[DISCONTINUED] Desert Dunes Planet

DISCONTINUED.

∇ ∇ ∇ ∇ ∇ IT'S NOT BASED THE BOOK "DUNE" OR THE PLANET "ARRAKIS" ∇ ∇ ∇ ∇ ∇

Custom height and mat maps, custom ore deposits. Fixed the texture bug. It needed a MaterialGroup entry for everything (where there is no MaterialGroup to fill a place on the map, it puts moon stone).

Most ores are in very large veins, but larger veins are only found deep underground (100-120m) and are only detectable by large ship ore detectors from the surface. Ore markings on the planet surface are faint, so you'll have to actually scout them out manually a lot of the time. Contains all ores including platinum. Ice is found only in very thin and few veins. It's an important resource.

Sunset looks bloody beautiful by the way.

Modeled of the planet from that Riddick movie I can't remember the name of. Yeah, that one. Pitch Black.

Changelog

Update 5 - Made heightmap more seamless and made it more dune-like and less hill-like. - Fixed complete lack of ice (it's just rare enough that hydrogen is only used for getting off-planet). - Changed ore distribution rules. - Changed Rayleigh scattering (sky color is more orange now). - Ore deposits are now faintly marked. It should be easy to find the deposits but hard to get the ore out. I'm thinking of making most deposits really far (200m+) down so that large-scale mining operations are needed. - Slightly decreased oxygen density for no apparent reason. - Added screenshots.
