Would it be possible to mirror and rotate the skybox? (See Viper's comment 7 posts below)

happy to see this skybox! thx!
however i feel like it needs a lighter base color in order to see asteroids
and maybe an even larger resolution?

After more than an hour sorting out my plugins, I found that this mod affects how ore markers are shown on screen. I'm playing a server where uranium spawns on earth, and whenever I enable this plugin or the weather plugin I can't see uranium markers on spots where there is 100% uranium spawning.

I need 2 update dis mod, it keeps packing in it in "###_legacy.bin" format. TwT
I did unpack it, and dat broke the mod LUL. X3

How to unpack a legacy.bin file (only works for Space engineers content), rename the extension from BIN to ZIP. :3

Hi. Is it possible to change the brightness of the environment on planets closer to default? Its pitch black

It appears this Skybox is causing critical errors on game load and cannot be loaded.

I discovered that this amazing skybox is real, but it's displayed mirrored compared to real life. Once I realized it was a mirror image of our real life sky, I was able to find the Southern Cross and subsequently the celestial south pole. From there, I played around with the time offset and discovered that the sun track goes right through the celestial south pole.

So in conclusion, the skybox is mirrored but real and the sun circles the player in a north-south configuration rather than east-west like real life.

Why does this mod make everything dark?
