Description

Do not subscribe to both mods.

Patch for vanilla dungeon rates: here

Built-in support for the following modded planet biomes mods:

Not compatible with Frackin Universe

This mod is a slight overhaul of planets generation.

  • It changes the dungeons counts as follows:

    Tiny planet size is defined in celestial.config in vanilla Starbound but it seems it's unused as no planet or moon will spawn of that size. This mod makes use of the tiny size as well (but just for Moons).

  • Makes the gas giants in the sky backdrop bigger when you visit a planet
  • Spawns more dungeons around planets, including Ocean planets.
  • Dungeons number on Desert planets are capped at [2,4] (2 minimum 4 max) for all planet sizes.
  • Dungeons number on Scorched City planets are capped at [1,2] (1 minimum 2 max) for all planet sizes.

Fully Compatibile with Truespace
The only difference you will find with this mod is the fact that with TrueSpace you will find satellites of any kind orbiting a planet, not only Moons, and they will spawn of the Small and Medium size but when a Moon is spawned it will be Tiny and Small.
In Vanilla you will find planets as satellites only around Gas Giants

Meant to be used as a Overhaul of Vanilla Starbound

As I made this mod for myself but decided to share it with everyone it supports just the planet types I play, contact me in the discussion above (of the main mod) to request compatibility for other planet biomes mods.
While nothing happen if you use this mod with a modded planet type that is not listed, that biome will have the same number of dungeons that would have in vanilla. Planet size will still be modded.

Ideally it works best to have a fresh universe from the start as this mod change the seed of generation of stars, but you can install this mod anyway if you don't want to start over, just be sure to backup your whole storage/universe folder, especially universe.chunks file inside storage/universe before installing this mod.

To see the changes this mod make travel to a unexplored region of the map.

If you lose universe.chunks or it gets corrupted as stars generation is different with this mod installed you won't lose your planets and builds but they might be shown differently on the navigation console (like you will be shown a volcano planet instead of your old lush planet but when you will beam down it's still the old lush planet) and/or you could be in an invalid coordinate of space (meaning you are in a place where there used to be a star system and now there's nothing in it and the game crashes)

Thank you so much!

I made a patch for any Planet Generation Overhaul to revert to vanilla number of dungeons spawned for each planet size, keeping all the other features intact.

Do you think you could make a version that is the opposite of this? Normal dungeon rates, but still have the larger planets? Some of us like having more wilderness to build and explore between the dungeons we find.

It's not planned, I think it would be possible but more than a patch it should probably be a standalone mod considering the big differences between vanilla and FU, I haven't look in depth how FU generates planets and for now I'm finishing a mod I have in the making since November, it's a train system for Starbound based on the tram network, so I'm quite busy for now but maybe when I'm done I could have a look at it and see if it's possible

I was wondering, will there ever be a FU patch or is this simply not possible?
