DESCRIPTION:

A visual overhaul of one of the "Mountains" Biomes.

The "Mountains" Biomes on lifeless planets or moons are pretty uninteresting. This mod edits one of the beige "Mountains" Biomes and turns it into a snowy landscape. The weather has also been adjusted to enhance the landscape's appearance, featuring a variety of foggy weather. In addition, all the out-of-place procedurally-generated terrain elements like boulders and gas vents have been removed.

This mountain biome was chosen because the mountains in this landscape are gorgeous and feature vertical cliffs and sinkholes. Snow works well because it provides a much-needed contrast to the rock face, and of the thirteen planets or moons with this biome, almost all are either "Cold", "Frozen", or "Deep Freeze", and only two planets are hot. Before you start complaining about immersion being broken by finding snow on the two inferno or scorched planets, use your imagination and think of it as mineral deposits like silica or talc.

The biome can be found on thirteen celestial bodies, as listed below:

Alchiba VII-b
Bell V-d
Zeta-Ophiuchi II
Moloch V-c
Rana VI-d
Oborum II-a
Feynman II
Carinae V-c
Indum III-b
Ternion VI
Linnaeus IV-a
Shoza VIII-d

Various changes:

Retextures of the terrain

The landscape has been given a white and red colour scheme

Weather changes:

Added snow to the list of weather
Foggy weather of different intensities is now a permanent feature whenever it's not snowing

Removal of the procedurally-generated terrain elements:

No more boulders and gas vents! (mostly)
This will affect how you scan for resources when doing your planetary survey. Fortunately, the resource veins remain unaffected and can be used to complete your survey, and you still can build an outpost and harvest them with a harvester. Rocks and gas vents can still also spawn near POIs, so more reason to visit them. Or use a cheat QOL mod to complete the survey.

INSTALLATION: Download the file via a mod manager. The mod can be installed mid-game.
