DESCRIPTION:

A visual makeover of one of the "Plateau" Biomes.

The "Plateau" Biomes all share a similarly arid and dusty appearance, especially those on barren planets or moons. This mod edits one of the "Plateau" Biomes and turns it into a vast ice sheet that is covered by black volcanic ash, similar to the real-life glaciers in Iceland. The weather has also been adjusted to enhance the landscape's appearance, and the stunning valley fog is a common occurrence. On rare occasions, you can also get the "Burning Haze" weather phenomenon that simulates a distant volcanic eruption.

This mod is a "skin pack" for the biome. It does not alter gameplay mechanics such as flora, fauna, resources, keywords, or quests.

The biome is now called "Volcanic Glacial Plateau". The biome can be found on ten celestial bodies, as listed below. The blue ice looks particularly vibrant on planets or moons with a blue sky, but different sky colours can give the landscape different vibes. The sky colours are shown in brackets.

Nirvana III (Orange)
Cassiopeia II-a (Blue)
Al-Battani III (Orange)
Enlil V (Blue)
Lontrah (No atmosphere)
Ourea (Red)
Stellis-A (Blue-green)
Foucault V-b (Yellow-green)
Muphrid II (Orange)
Charybdis VI (Blue)

Only two of the celestial bodies on the list are "inferno" planets. Just think of the blue ice as a crystal of a mineral.

Various changes:

Renamed the biome to "Volcanic Glacial Plateau"

This is just a name change, and there's no gameplay implication.

Retextures of the terrain

The landscape has been given a black, blue, and white colour scheme. The distribution is intentionally "busy" to blend in the proc-gen terrain elements. Of note, a few of the caves and planetary trait POIs, like the "Global Glacial Recession" POI of Casseiopea II-a, appear perfectly blended into the background landscape, like this:

Weather changes:

The stunning valley fog is now an almost permanent feature
"Burning Haze" weather has been added.

INSTALLATION: Download the file via a mod manager. The mod can be installed mid-game. For those of you who are approaching the BA2 limit, you can find the loose file version under the "Miscellaneous Files" section. The Main File is not needed.
