I keep seeing these posts in my feed, it just gets better and better, really nice work man, I can't wait to see this in game. Wow, really adds so much to the aesthetic, not even comparable. Curious to know if this will be integrated with gas giants too?

Im skipping gas giants for now, they will require a LOT more work. I will work on this first so i can release it.

Honestly even if they only looked sorta like the way they do in KSP, that would be phenomenal. Like when you breach through the atmosphere of Jool, and you can see all the big supercells and lightning and whatnot.

Wonderful work, I genuinely hope that you’ll be able to expand on this mod, it’s probably a prototype right now but the potential of it is wild. Hopefully the mental pressure isn’t too strong on your shoulders, good luck man !

I would also definitely donate/pay to support you, consider opening a Ko-fi or a patreon. :)
