I started up a new character recently and found such a nice home planet.  It has awesome rain storms (complete with lightning) that rain hard enough to fill wells and such.  Randomly the sky will fill up with thousands of shooting stars that blaze by(looks awesome).  Doesn't seem to be any poison water or meteors either, which is nice.

Coords please? I would like to see this.

Ah, I'm at work atm.  I'll try to post it when I get off work today.

Alright.

Beta Quadrant, x=9000 y=8856.
Beta Alnasi Majoris VII b.

I'll see if I can get a screenshot with the shooting stars.

Hm. What's the earth/grass/trees color and leaf theme?

Earth is brown, grass is yellowish(its a savannah), and trees are kinda twisty with green thorns.  The planet has a light green tinted sky.

Screenshot of daytime.
Storming at night

I'm waiting now for the shooting stars...  Hopefully they don't take too long.  Edit:  Too long, I'm bored of waiting.    There are at least two different types of falling stars though, the kind that fall from above, and the ones that zip by horizontally.

I'm thinking of importing some nicer trees though.

That's gorgeous!

The __merge command only works with .config files for now.

Sappho, the "name" line in the .modinfo file doesn't need the angle brackets (<>), but it won't hurt anything unless you try adding content (and even then it still might not hurt anything).

I guess they tried so hard, and got so far,

but in the end, it didn't even matter.

[Flying Dice]

That's gorgeous!

Agreed, looks like I've found a place to settle down...

My home planet is similar. Glitch village, heavy rain, occasional shooting star rain (glowing rain?). Very pretty white trees. Tiny planet though.

Spoiler: Behold! (click to show/hide)

Unfortunately I didn't catch any good shots of the rain, but here's a few sparkles falling down.

Oh wow, that's the same rain I've got on my home (initial) planet! Benevolent light rain! Pretty much love that.

They look like tiny, crystalline meteorites.


You'd better hope there aren't any humungous crystalline meteorites where those came from.

[Sappho]

I modded out the meteors on this planet, so there won't be. : )

[Darkmere]

An asteroid field in my starter system has glowing rain like that. It's pretty fun to mine in harmless micrometeor showers.


So, In other news, I just spent a couple days with the Industrialization mod. I'm usually a pretty patient guy, but let me be completely honest: It's shit.

Spoiler: Example of the waste of time (click to show/hide)

I've done absolutely nothing except grind materials feed the mod's crafting options since I started a character. Ship is untouched, and I'm living in a cave with 4 crates and the... whatever, 7 or 8 crafting stations the mod offers at Tier 1. I've stuffed hundreds of metal bars into the refinery to fund research and am in Delta sector, and have gained zero gameplay benefit from it.

To give you an idea, the first useful gear you get is the carbon pickaxe. It requires one research item that costs you 15,000 pixels. This is about the 25th research item on the list, and you start at 1.

Spending the 15,000 pixels... unlocks 5 more research items which all cost pixels, which let you make components of the pick, which all cost bars and, you guessed it, pixels. Then you get all those components together and spend a few thousand more pixels on top of the thousands you've already dropped and you can finally get your first new item.

It's the grindy-est pile of turds I've ever played, and I played Diablo for several years. Just avoid it for your own sanity.

So I just started a Glitch, and the random generator came up with the name "Jim Beam".

Heh. For those that don't know, that's an alcoholic Whisky + Cola mix, popular in Australia and the US.

[Ultimuh]

It does sound like an awesome sci-fi name for a protagonist.

[Sappho]

I like the name generator in this game. Would be nice to see it expanded, though. There don't seem to be a lot of words in the mix.

Build a giant statue of yourself in all your glory.  Ideally overlooking a village so they never forget.
