Planet mod Inspired by Tatooine with unique terrain and ambience. Surface primarily consists of sands and rocks, oppressed by a scorching climate.

The planet has no water or ice, but rich with ores both beneath the surface and in the rocks. Get ice from Moisture Vaporators.

A lot of open space covered with deserts.

No binary sunset included, sorry about that.

Recommended size: from 90km to 120km (At 120 you might feel a little like an ant near giant mountains and sandseas).

UPDATE 5: Sandstorms

Weather is implemented now thanks to our man Tiuss

UPDATE 4: Bugfixes & update

Updated the planet to latest game engine definitions. Now it has ores, textures, biomes and clouds again.

UPDATE 3: Ores!!!

With the latest game update Keen fixed the mat maps issue, so I updated our sweet dusty world. Now it has ORES UNDER THE SURFACE as it should had have from day 1.

UPDATE 2: Workaround for the game not loading materials and biomes map texture bug.

Ok, now the planet has fairly correct surface materials. Still, the planet can't have any ore under the surface, so I put a lot of resource rocks above it.

UPDATE 1: Now with ambient sounds!

Just made a perfect Day/Night ambient sound for different areas. Sounds totally like Tattoine. Try not to lose your mind.

Thumbs up to support the project!

Attention! Testers needed!

Known bugs:

- Sandstorm clouds dont look well when you get close to the planet. Will be fixed.

- No proper ambient sounds. I think I'll find some in Star Wars games to add. Now there is sound.

- The originas SE Desert voxel material gets weirdly lightened. Will be fixed soon by creating a substitute material for that biome.

- No ores under the surface. This is a game bug which doesn't allow game to load material, biome and occlusion maps from the published mods. Fixed.
