[UPDATED 2021] The Moon (Motion, Phases, Eclipses)

Descripción
Do you feel the sky is missing something?

How about a realistic moon complete with orbital motion, phases, and eclipses?

Features
  • Full orbital motion.
  • At a 5° inclination relative to the sun (means eclipses are rare).
  • Game brightness adjusts dynamically based on the phase or eclipse state.
  • Moves slightly slower than the sun across the sky, just like in real life.
  • Phases! See the full range of phases from New Moon to Full Moon and back again.
  • Motion is relative to Sun speed. Change speed in game options, moon moves to match.
  • Tidally locked, same side always faces the planet.
  • Physics-less, doesn't affect performance.
  • Client side only, no server impact.

Additional features
  • Support for Real Sun Size 2 Mod.
  • Support for modded planets, including the 25km Water Planet.
  • The current moon phase, and relative location, are now shown in the compass.

Notes
  • Carry torches! If there is no moon visible in the night sky, the world will be dark!
  • A full moon will brighten the nighttime environment more than usual.
  • Solar eclipses will cause the environment to get darker during totality.

Lunar eclipses require High shadow settings!

If shadows are not set to high, you will still see the environmental effects (brightness changes, etc), however the moon itself will not be obscured by the planet's shadow.

Planned
  • Adjust environmental sounds and animal behavior based on eclipse state

Saw that: Solar eclipses will cause the environment to get darker during totality.
I was disappointed to say, nothing happened during the eclipse. That it did not get darker.
It simply covered up the sun. I waited until the moon started to not block the sun and still nothing.

Works great in singleplayer, though as soon as I try to run it on a server I get:

"moon: AN ERROR OCCURRED! Please report to server admin! Admin: look for moon.log."

And moon.log reeds:
[04:39:43.690] Starting new session: moon
[04:39:43.693] Scaling moon to: 1.6
[04:39:50.061] Created moon entity successfully.

So where is the error when the log says that it is working?

DO they have the Moon mod downloaded/Enabled?

Works great for me! Just so you know when my wife joins my game it drops an error message in chat - "moon: AN ERROR OCCURRED! Please report to server admin! Admin: look for moon.log."

The game is playable but guests are unable to see the moon or it's corresponding HUD marker.

I had a Lunar Eclipse. Sadly, not total, but still nice :)

Finally saw a solar eclipse today. Nice.

Nice. It is unfortunate that Keen killed this game. So much untapped potential.

@Morpheus I have made an update which includes support for Real Sun Size 2 mod, among others.

Any chance this can be resized to work with the resized sun mod? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1662665655
