Test planet for black texure bug. This might fix your issue like it did for my friend

Instructions; Start a new world, select lone survivor or empty world. Select this mod, and load the world. Once loaded in, press Shift + F10, this will bring up the spawn menu. Once the spawn menu is up, select the planets category, and then select the planet named 'Kara'. Once selected, choose the size of the world you want, and paste in the planet.

That should fix your issue if you're experiencing a similar bug.

The issue of the black textures seems to be coming from whatever textures and mesh they use for the atmosphere.

If you want to use other planets, you can actually change the setting yourself. It's a little tedious, but anyone can do it.

Manual Instructions; Start a new world, select whichever scenario you want that comes with the vanilla planets. Load into the game, and assuming you're getting the black texture bug, just log out and save right away after the world loads in and is created.

After that, you need to go to your appdata/roaming folders. Go into the Space Engineers folder, and locate your saves folder. Once you're in your save folders, locate the world that you just created. Once you locate your save folder, inside should be a file called SANDBOX_0_0_0_ which you need to use a textpad editor like notepad++ or just the default one Windows comes with. Once you open it with a text editor, you can do Ctrl + F to bring up a search function. ONce the search function is up, paste in this value <HasAtmosphere>true</HasAtmosphere> Depending on how many planets the scenario that you selected has, you will need to change all the values to false. After changing the values to fasle, save the file and close it. Once closed, there will be another similar named file called SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbsB1 that you will need to delete for the changes to be completed. After you delete SANDBOX_0_0_0_.sbsB1 you can load in your world and any planet that was in the world created will not have an atmosphere.
