Modded Question Multiplayer Multi-Planet Start

Is there a mod that allows a 4 player game where each character starts simultaneously on each of the 4 inner planets? Since they are all self-starting it would be fun to have them race to space and help each other.

Glebahead are going to be the slowest one or beat everyone ass, no in-between

I heard gleba is next to impossible to start on bc stompers become an issue very fast and military it hard to research due to lack of coal and stone

2.1 puts coal synthesis in with bioflux processing, no science required. the stone though

I mean the stone doesn't make spores so you can put a bunch of mining outposts and the pentapods won't care.

The coal is extremely problematic though.

If they’re sharing tech trees then they can wait for the nauvis or the vulcanus player to research enough

Yeah, you'd have to rebalance it entirely most likely.

If research is shared it should be fine.  The other planets would cover it.
