Better Snow and Arctic Parallax

Description
This simple mod improves the look of Snow and Arctic planets backgrounds.

It removes weird huge trees in the deepest snow parallax, and clears a lot of the arctic parallaxes.
Because why was there moutains everywhere on a frozen-sea planet anyway?

Be aware that all these changes are applied to already explored Snow planets, but NOT to already generated Arctic planets.
It means that if you want an Arctic planet without the moutains in the background, you will have to explore a new Arctic planet. Else it will still have moutains,yet lower and cleaner.


Don't forget to check my other mod that improve Lush and Forest parallaxes if you're interrested:

Reminds of Antartica's wall in the edge of world.

@chexo4 : I think the compression is based on the sprites resolution, so both mods won't work together. It's the one with the higher priority (which I don't know).

Is this compatible with that mod that compresses the vanilla parallax backgrounds? Or does this implement compression on it's own?

Well yes, this is the same base, just with slight change.

I just see no diffrence in the backgrounds. They look exacly the same to me

@Izzazal: It depends of what you think is better?
I lowered the background parallaxes so we can have a better view of the sky ans the moons behind, and I removed the trees in this same parralax that bothered me (don't have the same color as the tree on the planet, they seemed really huge and weird...)
Maybe you like the vanilla more, it's up to you.

How is this better?

Is it possible that you can add an Arctic Only version of this mod? I prefer the vanilla background of the Snow Planets

@*Yuki*: Well, I don't know if I will do it yet... Even if I do, it will be released in some time.
