@William V1 is a version made a long time ago, main differneces are V1 has less biomes, and no "void" or "continent" variant of island biomes, no "updrafts" that keep you afloat between islands, no skyfishing, no dungeons in the depths, and IMO worse and laggier backgrounds for the biomes.

What is the difference between this mod and version 2?

ok im out for now for real have a good one

its not on the outside its inside holding it in place or maybe outside either way would be a cool idea

basicly the ring holds the eye in place and could be powered by it to

oh also somthing just popped into my head when looking at the jpeg image . there could be a ring like structure surounding the Eye of the storm and it could be used a stabalizer . you can also fit a planet inside the eye in theory and would be a cool part of the skybox

well anyways i will see myself out . was a nice chat :D

oh ok i get it now

But yeah, basically, background would look bad, dungeons are hard, but there is guns and races from halo.

@The Caretaker ah, I just have appear as offline.

or it could be steam . idk i couldnt read all of it since it was like 1 parachraph

There IS halo weapons and species mods from what I remember tho.

@The Caretaker rude. But about the halo thing, probably because its hard to make a halo ring planet whose parallax looks good? like, you rotate the planet sideways so putting the cool halo going up into the sky in the background would look weird, and putting the halo wall kinda looks meh no? Also making dungeons in this game sucks from my experience. I hate tiled. Tried building dungeons for this mod and couldn't.

also now that i think of it why isnt there any halo mods?

@The Caretaker if you are talking about the content I add in V2 (which this mod is the old V1 since they are incompatible), all it adds is some ruined versions of already existing ancient dungeons to the lower layers (without tile protection, so you can turn them into cool looking bases), and some really strong versions of mech combat drones with ancient coloring and slightly different textures. So it's not like there is actual lore/content expansions in the game other than that.

or mayby im not understanding context which is most likely

are your ancients the same a vanilla and just a expansion ?

@The Caretaker I did make an unreleased conpat for FU that replaces the gases from fu to the gas giants of this mod, but other than that not rly.

@The Caretaker but a small spoiler, V2 worlds have actual ancient dungeons in the "core" layer and all accross the outer layers, and depending on your luck you will find interesting stuff in the background of the core layer.

i dont know the lore on the ancients to much sadly i have seen some items etc
there is also the precursor tech on cyber worlds from FU but idk if thats apart of your lore

@The Caretaker I could imagine it as an addon for V2 that adds a chance for some layers to have that biome's structures and stuff, but tbh sounds like a ton of work and haven't modded this game in quite a while other than finishing my 2 year old WIP of V2.

A sub type of gas giant with a cyber world core . the lore could be a cyber world/shield world that collected gas to protect itself from some unknown threat

@The Caretaker yep, now imagine what the reality warping, space bending ancients can do with their shield technology which stops even matter manipulators, and their terraformers that change the surface of entire planets.

hey omega the cyber worlds from FU it would be cool if those could be put into gas giants

a massive structure like that forrunner station on thresshold could survive 500 kilometers i assume or even more

just single probe but i assume they sent more

i corrected myself in saying that weak nasa probes can survive almost 200 kilometers on the Galileo mission

oh i see your avatar is a forrunner :D

sorry i wasnt trying to be rude

@The Caretaker there is actually a mod for that! I personally recommend the mod that allows you to toggle mech flight on planets, also this version is quite old, I also recommend that if u wanna try out this mod you check out V2 instead.

Basically, think shield worlds in halo, fortress worlds that the ruin can't invade in worst case scenario where it wins the war and destroys the galaxy/universe/whatever, built to preserve life in small, secluded islands of life that the ruin can't really consume, surrounded by swarms of really violent machines that will kill all biological life on sign.

ayo omega wtf lol hi

you should need a mech to deploy and should be able to deploy a station transponder to make a floaty base :D

@The Caretaker my brother in christ, you chose to buy the game with a giant meat planet as it's boss, where life naturally developed in frozen and lava planets, with a civilization of ancients that are known for terraforming planets and seeding life on them, and then come to the mod about being able to land in terraformed outer layers of a gas giant. Also, you realize that the upper layers of a gas giant have less dense atmosphere, right?

If you want some lore explanations tho, Lorewise, when you "land" on these gas giants, you are doing so in a small, eye-of-the-huricane area with enormous, stable updrafts keeping a few small rocks far above the more dense areas. The atmospheric preassure in those areas is actually quite close to earth's and it's kept stable by the machines down bellow the accesible area built by the ancients. BTW, this is the old version of the mod, and the new version has some more nods towards the "ancients where doing weird stuff in the lower areas" thing.

Okay, I'm looking forward to it.

@Jean1337_ beta should be up in the workshop. That said it's incompatible with this version and worlds generated by it. And it has a bug where 1 kind of gas giant spawns without atmosphere for some reason. Aside of that mod should work flawlessly. I think.

I would be very happy to receive it!

@Jean1337_ the robots are there to guard something at the bottom. As for dungeons, I kinda stopped developing starbound mods in a while, but I do have a V2 version prototype with expanded world gen which does include a few special dungeons in the bottom of the planet. Sadly its unfinished with a a lot of biomes unfinished. I could fixe a few things and upload it as a separate mod if you are interested, but I doubt it will get developed further.

Amazing mod, congratulations, do you plan to add dungeons in the future? And is it normal to spawn a lot of hostile flying robots?

@robertinferreirax nope, they are clean from dungeons aside from the small microdungeons the normal biomes have.

great mod! Have any dugeons??

@❀♥.°Kanmi°.♥❀ pretty sure its not from my mod, but try this, it gives your starmap a zoom slider so you can click on the far away moons.

My only criticism is that this mod makes every gas giant a different shade of brown instead of the various colors they were able to before. This is something I hope can be fixed and improved upon at some point. Other than that, good mod!

@Omega68nova i can't even get clost to the gass giants in game.. and the planet sesrch mod did recognize this mod but couldn't find any gas giants that are landable.. iam guessing it is the planet generation overhaul that is conflicting with this mod then...

@StarLordPro you need to go to new chunks of the universe after installing this mod to land on the new gas giants. If you are trying to beam down to them and get instantly beamed back up that might be some dungeon mod or something similar that is bugged. If it's none of those 2 its probaly planet generation overhaul gas giants, if you still want to use this mod maybe get a version without the gas giant moons? I have one without them and works fine for me. Pretty sure they are compatible tho.

this mod seems to be incompatible with one or more mods i am using.. when i search for either of the 2 landable gass giants using the planet search mod it scans all the systems and do not find any gas giants that matches the search.. and when i go to a system i have not ben to i still can't land on them. the mods i am using that has to do with the galaxy and planets are planet search. more planet info (work with 1.4.x not guaranteed), [More planet info] 1.4 Quest Marker Fix, More planet info Lush Planet fix(Works with FU), Planet generation Overhaul - Bigger Planets more satellites around gas giants more dungeons and microdungeons spawn, Starmap zoom slider.

Thanks!

@COVID-19 thanks for the patch! I put the link to it on the top area of the description to make it more visible, giving credit ofcourse.

Hi all. If you like this mod, but hate having bounties on gas giants, I made a patch to fix that issue.

Here it is: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3020183788

planetary converter can not completely transform an entire planet like this on the surface，but it can not placed anywhere else it is a headaache
