P-PX001

This mod contains one celestial body: The planet P-PX001. This is a small (moon-sized) planet and contains all ore types in various amounts and distributions.

I use custom software that I wrote myself for making planets, and sometimes when I'm working on new features for that software I'll render planets to test what certain things will look like in the game. This planet was originally one of those test renders, but it turned out somewhat interesting so I figured I'd push it to the workshop because why not? Because this planet was a test render I don't really have a backstory for it, but instead I'll just tell you what I was testing since it reads like a feature list:

- Testing the viability of using 128 x 128 biome maps with 512 x 512 heightmaps. Result is larger forest and ore deposits. I'm on the fence about whether I like this technique or not.

- Tested various different methods of creating rock formations. You'll see these groups of tiny hills everywhere in various shapes and sizes.

- Other internal mumbo-jumbo. Mostly techniques of creating features at different scales and combining them into the heightmap to create a more diverse terrain.
