[UNRELEASED, STILL A WIP] Star-Speckled Skies - A real, challenging solar system pack.

[timmy kerman]

For ages, ages, and yet more ages I have been seeking a particular kind of planet pack - I have achieved similar results to what I want with other planet packs, and by mixing others, but it just doesn’t feel… right, for some reason. I have come to a conclusion.

SCREW IT, I‘LL DO IT MYSELF!

The goal of this planet pack is very simple. To add star systems, lots of them, and to make sure they feel… real. Too many planet packs are just stuffed with habitable worlds and exotic bodies like neutron stars and black holes. Maybe one of the only exceptions to this is REX, but it’s very outdated  and it shows. As well as this it just simply lacks compatibility for most modern graphical mods. So, I’ve decided to make my own!

 

Unlike other system adders, this one won’t add a habitable world or deep-space anomaly every single system. Rather, it will have realistic, believable systems at realistic, believable distances. All systems will be cool to visit, however, and I will try to give them their own quirks and interesting features to make them unique. Keep in mind that they will NOT be inspired by real distant solar systems, though, so they will be all fully my own creations.

 

I can’t wait to share the first system with you all once it’s done!

great! can't wait

although I am making a pack like this, yes, it does have 4 blackholes, but it simulates a older star system with larger star, it also only has one habitable planet

That sounds awesome. While I would like to add a black hole, there are people out there that could probably do it better than me, (like you) and it people feel a bit out-of-place with the general idea of the pack. This one won’t necessarily have one habitable world, but I will try to make the ones that are there very much rare proportional to the number of star systems. Think one habitable world for every 7+ stars.

 

Just to clarify, I’m not hating on planet packs that aren’t realistic. I just think that there should be some that aren’t.
