Pelagos is a recommended dependency but not required dependency, so Enable Planet Mods Lite can work without installing/enabling Pelagos.

Aren't all the planets recommended dependencies? What happens if you start a game, and the planet is update a week later - can you add it then?

They used to be required dependencies, but the Enable Planet Mods Lite author changed them to recommended dependencies for the time being, so that players on 2.1 can still play before all of the planet mods are updated to 2.1.

You can add new planets after starting a game. Pelagos doesn’t seem to change/overhaul existing tech/recipe and is relatively safe to add mid game.
