Explore a more fantastical Starfield! This is the GRiNDTerra Fantasy Biome Overhaul!
Mod Details
Lifeless Planets now means No Fauna. Life Planets mean Fauna. Vegetation can and will be everywhere. Biomes will not look the same or may not even make sense! But that's the point!
New atmosphere for Venus (Yellow) and Titan (Orange)!
- Warning! To get the best experience on the surface, the planets Venus and Titan now have a sun like glow when seen while in space.
New Handmade Biomes!
Barren Biomes will not be common but become a more unique experience.
Vanilla Biomes can be found on different planets, appear different, or have been replaced by something new!
Randomizes the sizes of Flora.
Makes changes to the Proc Gen Rocks! There are less rocks, they are smaller, and they have a smaller footprint.
Fauna now has random sizing!
Fauna will spawn farther apart and will have more random sized groups. It is possible to encounter larger groups than before!
Lairs have been changed to not appear as frequently and more randomly.
Changed Preys' level scaling to very hard.
Edited the Fauna Placements so now when placing fauna won’t have mixed packs of critters and prey/predator spawning together.
Fauna will interact with the landscape better.
Prey will be more curious and will not wait as long to defend their home/herd!
Predators won’t warn you before an attack, and prey warn only 1-2 times based on scenarios.
Predators will wait longer until starting a new hunt.
What does not change?
The resources and the basic terrain patterns are vanilla to ensure maximum compatibility with all types of mods, as well as to help with crafting for users who look up resource guides.
Fauna will be found on the same planets in the same locations. They are not tied to biomes themselves but the planets.

Compatibility
NOT COMPATIBLE: Vanilla Biomes Enhanced, Rocks, or Fauna.
LUT mods can conflict with the new Atmosphere colors of Titan and Venus. (Orange and Yellow Specifically)
This does not edit NPCs. Compatible with everything that does.
- The size randomization is done through other means.
- This will make changes to your playing maps. It is possible when adding to a save that your outposts could be affected. You may just need to redeploy some items. If trying to add or remove, best to do while in space.
You will see biomes that don’t match the planets temperature or air quality etc. This isn’t meant to be lore accurate. Just fun new Fantastical Biomes!
