The volcanic biome called “VolcanicRoughNoLife09” is one of the few volcanic biomes that can contain large bodies of water. This mod transforms what would otherwise be a dull biome into a colourful volcanic landscape. Additionally, on moons capable of harbouring water, there are also vibrant turquoise volcanic mineral pools and lakes.
The biome can be found on four celestial bodies:
– Groombridge VIII-d (Oxygen atmosphere, heavy metal water, no magnetosphere)
– Oborum II-a (Methane atmosphere, safe water, no magnetosphere)
– Verne I (Inferno planet, no water). Note: There are two volcanic biomes on Verne I, and only one is affected by this mod.
– Bardeen I (Inferno planet, no water)
Essentially, the mod is a “skin pack” for the biome. The main file does not modify gameplay mechanics such as flora, fauna, resources, keywords, or quests. To make the two moons with water more appealing as a place to visit and to establish an outpost, an optional file is available to modify the planetary characteristics, so both have an oxygen atmosphere, safe water, and a strong magnetosphere. You can imagine the water being warm and create a hot pool spa retreat at the lakeshore.
Main file:
– Retextured the terrain. It is now very colourful.
– The water has a vibrant turquoise colour.
Optional file:
– Changed the planetary characteristics of Groombridge VIII-d and Oborum II-a by giving them a breathable atmosphere, safe water, and a magnetosphere.
INSTALLATION:
Download the files via a mod manager.
The mod can be installed mid-game.
