    Im trying to figure out what all the ground shapes are when making custom planets in 8.0. Anyone have a resrouce?

    I am also looking for a list of all texure ids. Kinda hard to edit them when you just are dealing with integers and you dont know what they do.

    I guess the "shapes" are what can be found in the "...Content\Stamps" folder : a series of small heightmaps, each being a definite feature. There is also another new folder in the "Content" folder called "Noise" which contains files with names starting with "fractal...". My guess is that these are some kind of fractal functions to add noise to terrain or "shapes" to make them all look different.

    To see the textures I think the old in-game terrain editor might still work (type te in the console) so this could be one way to see some textures. In the "playfields" folder there's some new stuff too, and I can see most playfields still use "terrain.ecf" file which defines textures.

    Hummel-o-War made a pdf with (most of ) the textures for terrains some time ago:

    Yes thanks!

    I'm now having issues finding the names of certain plants. Some of them seem to have changed. Any ideas?
