sorry, I just had to

this one has caught my attention the most. thank you for your plans to update it in the near future. cant wait.

@Dathiris, thanks dude, still waiting on my new video card. Hopefully I'll get it soon, so I can continue to update the planets.

Don't worry about it, there isn't any rush here. Space engineers is a game about solving problems and when you can't solve a problem you work around it.
Take your time, good luck.

It might be some of them need updates, I'm without a graphics card currently, using the integrated one, I'm gonna try to get a new one very soon. Then I'll be able to update all planets. Sorry for the delay.

This planet had some issues with crystalia for me, messed with her textures. only other planet mods I had when this happened as I was trouble shooting are ones from your SMU planets collection.
No idea whats going on with my game.

Updates are coming, stay tuned :D

Does anyone know why my game crashes whenever I try and load a world with this mod active? I've done exhaustive testing of my modlist, and it's definitely this one.

@Z6NE, this planet has only been discovered by light spectrum analysis, nevertheless since it's close by to the black hole there's a lot of distortion in time going on, which makes the study of it close to impossible. So there's not much known, except the approximate size.

did this planet ever get explored?

Sadly no I was unable to upload the zip folders in those areas and my host was not helping at all. Hopefully keen will add enable cloud modding one day. I did get another planet of yours and two moons that don't have custom clouds they look aswome.

@Nyx Blackmoore, so did you get the clouds working for you server?

Thanks, well otherwise you won't be able to see my work :-p. Ok let me know if it works for you when you get at it.

Oh I am so sorry didn't mean to make you re-write all that. Sorry for the confusion maybe I could of worded it better. Been doing server stuff non stop since last night and my brain has had it. I will go at this again when I get home. Thanks for all your hard work, modders like you are the reason I still play.

Ok not sure where we're at, but let's take this from the start.
1) Download the Planet with steamworkshopdownloader ( this downloads a .tmp file )
2) Rename that file's extension to .zip
3) Open that zip file and unzip the contained folder (PLANET) onto your desktop.
4) Go to your desktop and open the recently unzipped folder.
5) Go into the Textures folders, and Cut the "UO309Clouds" folder.
6) Paste it onto your desktop.
7) Now begin the upload procedure:
a) Upload the (PLANET) folder into your server mod folder
b) Upload the "UO309Clouds" folder into your server Sky folder.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Textures\Models\Environment\Sky\

This is the way to install them currently, I know its a pain in the a$$ but until KSH enables cloud modding I can't make it easier.

Please check step by step. Hope this helps out. Remember you do not have to upload any zip files, only folders.

Cheers!

Nope my host won't let me upload a zip file in there for some odd reason. So I took the contents of the clouds folder and moved them in into the sky folder under textures. I am unable to copy the folder into my servers mod folder because my host will not let me upload zips in there for some darn reason so I was just wondering if there was a way around it all or if I am just out of luck.

I guess I will be making a video on how to go about this issue. Many people seem to struggle with the installation. It is definitely not intuitive.

@Nyx Blackmoore, hi there. Pink atmosphere means that the clouds are not in the correct path.
I'm not sure if the are issues with clouds in server environments.

The clouds should not be inside the zip file, you have to extract them to a folder named "UO309Clouds". So you should upload that folder into the above mentioned path, let me add here again for better viewing:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Textures\Models\Environment\Sky\

So the clouds folder should be inside "Sky"

Let me know if this helped, otherwise I'll check out what could be the issue.
I just wish the developers would activate cloud modding once and for all.

Cheers!

My host won't let me upload zip files into the textures and mod folder for some reason. I tried adding the mod to the server then taking the contents of the clouds folder and put those in the textures-sky area to no avail. Got the planet in and all was fine but the atmo was pink. Any ideas around this or am I just out of luck?

i dont under stand the instructions

Not sure what you mean. I just downloaded the zip archive from the link above, and all .dds images are present.

All you need to do is unzip those 4 files into the "Sky" folder, without them being inside another folder.
Maybe at the moment of unzipping the files they were extracted into a new folder, within Sky, which would not work.

Let me know how it went!

no .dds

So it should read: .../Sky/UO309Sky_Alphamask.dds, etc.

The problem might be that this planet does not have the clouds in its own folder, so you should just unzip the content of the archive, into the "Sky" folder

atmoshpere is purple

OK I've re-uploaded but with the custom clouds included. So there are 2 ways for the clouds now.
1) If you SUBSCRIBE, you will need to download the clouds from the link above.
2) If you DOWNLOAD the mod with "steam workshop downloader", follow the instructions in the included txt file.

I'll be uploading this in a few minutes.

Woo! Thank you!

@Spades, I gave this a little more thought, and realized that I can actually include the clouds with the mod, people will just have to cut the folder containing them and paste it into game "content" folder.
I will be updating this today.

Fair enough!

@cosmicdevin, sounds good!

@Spades, hi there, well this is something KSH hasn't really worked on: Planet Modding.
There are many aspects of this which aren't incorporated or broken. So for the time being outside content is a must for most custom planet stuff, except textures. I'm still waiting for them to enable these modding aspects for planets.
Wish I could help you out.

Well, time to start theorizing! I started a discussion on what this all means! Let's all try to figure out the mystery of UO309!

What was the reason the clouds couldn't be contained in the pack? I ask because I was hoping to use this star system in a server but I don't want players needing to hunt down the external files when they join the server.

It will work halfway without the clouds. They will appear pink, the rest fine.

Will this work without the clouds?

Also get 7zip Temyus. Is good. Also free. No trial. Just free.

For someone that want to know how is this moon inside:

@Space Mining Universal This is my fav pic: http://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=855912281

I will post the information on the SMU Planets workshop page. In there you can follow what I'm up to, what's coming next, etc.

How do I know when a new scenario is uploaded by you?

thx i will try that.

@Temyus, have you tried an other compression app so you can have more trial days? Try with Winrar. You should be able to extract the files just fine. But you do need an app to extract the contents.

tried to download clouds, turns out my winzip was a trial. any tips on extracting without winzip?

Yes indeed it does have a major relevance in the lore. This relevance will be revealed in the upcoming scenarios for this star system.

Will this have some relevance in S.M.U's "lore"?

@Apollo, hi, I will make some gas giants but not from our solar system.

If you can make the planet Neptune

Thanks! Have a good one!

Great, glad it worked out! Have fun
