For some reason the clouds load weirdly, like only sideways and in one specific spot on the surface near the ground, i have it set to 900km and used the real solar systems editor which shouldnt conflict

Echthros has made official proxy textures for the Real Solar Systems mod he made for this and the current planets in the Alkurah System, here is a link to em

so does it work on multiplayer now?

and does it damage players and ships when you get close?

I might, I'm working on a differnt planet rn, maybe after that

Have you considered making a version of this that would work with the "Real Gas Giants" mod? This looks gorgeous.

yeah, I've heard that before, don't know why it happens with that mod. you'll probably have to spawn it in manually then or use the console spawn planets mod

Ok so this planet spawns with its rings sideways to planets "orbit" when using the star system designer tool. Is that normal?

not really. I get that bug too with large planets, I don't think there's any solution besides making the planet a little bit smaller. It's probably best to set this one to like 900 km instead of 1000, I feel like 1000 is about the point where it starts breaking more often

Beautiful mod, but quick question. When I see my gas giant, it usually works, but sometimes its like the graphics for it wont load so it has a jagged edge and its basically transparent in a large portion. Any idea why this happens?

What's the skybox mod you're using in the screenshots?

I understand it doesn't have a texture for the surface because no one will see it but it throws a lot of errors trying to get the height map and texture.

It's impossible to make the atmosphere and clouds completely opaque, so the surface needs to be quite high up for it to look good from a distance. It's supposed to be spawned in at ~1000km, then you get at least 20 kms or so of atmosphere.

I'm having trouble getting it to have an actual atmosphere, whenever I try to spawn it either using WordgenPlugin or Star System Generator it always has about 2 feet of atmosphere before being nothing but solid . Feels less like a gas giant and more like a big planet. Anyway around this? Am I doing something Wrong?

I did a little testing and spawned in some vanilla default planets in the star system designer plugin and they correctly line up with Luma (poles aligning with the rings and clouds) so it seems the default ecliptic in the star system designer is incorrect and nothing to do with you planet mod!
Thanks anyway!

I didn't think it was possible to rotate planets at all tbh. There's definitely no way to change the angle of the whole planet in the mod. Is it only the ring, or also the clouds on the planet? The ring model is quite old and I only copy/pasted it over

Love this gas giant. So good. One little thing, when using it in conjunction with the star system designer plugin, it always spawns in at 90deg from the default ecliptic so getting the moons to line up with the rings is a really fiddly. Is this a system designer issue or is there potentially a default placement setting in the planet file that could address this?
Fantastic mod, thank you!

The multiplayer game thing seems to be an issue with me as well.

pls make Miller from interstellar its all water planet with shallow water (huge waves if possible)

Conflict with multplayer

The Screenshot value of this planet is unlike anything else on the workshop, thanks for creating this. Really makes me nostalgic for the game Hellion, which had a similar but purple/pink Gas Giant.

WARNING: THIS MOD WILL PREVENT PEOPLE FROM BEING ABLE TO JOIN YOUR MULTIPLAYER GAME.

It took me days of going through a hundred mods to narrow it down to this one. You might want to warn people!

sure :D

Hello! I want to ask for your permission to use this and Satreus planets in a private modpack for the server, with links and credits of course

Makes sense, thanks. hopefully keen changes that

That's a problem the game has with textures bigger than 2048px. It does what you said, but for whatever reason it's only affecting some players, others not at all. Dedicated servers seem to have a lot fewer problems than local mp too. I can't fix it unfortunately and reducing the texture size to 2048px makes it look like a potato.

having issues with this planet where it loads fine but stops anyone joining my game. tested without other planet mods and have identified this mod as the cause. unsure why

you're amazing

Ok, so... this doesn't have to do with the mod per say, but. what is the song in the provided video? Shazam isn't giving me an answer lol.

no, should be fine, but the game starts doing weird things with planets larger than 1000 km, so you might experience some weird glitches

I spawned this in our server at 1200km. Is that too much for the clouds?

wether you can spawn on it or not is not saved in the planet file. There a file called RespawnShips.sbc that handles what respawn ship can spawn where, but it only looks at atmospheric density. I don't think it's possible to prevent the spawn on this planet specifically by just changing that file. There's probably a way with plugins or scripting, but that's above me.

@Major Jon is there a way to set Luma to not be a spawn planet? And if so, may I have your permission to make said changes?

probably, I haven't tried it yet

Can this be resized up using SE Toolbox rather then the plugins?

no, just small.
the weather won't work properly though

Will it break if I make it normal sized? (120km)

There's an issue with any textures larger than 2048x2048 px. It doesn't cause a crash for everyone, but some people seem to be effected. I can't fix that. I can only reduce the texture size to 2048, but then the planet would look like trash, so I'm not gonna do that.

This world is not mp compatible, keeps going on a infinite load

Gents, with the help of the Star System Generator i am going to make Luma 58,232 Kilometres large. wish me luck on this endeavour because my computers gonna need it...

Clouds seem to spawn sideways for me :/

i want to make a gas giant! Imagine gliding around with the aero dynamics mod with an ore detector on your ship in the clouds. and then you find a spire reaching up into the clouds and a floating asteroid.

The multiplayer bug can unfortunately only be solved 3 ways:
-Reduce cloud resolution
-Use more advanced compression algorithm on the clouds to reduce their data size
-Report it as a bug to Keen and hope by 2024 they fix it

If you can put a bug report in the description, I'm sure the people who use Luma would love to upvote it, at the very least.

They're particles spawned by the weather system, basically fancy raindrops.

I'm curious how the 3D clouds work or what mods / settings were used to get the in-atmosphere screenshots for the preview images?

its strange its only for some people i hosted a dedicated server with luma, and had no issues

Ouch, sounds like a keen problem. Thanks anyway.

I can't, the only way would be to remove the cloud layer and then it's just a green ball with no texture. I don't know why custom clouds cause these issues for some people, but I can't fix it without removing them.

Hey Major Jon have you fixed the mod for multiplayer yet? Haven't been able to get it working on mp at all for a long time.

Fair enough, I'm just glad its not game breaking, and only seems to be effecting Luma's weather.
