Planet LV-426

Since Space Mining Universal's incursioning in comercial space ship design, the company has been settling new horizons for the industry. SMU has established an exploration division with the sole purpose of finding planets, plausible for huge mining operations, for our clients.

Planet LV-426 is located in the Zeta2 Reticuli Star System, in the southern constellation of Reticulumthe. It is a near Earth sized planet orbiting around the gas giant "Calpamos".

The SMU SATCOM data we have gathered for this planet is one of the best ones yet. We have very promising prospects for LV-426 but due to its very hazardous nature, unstable tectonics with eternal windstorms, only companies with the needed infrastructure will succeed.

Most of the mining deposits have already been leased to Weyland Yutani Corporation, but there are still some resourceful areas left for lease. Weyland has the intention to build "Atmospheric Processors" in the future to make this hell live-able.

LV-426's surface is filled with ores, but also keep an eye out for the extreme Platinium and Uranitite deposits. Don't get distracted, danger is lurking around every corner. Beware when night arrives, your standard lights won't be very useful.

IMPORTANT:
From now on clouds come bundled with the planet. But you still have to install them. Here's how:

a) Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850 (SE Subscribed content folder)
b) In there look for a folder with this mod's workshop ID number: 923806295
c) Within the 923806295 folder, go to the Textures folder, where you'll find the custom clouds folder: "LV426Clouds"
d) Cut the "LV426Clouds" folder and paste it into:

C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Textures\Models\Environment\Sky\

e) Now start your game and clouds should work for the planet.
