Hey The3rdAncient, since the original devs no longer update this mod I've decided to upload my version of this mod to mod.io. You can find it here: https://spaceengineers.mod.io/deep-space-4k

Could you please Upload this to Mod.io

Hey guys, I uploaded a version of the mod with weather support, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2538074869
Thanks to the original authors for creating this mod, if they would like to include the fixed version in the original mod I would have no problem sending it to them.

Is there a good alternative to this mod yet?

We would really appreciate if Phoenix or Doctor could update this mod. I understand there are personal reason to not mess with it, but it is BY FAR the best environment to play SE in.

11k subs cant be wrong.

good day .

I wanted to ask if you can do something about the LCDs, which are hardly readable with scripts, I assume it is due to the emissivity bloom, you can fix the problem with a mod or even implant it in your skybox

I probably have to update the planet definitions. Can't promise when I'll do that as I'm really busy with work nowadays. I'll try to find the time/motivation to do it, since it's a quick fix.

I kinda quit SE due to some community members/modders I thought were friends turning out to be pretty awful and some other reasons.

Hey! I like this skybox so much! But when I install it, suddenly all weather systems disappear, so that there's an error "There is no weather system on nearby planet". Without the skybox, weather is there. Is this an issue you already noticed?

@ElderLone As long as you can still see the clouds on earthlike you can ignore this error

Hello,
i have some errors coming from PlanetGeneratorDefinitions_Splendid.sbc like :

MOD_ERROR: Deep Space 4K - Clean Post-Processing | 1.190+, in file: D:\Jeux\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\720549240\Data\PlanetGeneratorDefinitions_Splendid.sbc
Resource not found, setting to null. Resource path: D:\Jeux\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\244850\720549240\Textures/Models/Environment/Sky/EarthFarClouds.dds

This concerns all XML reference with path : ...\Textures/Models
And, after verification in the dir mod, there isn't no subdirectory called "models" in ...\244850\720549240\Textures. There is just 2 subdirectories : BackgroundCube and SunGlare.

It seems your mod is awesome so can you help me to resolve this problem ? Error from steam download or missing directory ?

Thx.

I love this skybox, realistic shadows, so now spotlight has a purpose, and works fine. Awesome work.

I don't know if I will like this mod. But I like your thought about skybox details, which is same as mine. I wish we will have an SE game that we won't need skybox for objects like stars, nebulae, and etc. Unfortunately, we only have planets for now.

A conflict with another mod? I suppose it's possible, but with everyone else saying it's fine... *swaps skyboxes again* ...Well, it's daytime, but the world beyond the outpost loaded in, so I guess it's fine? Which leads to the question, how did it happen in the first place. CLAAANG!

Seems to be working just fine, don't see any definition changes from the update. It's the same as pre-Anniversary...and I'm not sure what's going on in your example. Are you sure there are no other mods changing the environment that might be throwing you off?

At the end of the scene I linked, a pair of screenshots from 33:50 to 34:12.

Although I'm not sure what exactly in your video where you show my skybox is broken? Do you mean the dark/clear cloud layer at night? Cause it's always been like that.

Been busy with work, will look at it today.

The skybox works fine on my server.

Well, the anniversary update just frelled this skybox. Again. Space Just Got Real still works, if that helps narrow down what's wrong, this time.

You might need to delete your shader cache. there is on in the game folder (Steam\SteamApps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content) and another in the userdata (AppData\Roaming\SpaceEngineers\ShaderCache2)

How do I remove this skybox after adding it? I mean I managed to remove it, but the post processing effects are still here. Removed due to way too much bloom.

@PhoenixTheSage Thanks, I'll be removing the re-upped version from my workshop in the next few days. Great work as always!

Weird, I wasn't getting comment notifications.
Planet generation definitions are updated for 1.190

Any skybox that similarly modifies all the vanilla planet atmospheres to look correct in their environment are gonna need to update.

@LeXx LeCryce That the case with ALL skybox mods, so it's possibly something on Keen's end.

how to activate it? I put it into the "active mods" like I do with all mods but I still see the Milky Way, I think its not working

@PhoenixTheSage i can also confirm that this mod breaks the new turbines in the game. Just figured it out while constantly reloading my savegame with 48+ mods until it functioned again.
Beside that, your mod is still awesome! Please fix it :)

@Franky500 thanks for your work on a workaround! ;)

This is a great sklybox but Just to get the turbines working i've reupped to my own workshop with the wind definitions added so turbines work. Hopefully Pheonix does not mind, I will remove it as soon as he updates his own. All i've done is add the windspeed definitions to the PlanetGeneratorDefinitions file in this mod. All Credit to PheonixTheSage and Doctor Octoganrapus. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1675088337 Again, I will remove it once this one gets updated so be prepared to update your mod list again after that.

Best darkness mod ever.
Hope wind will be fixed :)

Hi there, i found a huge bug in your mod. If i use your skybox all Windturbines wont work. Pls fix it, because i like your skybox. Greets LeXx

In advance,thanks for this mod.
Since recent update with the release,now looks lleyow instead cold.Also seems like there is a problem with the turbines,doesnt work on planets with atmosphere.

Just here to confirm what Thurasis Thorn and TenTech have said - made a world with only this mod on, and wind turbines no longer have wind clearance in full launch with this mod on.

same as tentech with the full launch its still giving no wind clearance with this skybox.

Playing the beta this weekend, and I've discovered that this skybox interferes with wind turbines. No idea why.

This is awesome! Is there a way to adjust bloom? it's just a little too much.

it looks great. almost as good as space got real but yours u can act5ually see atnight and it works better for earth env

@Merked4Life If you mean screen, then yes. Texture resolution doesn't really have much in relation with screen resolution.

can this run on a 1080p?

There are alot of darkness mods that screw up your lightning shadows and even SAVE thats right save. Even if you remove darkness or light mods mods visuals will change but vanilla ones will be damaged. So listen here numskulls:
1. Delete ShaderCache and ShaderCache2 folders in %appdata% space engineers
2. verify game files
3. Run a clean new map with only 4 k Deep space
4. Enjoy the glory of this skybox...
5. now try running it in save u want and see if its the same.
6. if not your save is screwed. (there is a fix but its complicated.)

Thi is f***in insane.

nevermind man, after the small little update today it seems to work fine. Ill let you know if it breaks again :D

@Phoenix not when I was testing it, was on a single player clean new save. that was on 1.186

Doesn't sound right bro, running any other mods?

Doesnt seem to work for me, nothing renders besides the HUD. Just a black screen.

@PhoenixTheSage - You're awesome.
Was kinda unexpected, but I guess this new update was a good excuse to get back around to it.

@Dumpshock Yeah I was aware, thanks. I've just been busy away from SE and was waiting for the next major update. Should be fixed now and this update I've removed the lens dirt overlay and adjusted bloom. Further improvements may come as I experiment around.

Hey Phoenix,

You may wish to take a look over your Environment.sbc. I think that it has become out of date for the newer versions.

I noticed a previous comment had issues regarding reflections in windows. I was having this as well, where the skybox just was not mapping right.
After playing around, I was able to confirm that there is something in your .sbc across both versions of Deep Space.

I was able to modify it, although without your lighting tweaks, and got it working again on my end with no odd reflections.

Feel free to reach out if you feel the need.

Love it !

Thank you for hint about sun flare on options. Seems its the game flare. I'll try to use that mod to reduce the game flare ;)

@FabioZumbi12 Sun size is mostly tied to the flare slider in your graphics options now, the sun in the pics is from last year before they changed it. Here's a separate mod to reduce sun lens effects: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=865309539
