Moon Overhaul

Description
Overhauls moon generation to make exploring them more rewarding and interesting, while keeping a vanilla feel. Adds several new biomes, expands the ore profile, and in general adds more variety and value, particularly to greater depths. In addition to new ores, it makes erchius spawns gradually denser the deeper you go.

Biome List:
Blasted (Surface) - A cratered wasteland with lots of meteor remnants, including metal-rich rock
Carbonaceous (Surface) - Deposits of organic material are common here, kept warm by tar and a small amount of lava
Junkyard (Surface) - Someone else has been here before you, if only to dump their waste
Ice Caves (Shallow) - Mostly devoid of ores, but small pools of liquid water are common.
Shadow Caves (Shallow) - A few shiny things here and there dot these jet-black caverns
Erchius Sea (Mid-Depth) - Massive seams of liquid erchius
Geode (Deep) - Lots of obsidian and magmarock shells, some still full of lava. Valuable gems are found here.
Crystal Caves (Deep) - Rocky but abundant with glittering crystal
Metallic Core (Core) - The sunken remains of ancient meteoritic bombardment; very rich in metals but also rare.

@Ribbons0121R121 less dead moons got updated pretty recently to work with this better, so that's nice

@Ribbons0121R121 - new biomes are working fine for me. If you have an existing universe then this won't affect moons that have already generated - you need to go to another part of the universe to generate new moons with these changes. Can confirm it also works with (even) less dead moons.

Nothing has changed with Starbound that would break it, so should work just as good as ever. I doubt a future update would break it anyhow.

does this mod still work as of late?

@Chet Walters
It isn't going to change existing moons at all aka already generated moons. Already generated moons can include many that you haven't yet. So you'd need to scroll out on your navigation to sections of the universe that haven't generated yet. Otherwise you won't see any changes.

Doesn't seem to work on mine? Been checking some moons orbiting planets, and no change. I don't use FU.
