_MOD_DUD_NaturalSpawn_v503-A
Changes spawn area size of 2 large plant and rock spawn groups that are used on all planets.
Makes forests and larger groups of rocks, plants, and trees have larger groups with larger barren areas between.
Makes more "forest and plains" areas than the evenly distributed smaller forests in vanilla NMS.
_MOD_DUD_TerraFirma2_v505-A
Massive terrain overhaul.
*Both mods can be used together or separately.
Terrain is overhauled in every aspect. The pics show a very small example of possibilities.
The example pics are limited on purpose. Explore and be surprised by the variety of terrain!
Main considerations for the design are as follows:
Extensive (more than 4 years and thousands of hours) developing and testing.
Being a standard that everyone can enjoy together.
FPS is consistent with vanilla NMS.
Improved gameplay aspects of terrain compared to vanilla NMS. (i.e. terrain supports rational player movement and all normal prop placement.)
Does not affect any prop placement directly. Including but not limited to flora, fauna, outposts, buildings, minerals, etc.
Improved/fixed terrain "level of detail" loading settings.
Massive increase in variety of terrain compared to vanilla NMS.
Retains vanilla NMS terrain possibilities.
As much variety as possible while retaining quality of terrain.
Heavily promotes exploration.
TERRA FIRMA vs TERRA FIRMA 2
While terrain has been changed between the two versions in all aspects, there are also 3 major changes included in TERRA FIRMA 2 that should be noted:
Possibility of huge, lonely areas of planets with little to no points of interest (Buildings, crashed freighters, etc.) where you will be truly alone.
Possibility of huge areas of planets that have different terrain than the rest of the planet.
Fixed/removed broken islands caused by a few bugs and terrain issues in vanilla/default NMS. (See pics for examples of "broken" islands.)
Things you might see while using TERRA FIRMA 2:
Deeper oceans.
Rivers.
River deltas.
Huge beaches.
Cave systems that go for miles.
Huge caves.
Huge, lonely areas of planets with little to no points of interest (Buildings, crashed freighters, etc.).
Huge areas of planets that have different terrain than the rest of the planet.
Mountainous areas that stretch for many miles along with flat/flatter terrain that stretches for many miles. All on the same planet!
Bizarre and alien land/rock formations.
Large shallow water swamps.
Mostly flat terrain planets.
Mostly mountainous planets.
Small and very large craters.
Things you will not see:
Broken islands caused by a few bugs and terrain calculation issues in vanilla/default NMS!
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY!
This mod will change terrain (voxelgen)!
Therefore, there are a few things to consider when using this mod:
If using mod on an existing save game, save in a space station before installing the mod.
If removing the mod, save in a space station before removal.
Prop placement will be indirectly changed (even if minimally) due to the fact that terrain affects prop placement.
If using on existing save, existing bases and settlements will more than likely be at the wrong height compared to the changed terrain.
If using in multiplayer, terrain will be different than anyone not using the mod.
If mod is used by multiple players, all of those players will see exactly the same terrain.
If using with a separate "biome" mod, you will need to combine it with TERRA FIRMA 2. (Check the provided file list to verify conflicting files.)
Planets can have very different terrain many miles from where you are. DO NOT assume what you're seeing at one location is all of the terrain variety on the planet.
Installation:
1. Add the .pak files inside DUD'SSKY.zip file to: C:/(NMS installation folder)/No Man's Sky/GAMEDATA/PCBANKS/MODS folder.
2. Rename or delete C:/(NMS installation folder)/No Man's Sky/GAMEDATA/PCBANKS/DISABLEMODS.txt.
3. Enjoy.
