Biome Remake - Sandy TAU CETI VIII-B
By Willzone89
Community Rating
DESCRIPTION A major change has occurred on the moon of Tau Ceti VIII. CO2 levels have stabilized, and the air has become breathable. The magnetosphere has strengthened, protecting living beings from solar radiation. Temperatures rose just enough to alter the landscape, prompting native animals to migrate away from the tropical regions. Beyond the oceans, extensive erosion generated vast quantities of sand, burying the tropical biome and spreading—albeit to a limited extent—into other areas. Ocean water has been made safe for living beings and now humanity can now settle on this exomoon, which offers a wonderful view over the planet Tau Ceti VIII and its other satellites.
FEATURES The biome changes are confined to the moon called Tau Ceti VIII-B. No other planets have been affected.
- NEW! Custom New Atlantis climate with 10% rain probability (Tropical, Savanna, Ocean)
- NEW! 6 flora and 10 fauna species populated the Sandy Tropical Forest biome
- NEW! 4 fauna species populated the Sandy Ocean biome
- Added Sandy Tropical Forest, Sandy Ocean, and Sandy Savanna biomes
- Better coastlines with only sands and heavily reduced volcanic rocks
- Changed default rocks with Aquamarine rocks in Tropical Forests
- Removed native "Predator" and "Prey" fauna from "Sandy Tropical Forest" biome
- Increased temperatures to 27 degrees Celsius
- Stronger magnetosphere

- Potable water
In addition to the default flora and fauna, biomes have been populated with additional species:
- (Flying) SMALL Brainblimps, Drones, Jellyfins, Canards
- (Land) SMALL Crabs, SMALL Beetlecrabs, 4 species of Milliwhales
- Flora with Custom Resources: Prickly Awaj (Bog's Grog), Sweetwater Cactus (Distilled Water), Sweet Goldenglow (Peach fruit), Ash Flower (Alien Energy Drink), Ginger Cage Vine (Structural)
- (Ocean) SMALL Bladeheads, Flukes, Exowhales, Finbacks
- (Savanna/Decidous/Mountains) Swarming Foxbats
Note: All added species have been set to a peaceful temperament.
COMPATIBILITY Built without external resources (full Vanilla) It can be placed at the bottom of the order list and should be compatible with other biome override mods (will be checked). Make sure to load it after them.
MODS REPRESENTED IN IMAGES The flora represented in the images has been enhanced with other mods. Without using these mods, the vegetation will appear less dense and smaller.
If you are a PC user I recommend these ones to replicate the scene:
- Real Water HD 2
- Groundish Ground (Set ground normal depth to 2 recommended)
- Enhanced Flora (Make sure to have enough pc power)
Console players can use, for example, Water Visual Improvements and Cosmic Growth - Taller Trees mods instead
