Mod Details
Biome Changes
Sandy Desert Biomes have less rocks.
Most Forests will be denser, but not all! (A few even had a decrease!)
A few "Frozen Forests" had a slight increase in density, as well as a swamp and a wetlands.
Extreme Biomes are now more Barren.
Added NPC markers as a filler in Biomes that needed some extra or had some extra spacing. This includes human as well as creatures, so all NPCs should react to their landscape better!
Rocks
Makes changes to the basic rocks found on most planets. (Not any unique rock formations!) There are less rocks, they are smaller, and they have a smaller footprint. Driving on planets will be easier!
Vegetation
Random Sizing! Includes Trees, Shrubs, and the Scannable Flora!
Fauna (Animals)
Lairs have been changed to not appear as frequently and more randomly.
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.
Fauna will spawn farther apart and will have more random sized groups.
- It is possible to encounter larger groups than before!
Changed Preys' level scaling to very hard.
- This gives large groups of prey a good fighting chance against predators!
Compatibility
NOT COMPATIBLE: Fantastical Frontiers, Rocks, or Fauna.
Everything else is compatible!
- If you have any mods that edit specific biomes or parts within, load directly AFTER this mod to use that biome change.
- Adding to a save game: Since it edits biomes it is possible any already placed outpost items may need to be replaced, moved, or it may ruin your outpost entirely.

Strip any equipped armor or clothes from your fallen foes! Or simply loot-all with 1 button. Steal items from knocked-out targets instead of pick-pocketing and waking them up!

Turns Gravity Wave into a proper “force push” power, using ragdoll physics instead of the vanilla knockdown animations. Designed to be fair and balanced.
