Terrain (voxelgen) overhaul mod. Compatible with NMS v3.53
_MOD_DUD_TerraFirma_v3533:
Massive overhaul to terrain (voxelgen).
Terrain (voxelgen) is overhauled in every aspect. The pics show a very small example of possible terrain.
The example pics are limited on purpose. Explore and be surprised by the variety of terrain!
Main considerations for the design are as follows:
Extensive (more than 1 year) testing of terrain in an attempt to not change it after release for the purpose of being a standard that everyone can enjoy together.
FPS is consistent with vanilla NMS.
Improved gameplay aspects of terrain compared to vanilla NMS. (i.e. terrain supports rational player movement and all normal prop placement.)
Does not affect any prop placement directly. Including but not limited to flora, fauna, outposts, buildings, minerals, etc.
Massive increase in variety of terrain compared to vanilla NMS.
Possibilities of deeper oceans.
Retains vanilla NMS terrain possibilities.
Some planets will have mineral deposits that protrude above the terrain.
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY!
This mod will change terrain (voxelgen)!
Therefore there are a few things to consider when using this mod:
If using mod on an existing save game, save in a space station before installing the mod.
If removing the mod, save in a space station before removal.
Prop placement will be indirectly changed (even if minimally) due to the fact that terrain affects prop placement.
If using on existing save, existing bases will more than likely be at the wrong height compared to the changed terrain.
If using in multiplayer, terrain will be different than anyone not using the mod.
If mod is used by multiple players, all of those players will see exactly the same terrain.
If you are using another mod that does happen to modify VOXELGENERATORSETTINGS.MBIN, you can make this mod (DUD’S SKY – TERRA FIRMA) load last. This will cause DUD’S SKY – TERRA FIRMA terrain to be used without any conflict with the rest of the other mod.
Please refer to the NMS wiki for an explanation of mod load order and how to change it: https://nomanssky.fandom.com/wiki/Mods?
