Lava Field - Biome Visual Transformation [XB1]

Description

A visual overhaul by ZY20042 that transforms one of Starfield's volcanic biomes into a vast landscape of glowing lava fields and hostile volcanic weather.

This mod completely reimagines the VolcanicRoughNoLife02 biome by covering the terrain with glowing lava and enhancing the atmosphere with thick ash clouds, volcanic lightning, falling ash, and reduced visibility. The lava is purely cosmetic and designed to resemble hardened crusted lava, making it believable to traverse while creating a dramatic volcanic environment.

This mod functions as a visual "skin pack" for the biome and does not alter gameplay systems such as flora, fauna, resources, keywords, or quests.
