  • The Ovok biome map and the science descriptions have been changed to reflect the changes to Ovok
  • Switched all textures back to DDS format
  • Made some textures smaller (gas giants, small moons) as their high resolutions only increased memory use and didn't improve the in-game quality much

  • Moved the new planets and moons out of Systems.cfg and into their own config files for increased modularity
  • Fixed the knowledge base atmosphere height of Tekto not matching the real atmosphere height
  • Removed the rotation periods for Hale and Ovok as they're tidally locked now and don't need that info
  • Tidally locked Eeloo as well, just like its inspiration Enceladus
  • Changed the distances of Eeloo, Slate and Tekto to be more similar to the relative distances in the Saturn system
  • Tweaked Tekto's atmospheric color

  • Added some science descriptions to the older planets and moons
  • Corrected some descriptions of the older planets and moons
  • Removed AVP configs and moved them to a separate download in the forum thread OP
  • Reduce the temperature multiplier for OPMs gas giants to prevent issues with DRE/FAR
