Earth City Terraformer and Biome 2.0

Description
Hello, this is the definitive version of the City Biome Mod I made before on another account. It overhauls everything in the mod from sprite work to the parallax to the biome in general. This biome is not meant for exploration but rather building colonies or builds in general, no monsters, no block altering weather other than rain, just a nice space to build whatever you want.

Main Changes From Old Mod
-Lights have been added to the night parallax.
-The terraformer makes a new planet for easier searching.
-Parallax has been better optimized for much less visual problems.
-Weather is different from the last, no snow, only rain.
-Recipe for the terraformer has been added to the starting recipes on the Terraforge, just in case.

How to get the Terraformer
Crafting:
1. Get the Earth Emergency Broadcast codex.

2. Head over to Treasured Trophies to get the Earth Blueprints, with the necessary materials.

3. Farm some carrots, potatoes and corn. 5 each should be good.

4. Mine titanium, enough for 20 bars.

5. Take it all to a Terraforge with 3000 Ancient Essence.

6. Craft the Civilization Builder.

7. Terraform planet.

Item ID For Terraformer: terraformercity

What if you got the Old Mod?
The biome is almost the same in the code. All you have to do is to unsubscribe from the previous one and subscribe to this one before you turn on the game as both mods will contradict each other. You may have to re-terraform the planet to get the new features.

FAQ

Q: Does this work in FU?
A: Should still be able to, the previous one did.

Q: Does this biome generate in-game?
A: No, this must be terraformed.

Q: Did you take the assets from Citybound?
A: No, these are my assets edited from the base game but I will credit them for me learning how to code a lot of this stuff from their stuff.

Q: Is this a better mod than Citybound?
A: Not sure, its all point of opinion I guess.

Q: Why are the city lights a bit wonky?
A: Starbound's spaghetti rendering, can't do anything about it.

Q: Are there gonna be any more updates?
A: Unless people have any complaints or feedback that sounds good, no.

If you have any feedback, bug reports or anything you wanna tell me, leave it down in the comments. Also please review it to your liking, helps the mod get more publicity.

Seconding, planets can indeed spawn with this as their only biome. I don't entirely mind that as it gives me a very solid foundation to start building or hell, terraform the planet into something else, but at the same time it feels very unintended given the barebones planet description.

Also, running into an issue with the parallax, where if you go down underground just far enough you can see the bottom of the city parallax and note it cuts off early and turns white before the transition takes place.

Nvm, it actually works.

The bees from Frackin' Universe don't work on this planet unfortunately. Can someone make a patch for that?

While I do like the idea, the Parallax feels too high. I wanted to build stuff that feels closer to the ground, but cause of the parallax, I have to dig fairly deep underground, and even then, parts will be considered underground

When using this mod with the geeks starter planet for frackin universe I always start on this kind of planet which is bad cause I can't do a thing to advance.

you should replace the grass and the fields with the thick clouds just like in the earth parallax

Planets generate naturally with this biome. And only this biome. I like that, but sad part is that they are almost completely empty. It would be more fun if they actually had content, and entire cities.

Is this clientside or serverside?
