I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
Does this mod have settings so you can easily adjust which heights things do/don't appear at? If so it should be quite easy to run alongside other_worlds. The problem with running multiple space mods is that they can fight for control of things like the sky box and gravity, as well as attempt to gen...
I've now switched the recipe back to requiring diamonds and tweaked the durability as well. I think this should help with balance issues, but happy to hear feedback or further suggestions.
I've not tried anything with node timers before, but if that would address the devs' concern I'll look into it. I think switching to diamonds/ adjusting number of uses is probably going to be preferable, but will see if they have more to say on it first.
stu - I did start thinking along those lines and it would make a lot of sense to me, perhaps especially below a certain depth. I'm just not sure if there is a nice way to implement it. I generally try to avoid using a lot of ABMs since I've seen too many of them bring a server to its knees a fair fe...
I'd be honoured for it to be included and would be very happy to work with the devs on any adjustments needed. I will note that I feel very strongly about game balance. I'd suggest considering making the tool more difficult to make (perhaps reverting to the original requirement of diamonds?) so that...
azekill_DIABLO - Thank you ErrorNull - I don't want to make it slower than ladders. Keep in mind there are only four nodes this works on; for anything else you still need a ladder. Also when climbing cliffs, there are usually softer nodes at the top (dirt above stone, or snow above ice) into which y...
Mountain climbing mod which adds a climbing pick tool. Use the tool to add handholds to stone, desert stone, sandstone and ice which can then be climbed.

It turns off when using noclip and inside nodes. This is because if you're flying through walls with noclip, you probably want to get a good view of cave systems, but that's really difficult against a black background.
It should then turn on again when you are inside a cave.
Hi jakab, you're teleporting too high. Regular space is 5000 to 6000. RedSky region is 6000 to 7000. 7000+ is set to "blackness", which seems to be what you're seeing here, and no asteroids will appear at this height. It's basically a reserved space where someone who knows a bit about mods...
I didn't make this one myself. A link to the original images is included in the mod if you check license information. If you spend some time searching online you should find other skyboxes like it. I didn't keep links to others I found, but there were some nice ones available under licences that all...
A simple mod that adds coloured glass panes (same functionality as xpanes). Note that this mod will only work correctly from version 0.4.15. http://oi65.tinypic.com/1430v2a.jpg Dependencies: default, dyes. Download: https://github.com/Ezhh/abripanes/archive/master.zip Source: https://github.com/Ezhh...
Hi Fixer - since people seem to want this, I will look at adding it as an optional extra that can be enabled (instead of as a replacement for the current nodes). If I don't get to it today, it might be after the holidays. EDIT - Coloured glass panes will be a separate mod. Will post a thread for it ...
Thank you all. D00Med - I was surprised I couldn't find other one way windows like this when I looked, so it had to be done. mahmutelmas06 - though I often prefer "thin" windows myself, I won't be changing these from full nodes. The original set of nodes for this mod have been present on s...
This mod adds coloured glass, patterned stained glass, glass lights, portholes and one way windows. http://i65.tinypic.com/300eiop.png More Screenshots: Coloured glass: http://i68.tinypic.com/2eojvhs.png One way windows, viewed from outside: http://i65.tinypic.com/z4bar.png One way windows, viewed f...
other_worlds has been running on Red Cat Creative since September. I made it for and tested it on Red Cat, then decided it would be a good first offering on the forums as well. :)
This is a small and simple mod which adds a black skybox for players who are underground to prevent the regular skybox (and sun) showing through the walls of large caves which have not fully loaded. This improves atmosphere and keeps caves as dark as they should be. Checks are in place so players us...
No worries about the invasion. :) It's all things for me to think about after all. I think I saw a server that does switch skybox based on time, but never looked into making something like that myself. I have another mod that uses height based switching (much simpler than this), which I'll probably ...
Well, this has height based skybox switching as part of it. When a player reaches a certain height a new skybox drops in. So we have the regular skybox with the moving sun and moon on the surface, then over a certain height the space one appears. What would you be looking for in a time based switche...
Hi GreenDiamond, thanks for the suggestions. You can adjust the height for the layers in settings.lua, so could even expand them to the top of the map if you wish, and cut out the blackness that way. I mainly included the blackness to discourage players from exploring above 7k on my own server, in c...
Hi Andrey, I'm not sure what you mean by other dimensions. This simply works above the usual map (you can adjust the height). The code is all on github if you want to check, or you can take a look on the Red Cat server if you want to see the mod in action.
Feedback I had from people testing the mod was all positive for the crystals.It was something I made sure to check because I know some people don't like more detailed models and prefer the usual blocky nodes for everything. I tested a few different things myself, and decided to include them, but if ...
This mod adds asteroid layers and height-based skybox switches to create space environments. Asteroids have ore and can include atmosphere, decorative crystals and space plants. Min/max height for the layers is adjustable. The mod comes with two space layers included (space and red sky), but anyone ...
