Open question to MODers

[Saturnus]

Is it possible to mod the game to remove all space and rocketry related content from game with a single tick box when starting the game? Preferably removing space as a "biome" and meteor mechanics completely as well. 

I realize this would mean we'd have no access to space age materials but I take that as a creative challenge. And it's not like we actually have access to them now due to the special raw materials needed for creating them doesn't actually exist in the game yet.

What's M.O.D. stand for?

 

Also I was under the impression that the special raw materials merely need to be collected from other planets?

 

As for removing space as a biome, blocking the top row will basically do all of that, but you'll be stuck with the rocketry content.

Nope. Some planets list them but at 0% and even if you go to planets that list them you cannot get any of them back. Not a single gram of them exist in the game without using debug or sandbox mode to spawn them in.

What would be the point of that? I'd like to restore the full map to play on, and get rid of regolith killing FPS once and for all.

Well, if all you care about is returning the world gen to basically the same before the Cosmic upgrade, then a fairly simple Custom World can be created to return the map back to what it was before:

 

Drop the attached Yaml file in the folder pictured above and you'll be able to not bother with space anymore by loading this custom map.

Cheers for that, and I can definitely live with the game this way.

And Oh My Lord, the FPS is several frames higher even at cycle 1 without having even discovered any part of the map yet. At just cycle 40 the lag is quite noticeably lower without the space biome being in the game... even when it's not even discovered yet.

I'd advice everyone who has problems with low FPS, and especially if they really don't have any interest in any of the space related content, to absolutely give it a try.

For example, if you already know now that you're probably not going to play your current base to cycle 1000 and beyond because by the time you do the game will most likely have been updated, or simply because you like me have absolutely no interest in any of the space related content, then you should most certainly use this mod as it removes most of the problems that exist in the game in one fell swoop.
