''Better Planet Generation'' (BPG) greatly expands the biomes and diversity of planets. However, <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> also greatly alters terrain generation. Due to its terrain manipulation, there are a few things to be aware of before installing it: # {{fc|instruction|Better Planet Generation ''cannot'' be used on saves where player bases and settlements already exist.}} #: Since <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> alters the terrain, player bases that exist ''before'' <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> is installed risk being buried, floated, etc. A new game would be required. # {{fc|instruction|Once installed, Better Planet Generation ''must'' remain for the duration of that save.}} #: Removing <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> and continuing to play will likely result in crashes, buried/floated bases, etc. # {{fc|red|There may be prolonged waiting periods between game updates and when Better Planet Generation updates to be compatible.}} #: This is a large aspect to consider because during these periods, games with <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> present may become unplayable. This depends on the severity of the issue(s) caused from a game update. It's not been uncommon for such periods to be months in length. However, the author is working towards making <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> more hardened against game updates. #:* With that said, the question of ''why'' <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> would even be in the Guide is likely to come up. The answer to that is simple. What <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> brings to the game experience far outweighs these potential negatives for most long-time players. Once <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> is experienced, the game feels barren without it. #:* The best practice when <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> is installed is to maintain two separate games/saves. One with <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> present and one without it. This will allow players to continue to play and use this Guide while <abbr title="Better Planet Generation">BPG</abbr> is recovering from game updates. <div class="mpheading">Installation</div> {{Alert|type=warning|text='''Read the paragraphs above''' before installing this mod! * If the decision is made to skip BPG, ''Exosolars Grass Fix'' may still be installed. * If there is a '''{{fc|red|RED bar}}''' at the beginning of this mod listing in this mod table, '''DO NOT''' use this mod! This indicates BPG is current incompatible with the current game version.}} # Download the '''''Main File''''' # Extract the '''PAK''' file from the downloaded archive to the ''ModScript'' folder in AMUMSS: <code>..\AMUMSS\ModScript</code> # Now using the downloaded archive from Step 1, install the mod in MO. ## Rename the installed PAK (in MO) from ''___MOD_BETTER_PLANET_GENERATION.pak'' to: <code>_BETTER_PLANET_GENERATION.pak</code>
