WP's Planet View (3.14)

This is my planet viewer mod. It has an emphasis on art / flavour and storytelling. I haven't been satisfied with the planet viewer since the removal of tiles, where considerable flavour was traded off for a rather charmless approach. So I made this!




- A lot of great artwork made by Paradox gets shrunk below it's true resoltuion in the Vanilla UI.
- In this mod that has been undone and you'll see everything at their highest quality level, such as tiles, leaders, buildings, district art. All sorts.

- Displays a new view of the environment on the surface of your planets.
- Leveraged significantly in my "New Worlds" planet variety mod.

- Construct buildings on the actual planet once more, instead of floating in empty UI.
- Cleaned up buildings and removed the resource icons baked into them.



- 80 New animated designation emblems to show off your colony types.
- One for every type supported by Vanilla (unique on ring-worlds, habitats, primitives, etc.)



- I've expanded the screen to get much more space to view your populations.
- With a strata open the UI actually looks a lot like the old tile UI.

- I love armies and this screen was a real pet project for me.
- Forces now do battle on art for your actual planets environment.
- Restructured layout (modelled on the classic pre 2.2 style with orbit and the atmosphere fields.)
- Bigger, clearer army icons at the same resolution as those seen in the console edition.
- New strength/rarity animations on icons.

- See the local star (including binary and trinary) in the sky above your cities.
- Planets are now bathed in a light that matches the local star.
- For eg. the big scary class-M systems will cast worlds in red light.
- Some stars cast white light, some blue, some purple, you get the picture.
- Affects ALL planets, not just colonies (for example molten worlds have different colours based on the system they're in.)



- Planet class text now changes if your colony is a moon or not, as well as the weather.
- For e.g you can find a "Jungle Moon" or an "Arid Moon" or an "Ocean Moon".

- There are several weather effects: Rainy, Stormy, Snowy, Blizzard, Dusty, Foggy.
- Once you have researched the vanilla "Weather Control Systems" technology you can customise the weather of your worlds.
- Affecting the weather of the world will update it's class name (Tundra Fog World, Ocean Storm World, etc)
- This is purely cosmetic, has no affect or interaction with game-play/habitability rules (yes, even if you make it rain on a desert.)

- Planets now have a wilderness view - showing dominant ecological activity happening on the surface.
- Examples include "Titanic Life", "Migrating Forests", the existence of pre-sapient life, as well as high devastation or terra-forming habitat loss.
- Includes support for my other mod Dangerous Wildlife Expanded (For example "Raptor Worlds" or "Mammoth Worlds"). Alien Pets Expanded will have more (when it releases).



- You can now see how old a colony is.
- Planets now gain titles based on how long people have been living there, from "Young Worlds" to "Ancient" and something special for Fallen Empires.
- Advanced Empires gain potentially hundreds of years of a head start on you. Get the sense of being a newcomer in an already developed galaxy!

• New Worlds, an expansion to this mod made by me! The two projects were built at the same time as each-other, for each-other. And to toot my own horn here, "New Worlds" is very very good.
  
• UI Overhaul Dynamic for an excellent UI clean up. It's fully compatible, just load my mod below (after) it.
  
• Grab a building icons mod! Buildings are awesome. There are lots to choose from.
  
• Chinese translation
  
• Italian translation

• DarkUI Submod!

Thanks to the members of the Stellaris modding den for their support and listening to my ramblings in the gui channel this past month.
In particular thank you to Orrie who play-tested the mod a little and gave me compatibility advice.
