[0.90] Plock Plus (Outer Planets Mod Plock Extension) (Rainboros have been removed) [1.0.3]

[Elowiny]

The outer planets mod by CaptRobau is great, but for now, it lacks a "real" Plock, with moons and stuff. This Planet Pack adds a texture for Plock, along with a bunch of moons !

Let's take a closer look at the new stuff...

Chokon

Chokon is the Charon analog. It orbits very close to Plock and it's quite large compared to Plock itself.

Adryx

Adryx is the Hydra analog in this mod. It's a little moon orbiting not so far from Plock, but it's small.

Xin

Xin is the anolog for Nix. It's very dense, causing it to have a very high gravity for it's size, and it also have a large weird spike on it's north pole.

Mli

Mli is the analog for Styx. It have weird colors all over it's surface.

lol

and I thought my alternate colors for the gas giant were weird!

[Elowiny]

Yeah I know some colors are funny.

The funnier a moon is, the more you want to see it.

I like the mod just not the rainbow. May DL if it becomes a little more normal, but if not grats on the mod!

Yea, I would like Rainboros more if the colors were more darker.

[Elowiny]

I will make rainboros' color darker.

[tygoo7]

Nice planet pack! Yeah, I agree with the less extreme raindbows since it doesn't look that realistic. Also I noticed that the shadows/lighting is offset like 90 degrees?

[TonyC]

Wait. A mod for a mod for a mod for a game.

That's silly I like the ideas though.

[Elowiny]

The shadow lighting is a bug. IDK why it happens.

[CaptRobau]

You can fix that by setting the normal map to 50% opacity in Photoshop or some other graphics editor.

I love this OPM addon. Really nice to have a Pluto-Charon system analog, as like in the real solar system, the Gas Giants and their moons are inevitably really similar to eachother.

But

Like others who have posted though, the only real criticism I have is with a few of the textures. Please don't get me wrong, the work is great and I use and like this mod but one of the great things about OPM is that everything looks very much like it could be stock.

Rainboros, as others have mentioned, in particular stands out. Maybe if the transition between the colours (not just on Rainboros) was less abrupt, and if they were a little paler or more pastel, it would keep that original idea while at the same time keeping everything looking like the mod it all adds to.

TL/DR: I like the mod, but some textures could be more 'natural' looking.

Will there be any conflict if I have the minor bodies mod installed too?

OPM doesn't work with other planet packs, Only this one and Outer Planets Plus

[Elowiny]

Rainboros is now darker., as many of you requested.

There is a compatibility with OPM and Minor Bodies. Specifically, they replace Eloo with a smaller planet called Berdim and Eloo becomes a moon of one of the OPM gas planets.

I'm wondering, though, if this Plock mod will be incompatible with any Eloo changes.

[Nicholander]

Uhh... Well, NOW it works with OPM, because OPM now uses KopernicusTech. And Berdim does NOT become a smaller planet if OPM is installed, it becomes a moon of Plock. (I forgot to remove that CFG which makes it a moon of Plock before OPM was updated, but now there's no reason to remove it)

[Elowiny]

Good news everyone, the next update will fix the 90° light bug ! Thanks to Nicholander for the trick !

[Astrofox]

If your going to create biomes for Rainboros, you may as well have them for the moon's colors .

[MoeKitsune]

I would download this, but Rainboros ruined it for me.

I have to say, I feel the same way. Could we remove the rainbow rock and still enjoy the rest of the mod add-on?

You can if you open the system.cfg with Notepad+ or something.

That's what I did, and then I used Minor Bodies mod's alternate Berdim OPM config (it puts a former moon of Eeloo around Plock) to plug the gap.

[Elowiny]

Okay, I will remove Rainboros if nobody likes it.

EDIT : Done, Rainboros is gone.

I dled now and really like the mod these are going to be some nice late game goals. Look forward to any future additions.

[hm0119]

So I saw that roughly each of the moons was analogs for moons in the Pluto-Charon system, my question is Was Rainboros supposed to be a Kerberos analog and now you'll have to add another moon in?
