Background

Silona was discovered in 498 NE by the Isbern Astronomy League. It's a large, life-bearing moon orbiting a super-earth called Saprimentas 6.8 lightyears from Angelus, and exploring it has become the prime objective of Angelus' extrasolar efforts. Its atmosphere and geography make the planet suitable for human habitation, and its unusually hot and dense heavy-metal core likely denotes the presence of valuable surface ore. Additionally, the heat from the core allows life to thrive in craters and lowlands.

The greatest mystery of the planet is the massive scar that rips across much of its surface. It doesn't appear to be caused by any natural phenomena, but so far there is only conjecture about how it could have happened. Some people believe it may have been an alien weapons testing site, but mainstream sources prefer to say that it is the aftermath of a supervolcano eruption.

Could you update the Mod.io version to this updated version?

Do all of your planets/moons work with MES?

It's a lovely moon, thank you for the hardwork ^.^

This planet is a moon

does this planet have a moon aswell?

In my experience, the performance of the planet is good - it's similar to Mars, and better than Earthlike, with the added bonus of improved performance when traveling at high speeds (because loading times are quicker). Increasing the resolution of the heightmaps might enable for an optimization, but it doesn't improve performance to do so.

Plus, it would require a total redo of the planet. It's not worthwhile.

May want to correct for optimizations.

22:42:07.3083 [ERROR] Keen: Cannot build prunning tree for heightmap face
22:42:07.3083 [ERROR] Keen: Heightmap resolution must be divisible by 8, and after that a power of 4. Failing to achieve so will disable several important optimizations!!

Those error messages are always present with modded planets that have clouds. Pay them no mind; they do not affect anything.
