DESCRIPTION:
Visual overhauls of two of the volcanic biomes.
The volcanic biomes called "VolcanicRoughNoLife09" and "VolcanicRoughNoLife10" are two of the few volcanic biomes that can contain large bodies of water. This mod transforms what would otherwise be dull biomes into colourful volcanic landscapes. Additionally, on moons capable of harbouring water, there are also vibrant turquoise volcanic mineral pools and lakes.
The "VolcanicNoLife09" biome contains large lakes and mountains, and can be found on four celestial bodies:
- Groombridge VIII-d (Oxygen atmosphere, heavy metal water, no magnetosphere)
- Oborum II-a (Methane atmosphere, safe water, no magnetosphere)
- Verne I (Inferno planet, no water). Note: There are two volcanic biomes on Verne I, and only one is affected by this mod.
- Bardeen I (Inferno planet, no water)
The "VolcanicNoLife10" biome (added in Version 1.1) contains a mix of large lakes and small cellular pools, as well as a fissured landscape. This biome can be found on four celestial bodies:
- Huygen VII-a (Nitrogen atmosphere, biological water, no magnetosphere)
- Bardeen V-b (Frozen planet, no water)
- Vern V (Nitrogen atmosphere, safe water, weak magnetosphere)
- Procyon I (Inferno planet, no water)
Essentially, the mod is a "skin pack" for the biomes. The main file does not modify gameplay mechanics such as flora, fauna, resources, keywords, or quests. To make the three moons with water (Groombridge VIII-d, Oborum II-a, and Huygen VII-a) more appealing as a place to visit and to establish an outpost, an optional file is available to modify the planetary characteristics. Hence, they have an oxygen atmosphere, safe water, and a strong magnetosphere. You can imagine the water being warm and create a hot pool spa retreat at the lakeshore.
Various changes:
Main file:
- Retextured the terrain. It is now very colourful.
- The water has a vibrant turquoise colour.
Optional file:
- Changed the planetary characteristics of Groombridge VIII-d, Oborum II-a, and Huygen VII-a by giving them a breathable atmosphere, safe water, and a magnetosphere.
INSTALLATION: Download the files 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.
COMPATIBILITY AND LOAD ORDER: This mod modifies the following vanilla records and will conflict with other mods that edit the same thing:
Main file:
- Biomes (BIOM) VolcanicRoughNoLife09 VolcanicRoughNoLife10
Optional file:
- Planet Data (PNDT) GroombridgeVIII-dPlanetData OborumII-aPlanetData HuygenVII-aPlanetData
This mod does NOT edit weather, worldspaces, or cells.
Load order:
- This mod should be loaded after mods that edit biomes.

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!
