Its flipped, the enitire thing is inverted, left to right, andromeda isn't oriented like that respective to the Milky Way for example, please fix this.

Would it be possible to mirror and rotate the skybox? (See Viper's comment 7 posts below)

After more than an hour sorting out my plugins, I found that this mod affects how ore markers are shown on screen. I'm playing a server where uranium spawns on earth, and whenever I enable this plugin or the weather plugin I can't see uranium markers on spots where there is 100% uranium spawning.

Hi. Is it possible to change the brightness of the environment on planets closer to default? Its pitch black

It appears this Skybox is causing critical errors on game load and cannot be loaded.

I discovered that this amazing skybox is real, but it's displayed mirrored compared to real life. Once I realized it was a mirror image of our real life sky, I was able to find the Southern Cross and subsequently the celestial south pole. From there, I played around with the time offset and discovered that the sun track goes right through the celestial south pole.

So in conclusion, the skybox is mirrored but real and the sun circles the player in a north-south configuration rather than east-west like real life.

i need help, i installed this mod but even after disabling it the skybox is still unchanged, i'd like to return to the vanilla skybox but i dont know what to do please help

Why does this mod make everything dark?
Trik Dec 6, 2020 @ 7:27am

RichDickPeter Jul 7, 2020 @ 4:14pm 
I hope this is brighter than the last one you made cheers

The image in the mod is inverse of the NASA files.

hell ye

Works fine on my side, I just tested in a friends world created Local = OK
Vonafets1 Oct 25, 2019 @ 7:29am 
Same here. Not working.
FunKenGruven Oct 24, 2019 @ 9:22pm 
This mod seems to have quit working since the update today...at least it did for me. I tried unloading and reloading but no dice...
Molten Carnage Sep 23, 2019 @ 2:37pm 
This skybox is missing wind variables in the SBC file

@Patchouli
I am fairly sure it's another mod; try deleting your shadercache.
C:\users\*yourname*\appdata\roaming\spaceengineers\shadercache\*delete files*



@ATT: Mod author!
If this skybox is still flipped, is it okay i fix it and reupload it??

cheers
Patchouli Jul 21, 2019 @ 6:11am 
breaks my savegame! planets are gone! they got deleted!
Planewalker Jul 20, 2019 @ 9:11pm 
IF nights on planets are too dark, use spotlights and lights; easy. =)

Flipping the image should be an easy fix.
karb Apr 17, 2019 @ 7:30am 
Immersive vista. I like how the night gets real dark.
C.DEF Dec 31, 2018 @ 1:31pm 
It overrid my Environment.sbc file. DO NOT RECOMMEND
C.DEF Dec 31, 2018 @ 12:54pm 
I do not have the mod enabled on my world, BUT THE SKYBOX IS STILL THERE!
Mykell Nov 26, 2018 @ 7:57am 
This is just downright beautiful. It makes the environment very realistic. And I couldn't tell one way or the other if something is flipped or not. I guess I'm an engineer, not a scientist. :) Thanks for this skybox.
Kaliroo Nov 5, 2018 @ 12:00pm 
I dont care if the map is flipped! A well done skybox & the ice lakes glitter if your using Doc's vanilla voxel mod. same lighting as Space just got real. WELL DONE! :):steamhappy:
pjaj Oct 14, 2018 @ 1:29am 
Very awesome mod, but a pity it's backwards. First thing I checked was the constellation Crux, and it's flipped... :/
TonyMax.Fr Jul 9, 2018 @ 8:28am 
Very beautifull but too dark for me too.
Stollie Apr 24, 2018 @ 2:55am 
I love this Skybox but it makes playing at night on planets in same ways well.. unplayable.

Too dark to fly around and try and have combat scenario's on planet, even with a bunch of spotlights since spotlights are not very strong in the first place.
Forsaken Chief Apr 20, 2018 @ 2:57am 
Easily my Favorite Skybox, perfect lighting! just real enough but not so dark that building is a pain.

Massive thumbs up. this is going on my Dedicated :D
Dat Newb Feb 18, 2018 @ 11:12pm 
Beautiful skybox, but I think it's inverted.
mattyou1985bba Dec 9, 2017 @ 2:42am 
i think this mod just broke my game has onley a pink Skybox .....granted i can see all my astroids but this aint right lol
vF Oct 3, 2017 @ 5:09pm 
Hello,

Is there a way to make it the stock Skybox? I want to join a server, but it's using the default skybox.
Thanks in advance
space_artist_4real Feb 26, 2017 @ 2:54pm 
It maybe a stupid question but will you incorporate ESA's Gaia data to make yet another skybox but this one being exact (maybe not with scietific accuracy but still extremely detailed)?

It could be the second time I ask I'm not sure.
SergeantShavedBalls Feb 14, 2017 @ 4:16pm 
someething is wrong with the sun texture now...
Gravemind Nov 28, 2016 @ 5:13pm 
I used to love this, but as of a few updates to the game, this skybox makes my game take in excess of 2 minutes to load an offline world. I narrowed it down to this mod, but I'm not sure why it's doing it now.
Gravemind Sep 24, 2016 @ 1:35pm 
This is stunning. Good job on this skybox, OP.
Anach Sep 7, 2016 @ 1:31pm 
@OMoo @Riz, Other than a texture, this mod alters Environment.sbc. The version in this mod either needs updating or removing from the mod. However, if you have another mod that overrides the Environment.sbc, and is updated, then load it after this mod, as it will override the broken Environment.sbc.

@ Riz
I have your problem on the stable branch as well.
Riz Jul 7, 2016 @ 7:10pm 
On the dev branch, I've recently had issues where the sun is missing (really missing, not just not visible) if I start a world with this on. Any idea what's up with that?

nice....... thx for this brillant work
Joseph Sneed May 10, 2016 @ 3:40pm 
No one makes these anymore and the others and default skyboxes look really bad. Thanks for uploading this
Tye Dye Guy May 9, 2016 @ 8:04pm 
Yep Zacharys315, it's definitely your 2gb of VRAM, VRAM handles textures in games, and the more you have the higher resolutions and/or more textures you can handle.
Kinami May 4, 2016 @ 5:50pm 
I have 2 gigabytes of decicated ram for my video card nd my pc is meaning for gaming. If you mean the 2048 pixel version is the standard version, then i think so, but im unsure. Let me test it.
Darth Biomech  [author] May 4, 2016 @ 5:28am 
@Zacharys315
Have you tried to use standard res version? Maybe your videocard can't handle texture of such size?
Kinami May 2, 2016 @ 3:22pm 
Oh, and the flashlight or light sources dont help.
Kinami May 2, 2016 @ 3:22pm 
There is a glitch with this. When I use this, all the planets and blocks i place are PITCH BLACK from EVERY DIRECTION. Wham am I doing wrong?
Gandur May 1, 2016 @ 7:24am 
@humanist: If you want more realistic, try out this one: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=355768668
This is based on the source you mentioned ;)
Darth Biomech  [author] May 1, 2016 @ 6:41am 
I based intensity on the second source image, but I think dx11 in SE brightens texture additionally.
