questions about planet biome maps(need some help please)

[noobsrtoast]

i was just wondering if planetary biome maps were absolutely necessary for creating planets in the kopernicus mod, i am trying to create a planet for the game, my program of choice for this is blender, so i can make my map, my normal map, and my height map for sure, but i dont know about the biome map, if a biome map is needed can someone point me to a program where its possible to make one?

A biome map is only needed if you want your planet to have biomes for science. Definitely not something you need to do when you're still working on the planet itself. You can just make it later, using something like GIMP or Photoshop. It's quite a simple texture to create compared to those other three.
