Version Recommendations - 3.2

Better Planet Generation (BPG) greatly expands the biomes and diversity of planets. However, there are a few things to be aware of before installing BPG:

1. Due to BPG design, players may not be able to completely scan all planets. This may break related quests.

   With that said, the question of why BPG is in the Guide is likely to come up. The answer is, what BPG brings to the game experience far outweighs these potential negatives for most long-term players. Once BPG is experienced, the game feels barren without it.

2. BPG greatly alters terrain generation. Due to its terrain manipulation:
   • Once installed, Better Planet Generation must remain for the duration of that save.

     Removing BPG and continuing to play will likely result in crashes, buried/floated bases, etc.

3. There may be prolonged waiting periods between when the game updates and when Better Planet Generation updates for compatibility.

   This depending 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, in which time games with BPG may be unplayable.

The best practice when BPG is opted for installation is to maintain two separate games/saves. One with BPG present and one without it. This will allow players to continue to play and use this Guide while BPG is recovering from game updates.

Installation

WARNING:

Read the paragraphs above before installing this mod!

1. If BPG will be used on a save that hasn't previous had it installed, download the ___MOD_BPG_LITE-Extract into AMUMSS ModScript folder.7z file

   This prevents bases preexisting from before BPG was installed from being buried, floated, etc.

2. If a new game will be started, download the ___MOD_BETTER_PLANET_GENERATION-Extract into AMUMSS ModScript folder.7z file
3. Extract the PAK file from the downloaded archive to the ModScript folder in AMUMSS: ..\AMUMSS\ModScript
