This mod adds over 70 new planet textures to the game to increase the variety of planets you can find. It also adds some variations to the planet types that exist, but no new ones and no new conditions (get Unknown Skies for that!). Naturally comes with new planet descriptions for the more unique variants.

For instance: Desert planets will spawn as salt desert, basalt desert or brine sea planets - or as normal desert, using one of the alternate "desert" textures included in the mod. This applies to most planet types.

The mod does not increase the amount of planets, and does not* change any existing planets. It is purely visual.
*except for two types.

I know this isn't the purpose of this pack, but I had the thought go through my mind of what if unknown skies had a compatibility patch for additional stuff besides the visuals for these.

[SirHartley]

Awesome mod.

Thank you

I know this isn't the purpose of this pack, but I had the thought go through my mind of what if unknown skies had a compatibility patch for additional stuff besides the visuals for these.

I'm talking to James, the current US maintainer - we're looking to shuffle some content around between the two mods and will be cooperating on a patch that sets up Kaleidoscope as the "Variants for existing planets" and Unknown Skies as the "New planet types" mod (this means, for instance, that Fungal and Metal worlds will move to US). The move includes variants for the US planets in my mind, but it's not finalized yet.

I'm talking to James...

I love you guys. hearts_for_eyes_emoji.jpg

Thanks for the fast update. Even if there aren't particularly notable mechanical difference, it helps the place be PRETTY.

Just wanted to give appreciation to the author of these mods, what a great collection of mods you have given to this community, just wanted to thank you for the hard work that you give for this amazing game and I hope you continue being awesome.

I think this mod caused Duzahk to have like 50 planets in orbit, overlapping and stuff.

Thank you, I sincerely appreciate it

I think this mod caused Duzahk to have like 50 planets in orbit, overlapping and stuff.

That is a development feature that only ever happens if you use devmode, which you really shouldn't - it breaks a bunch of stuff with mods. I'll try to remember to disable this for the next release, but since I need it to actually make the mod, I can't promise I'll remember. Very sorry for the inconvenience!

[Zalpha]

I love this mod, it is great. I just wanted to check, is this mod compatible with Unknown Skies?

[SirHartley]

Yes, the mods function alongside each other, US is even linked in the mod post because you will get the best experience using them both at once

[Roselian]

Hello, I saw your MOD introduction on Reddit earlier, and some of the images reminded me of many 4X strategy games, which are very exciting!

May I forward this mod to the China Starsector forum (fossic.org)? And can it run normally under 0.97a-RC11?

Heya, anyone know where could I find a list for the planet type for each different named variant? Id love to use them for a console command that changes planet type, so I can use TASC alongside the commands to terraform planets into the variants from this mod.
