Overhauled Parallaxes

Description
Introduction
Hello, this is Pixelflame. As you can see, I have given myself a little bit of a refurbishment as you can see by the preview image. This mod changes the Toxic, Arid and Ocean biome to give them more character. The changes aren't too bad so they won't cause much lag, I hope anyway.

Changes
Ocean: Added islands to the parallax, making it seem to have more depth at the same time make more sense.
Toxic: Changed the oil rigs to full parallaxes as well as added a background piece from the Scorched city biome.
Barren: Added some modified desert pieces for more depth instead of just 1 layer for the parallax.

FAQ
Q: What does this conflict with?
A: Any mod that changes these 3 biomes in the biome ID or parallax.

Q: What do I do if I don't like a certain biome's change?
A: I may have to add standalone mod versions or you can do it yourself by deleting thier respective patches.

Q: Are there gonna be any more biomes that are going to be refurbished?
A: Maybe, if the want for a specific biome is high enough.

Bonuses
I left in some terraformers if you want them.
Toxic: terraformertoxictest
Barren: terraformerbarrentest
Ocean: terraformeroceantest

Hope you enjoy this mod and I would love to see it in some of your builds if you use it.
If you want to use this mod in a pack, want to use my assets or have feedback, let me know in the comments.

My Other Mods:
Earth City Biome And Terraformer: Adds a terraformer that allows you to make an Earth City, now with city lights.
Pixel Furnishing: A cobbled together furniture mod .
1.4 Vehicle Controllers +Craftable Rob Repairo: Vehicle controllers for 1.4 vehicles and a craftable Rob Repairo

Does this mod only affect undiscovered worlds?

Are these fps optimized? compressed and all?

@davoker Thanks for your feed back, in my opinion, the midnight planets are fine as they are but the underground parallaxes are something I may get into.

Thanks for this, I love it, I have linked it to another pair of parallax mods, "merged" correctly keeping changes hehe

I think these dark planets, where it is always night, would need a bit of your magic, I also think that underground wallpapers, especially in the core of the planets, would also need some magic *O*

If this is a concern, run them through PNGGauntlet. The result will be pixel-per-pixel identical but optimized in how it is stored so they will be smaller and require less RAM.

I've never had the performance issues with Starbound other people report, so I have no idea what real-world performance difference this makes for them. But that should be better than files as they saved from whatever image program you use.

@Yigs Yes. Although it will probably overwrite it as my mod changes the parallax file it goes to while the mods change the original parallax.

does this conflict with the parallax addon mod?

I like the look of the mod but the green island for the ocean planet bothers me..

I love the mod Pixel, these parallaxes always felt lacking to me, and you certainly fixed that.

@Tapout3436:
No it's not considering there's nothing from FU to be incompatible with.
