How much additional rendering time you pay for, or was it all relaxed mode? Any V4s in here?

Loving the mod so far! I can finally make it so my terraformed worlds don't keep default portraits  Neither restored mairaath nor ocean ithaca should look like barren deserts, and this mod offers a solution.
I did have a few issues with changing a few images, (namely Boe's Refuge, Hesperus and Kapteyn Starworks), but having it so I could change the look of other factions and transfering it to the indies temporarily solved it.
It also had a few images missing, but that could be from it being added midgame. Once again, EXTREMELY minor.

Added the mod to a new save, but after several reloads,my colonies don´t get a new image nor the option to change it.

Vanilla planets did get a new background.

yup yup looks like a bug. Thank you!

Total around 100€ for a 3-month subscription, mostly used relaxed (when fast ran out lol), ran up close to 200 hours. No V4s, the generation part was done before V3 released and I spent the remainder of the time doing the sorting, cleaning and tags.

oh, what was missing? It should have images for all vanilla planets. If you want to enable in-game changing temporarily, opening the console and typing "devmode" enables the change overlay.

Nice. :D

This is one of the best uses of AI art I've seen yet. Giving even a small degree of character to the results of procedural generation is an amazing feat.

I'll definitely use it after I upgrade my PC.

EDIT: I looked over the gallery and noticed that basically every illustration displaying a planet's surface has at least some atmosphere. I understand that many of the subsurface illustrations work just fine for the barren/No Atmosphere worlds we'll take for our cores, but if you ever feel like adding more options, something like the outside of a moon colony would be nice.

Seems to be the same bug I had (had a few vanilla markets get broken images, and could not change the image in a few conquered markets.)

I colonised new planets and built a new station, I did get the option to change background for those.

However I noticed that if I only have the "station" filter I don´t see nothing, I need to have "hostile" as well to see any options (and then use other filters into the mix). Is that intended?

How much VRAM does this require? I'm not 100% sure but these are probably preloaded by the game and exist in memory that entire time.

...
VRAM-Impact can be high - the mod only loads images in systems you visit, but cannot un-load them, so VRAM use can be up to 250mb depending on your actions.
If you are playing on a system with a weak graphics card (< 2gb VRAM), consider not using this mod.

I messed around with my free trial. I got one really good result. It might work for an irradiated world with volcanism. I think it turned out real good. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get it to generate entirely blue sand. The AI always just insinuated sand, desert, and regolith to be orange-tan and then blended blue into it as part of the skyline.
