Takama

PLANET:

A world shattered not too long ago by an unknown force. Chasms several kilometers deep surround an immense impact crater, leaving iron-rich magma to consume a portion of the surface. The impact melted the entire planet, leaving behind a marbled surface material that replaces the rich soil present before. Uneven heating has caused some areas of the planet to become entirely glassed. Spikes form in these regions due to rapid material expansion. Other extreme features include volcanoes and surface level ores. An anomalous material seems to take up a majority of Takama's subsurface, growing outward in certain regions of the planet. The origin or nature of these materials is unknown, though they are cold to the touch. While most life has been eradicated, some remains- either scorched from the burning atmosphere or infected by the anomaly. Weather patterns are extremely harsh, apart from an occasional green mist which appears to originate from frozen glowing crystals found throughout the planet.

Based on the Salos mod: Steam Workshop::[Shattered] Planet Salos (Earth) (steamcommunity.com)

The planet was designed for a PvP server, which means it's optimized for quick resource gathering. All ores (including uranium, platinum), generate on the surface. Magma can be harvested for iron, as can most other ground voxels (with the amount of magma in the material corresponding to iron yield). The only thing that's hard to find is ice, obviously, but it can still be found in some areas of the planet, such as in the central crystals of 'Infected' biomes. If you're comfortable, feel free to tweak the mod files in order to generate ores the way you prefer.

BASIC INFO:

• Gravity: 0.5g
• Recommended size: Maximum
• Oxygen: Low
• Temperature: Hot
• Overall Danger: High
• Spider Spawn Patterns: Infrequent waves
• Terrain: Unpredictable and extreme

NOTE: VOXEL AND SHADER QUALITY NEED TO BE SET TO HIGH (minimum) IN ORDER TO SEE THE EMISSIVE TEXTURES. (Super very 100% recommended, even if you have to turn other settings down as a result)

4.0 UPDATE PROBLEMS

4.0 is a massive update which adds new biomes, changes textures, adds spider spawns, and, importantly, CHANGES TERRAIN GENERATION in many areas of the planet. If you do not like these changes, I have uploaded an archive for you to use instead of this new version (note that you cannot use both the archive and updated version together): https://mod.io/g/spaceengineers/m/archive-takama-3x
