PERTAM 2.0 / 4800km Planet

@[JSF] Nightspeedy: As mentioned below there is or at least was a 1.270km diameter earth like planet on the workshop. I can't find it anymore with reasonable effort... might have been taken down by the creator...

Hey man, do you happen to know of any more planet mods that are way too big to be playable?

@vdioda: Hi vdioda, got little to no time atm - so it's a no unfortunately. But there is a 1.270km diameter earth-like planet on the workshop afaik. Maybe that will suit your needs.

Hi, can you make earthlike too?

@Barn: Great (and a bit of a relieve tbh). I already thought about scaling the planet down to prevent the unloading and maybe adding different biomes but I haven't found time in month to dive back into the config files and wrap my head around the neccessary calculations. I also think a custom moon or two and/or an asteroid field/ring to accompany the planet might be nice but that's just too much to do right now. Maybe in winter I'll find the time for a Pertam 3.0.

Thank you for your response, I've found them :)
I was also wondering if you were interested in making a 1-2k diameter version, which would substantially help with issues that arise from a planet this massive in-game.
Aside from the unloading of the planet sometimes, currently terrain in mountainous regions unload in the view of the player, causing the terrain to sort of "wrap around" the player, making for a dizzying experience. I assume the only real way to fix this would be either increasing view distance past the limits of the game settings or masking this effect with the curvature of the planet. I've tried increasing the view distance to 250km but this has resulted in the planet unloading.
Still, I love huge planets for SE, especially with real orbits, and I think this concept should be further explored.

@Barn: Yes there should be spawns for ores but they might be relatively sparse/have larger distances between them.

Does the mod spawn ores?

Yeah, basically it loads it into your Rapid Access Memory or RAM so whenever you move to another part of the planet it pulls it from your ram and loads it there. Since this map is huge it requires a large amount of RAM.

This is honestly super dope it should be in the base game
