Navigational Galaxy

In 1 collection by Cai Lun
New Eden Skybox collection
34 items
Description
this skybox is the base starfield for the New Eden Skybox collection

Milky Way galaxy starfield
- the visible starfield observed from our solarsystem
- skybox aligned with the galactic plane

Navigational constellations
- navigate by the stars as people have done for thousands of years
- faintly visible constellation lines with yellow colored zodiac signs
- slighty increased constellation line visibility when viewed through glass

Deep space ambiance
- deep space ambient environment to simulate the immense empty vastness of outer space
- added black space fog to darken objects at range before they are not being rendered anymore
- adjusted star size and position to match the starfield, with the sun in the Virgo constellation

Customized lighting
- slighty reduced solar light with increased shadows and added environmental lighting
- various subtle tweaked lighting glares to complement the dark ambient environment
- polished windows; reduced dirt and inside reflection on glass
- increased ranges on spotlights and interior lights to light up space

All lighting changes have been made in respect to the default settings. Make sure other custom lighting mods are listed above this mod in your active mods-list when you prefer to use those.
Check out the galactic skybox for a Milky Way galaxy without constellation lines and default lighting.

Thanks for your update, these boxes been build before dx11 so they might have some unexpected features

Hi there. :cozyspaceengineersb:
I found that, this mod causes the wrong hitbox for Interior Light block.
Also for some reason they are all "unfinished" state, even though they are 100% welded, they doesnt glow. :cozyspaceengineersa:

This is very annoying, so I recommend to not use before it will be fixed. Take care :tl2engineer:

Wish there was something like this more recent, I do not like the newest skybox Keen has released. At all.

Ive been using this skybox on my server for some time and I really love it. The only problem is that i get complaints that its too dark. But i dont want to change anything else. Is there a way to change this so that it is completely navigable, has the constalation lines, but just has the normal lighting?

Have been having similar spotlight problems, even with the default skybox setup. Hopefully it is a minor bug that will be fix soon.

got the same small dot in spotlight and that is it

I've been having an issue, spotlights do not light up anything in front of them at all, except for a small, faint pinprick appearing on the lens of the light. However, everything behind the spotlight gets lit up decently alright. I noticed this trying to affix a spotlight to the belly of the respawn ship, and I could not recreate this issue on other skyboxes. Any clue what's going on?
