Description


Ever had a mishap involving an Ocean (or Arctic) biome and a Terraformer? Then this is the mod for you!

My friend Najja and I were in the midst of a modded Starbound playthrough together, and we encountered an issue on an ocean planet. We attempted to terraform the planet to fix the issue, but when that didn't work, we wanted to terraform it back. Only, there was no ocean terraformer. So, in true AnomNom fashion, I did it myself.

These terraformers are only intended to be used as utility items, and must be spawned in, as they cannot be crafted. They will work on non-oceanic planets, but if the planet doesn't already have an actual ocean, one will not be generated. You can, theoretically, use invisible blocks to fill in the background, and flood the world with your own ocean, but why do that when you can just go to an ocean moon?

If you're interested in another terraforming-related mod that isn't only for utility usage, check out the sister-mod Najja created, Terraformer Desert / Arid Change, which swaps the electric crystals of the Desert and Savannah terraformers for fire crystals.

@trappu
that would be a problem with the planet you're trying to terraform.

@anthony__
three years late, but done.

@competitive air breather

could it be possible to make it so planet that recieve the ocean biome produce infinite water like ocean planed does? (plz it's been 3 day i am searching a home star who just have baren/moon and a ocean pretty close together the only thing i found is baren and ice...... if you have a "mental sanity" terraformer i could really use it)

Really it'll be fine, just the background will have an underwater layer that looks strange.

it'll just ruin the planet kinda.

What if I use this on a palnet I don't like? Will it break my game or just ruin the planet?

As far as I know ocean only generates when you land on a planet with special parameter. Terraformers doesn't change this parameter.

Oh. I was just wondering.

As it is a utility item at the moment, no. If I ever find a way to make a ocean terraformer that actually adds/removes an ocean when used, I'll be sure it give it a recipe.
