there is lots of open sandy areas for driving around however do be careful as the rocky outcrops areas will be treacherous for a small rover so stick to the sand flats the best you can at the start and get a large grid rover going with some big wheels is a good idea later but in some situations you may need to clear a path.

Tips
Certain whether effects on Arcadia such as (Heatwave, Electric Storm, Rain, Snow) will only happen in Certain biomes so Heatwave and the Electric Storm will happen around the desert regions and the snow will only happen around the poles of the planet and as for rain it will happen more around the forest areas of the planet and other weather patters are common in all biomes.

The ore mappings on Arcadia and Sarilla are significantly reduced and to give an idea of by how much compared to say the vanilla earth like planet which has around 35,328 ore nodes planet wide where as on Arcadia and Sarilla it is around 1746 ore nodes planet wide.

Because of the lower ore node amount on Arcadia and Sarilla it is a good idea while driving around the planets to pick up some ore found in the boulders on the surface of the planets and not just pass them by as it can potentially take some time to find an ore node so best to pick up stuff along the way to help get you started, you will fined that there are different ores in the boulders depending on which biome your in on Arcadia and traveling between the poles on Sarilla you will come across different ores so travel around.

The moon Sarilla has no ice so it's a good idea to get your oxygen farms up and running as soon a possible to survive there.

The ore nodes themselves have been custom done and players will find that there is only one ore type per node and this is the average break down of the amount of nodes for each ore planet wide and is as follows,
----Planet Arcadia----
-Iron 648
-Silicon 198
-Nickel 306
-Cobalt 144
-Silver 114
-Magnesium 120
-Gold 216

----Moon Sarilla----
-Iron 528
-Silicon 198
-Nickel 306
-Cobalt 144
-Silver 114
-Magnesium 120
-Gold 216
-Platinum 102


To do
Adding of two new custom environment sounds to the world as currently there are vanilla environment sounds in the world and when i get more time and fine the right sounds i am looking for this will change.

the sand flats on sarilla are covered in boot prints...

This is a nice planet, however, I am wondering why it is warm in the ice region, when it logically would be cold. Is it possible to fix that ?

you make the absolute best planet mods out there, shame they're overlooked

I think it'd be worth it as the process is pretty simple.

@GigaCars I am aware of the Real Solar Systems mod but i had not thought of making one for it, i may look at it but i make no promises.

someones gonna eventually ask this so i'm going to

any plans for a planet proxy for use with Real Solar Systems by Echthros? he uploaded a tool to make them, just check his workshop(or i can provide the link if you want)
