Planet Earth

Detailed and realistic planet Earth in 8k with peaceman's Water mod. The project started late in June 2024 and reached playable state with the ore update in mid November 2024.


* First make sure that you have Community Edition of Medieval Engineers: https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/app/333950/discussions/0/3281443422921527964/

1. Before starting the game, set planet radius in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\MedievalEngineers\Content\Data\Scenarios\Scenario_EmptyPlanet.sbx

find <Radius>5000</Radius> and change it to <Radius>25000</Radius>

(I recommend between 25 km to 100 km. At 25 km radius, most rivers are 25 m wide, 5 m deep. If planet radius is 50 km, most rivers would be 50 m wide and 10 m deep. If you want really big mountains, crank the radius to 100 km. You can change the radius back to original value after your world is created.)

2. Start the game and go to Custom World, select Planet Earth on the scenario list. (No need to select Water Core as mod because it is already set as dependency.)

3. Once you are in the world, set tides to fix sea level completely (you need to press LAlt+F10 and enable creative mode tools first):
/tide max -1
/tide min 1
if you set tides wrong, simply do
/tide reset
then repeat the above commands.

Make sure that "Compressed saved games" is unchecked in game options. Save your game and exit.

4. Open ...AppData\Roaming\MedievalEngineers\Saves\[NameOfYourWorld]\Sandbox.sbc
Find <ViewDistance>2600</ViewDistance> and change it to <ViewDistance>15000</ViewDistance>
if your planet radius is not 25 km, make ViewDistance 60% of the radius as peaceman suggests.

• Better and dense roads over Europe, Middle East and North Africa. The rest is made with no change on heightmap
  
• Physical water feature names on map (sea, lake, bay...etc)
  
• Added three new grid block count levels with new icons making it to total of six levels: 10, 60, 300, 1200, 3600 and 7200 blocks for icons.
  
• Large patches of every ores on realistic mineral locations and smaller patches of copper, iron and tin everywhere. (JRC Publications)
  
• Increased water depth for shallow waters and seas to minimum of 25 m and navigable rivers to 5 m depth. (gebco)
  
• Uplifted lowlands above global sea level (gebco)
  
• Rivers and some of the coasts are partially hand drawn (naturalearth & bluemarble)
  
• Rivers and lakes at high altitudes are removed due to water level being same everywhere. Removed lakes are represented as dry lakes.
  
• Most rivers are 25 m wide and 5 m deep, except there are smaller rivers in Europe, Middle East and North Africa. Smaller rivers can be a whole river or branch of a larger river or begginning part of it.
  
• There are some coasts I modified according to past Medieval geography. These are The Netherlands, Po River delta, Nile delta, shores of Basra and Adam's Bridge that connects Sri Lanka to India. (euratlas)
  
• Desert oases are placed on wetlands (hydrosheds)
  
• Trees are placed on according to Nasa Land Cover Classification, but in some biomes Cropland/Natural Vegetation Mosaic is also partially considered as forest.
  
• Modified water surface color (a blit lighter and glossy blue).
