All I want to do is basically clone Aestus, and change the top part of mountains (from 250 Altitude Up) to muddy ground where you can place an O2 generator. I've tried for about 2 hours, and cannot seem to figure it out. I've been trying to add textures from various planets, even tried making to mountains capped in snow, but I can't seem to change any of the textures. Here's what I have: Code: --- # AESTUS MP Playfield Configuration # IMPORTANT: YAML files use spaces as indentation.

Hi KnowItAllDM! Playfield textures are overridden by an .ecf file, if it is in the same folder. .ecf control splatmap based textures. A deleted ecf will be replaced automatically in a standard planet world, e.g. a planet named 'Aestus'. Better create a different planet. Then copy Aestus' playfield, but not the ecf. The playfield textures will then work and look like as on the 'classic', seed-based planets. For changing splatmap textures: - You need an ecf in the planet's folder - Open in-game console, type 'te' This is the texture editor. You have 5 textures, but up to 8 different (fixed) regions to place / mix them on the planet. The mountaintops are one of the slots with the numbers on the bottom. A number there means, that this amount of texture is mixed in at that spot. '1.0' is full strength. (Don't know, if textures still keep their special properties, there... like water generation) Have fun building worlds!
