For me: Light issue resolved. Thank you Cryptic!

The below-mentioned error should now be fixed. Please let me know if it's still happening.

I'll be looking into this.

OH, OKAY! I thought it was just me experiencing the loss of a star and/or just light from a star! I noticed this on a world I made in February on this year (2025) with Reach, Better Sun, and Starfield skybox mods. I did some troubleshooting and found out that Reach is the cause when it's among my active mod list.

Can confirm that the sun is gone, though the light is still there

Hi, I'm running a community server with Reach as a main planet, after the SE update the Sun has vanished.

I created a plain world with only the Reach planet mod and still the sun has vanished. I wanted to let you know. If you need to contact me further please feel free.

@titanius anglesmith Far from it.

I'll be returning to this mod relatively soon. Been busy and needed a break from SE, but I'll be updating Reach in the near future.

mod is dead

i have some feedback Make the Reach be able to spawn Earthlike animals and SandWorm as a option dependencies and of course Apex stuff

>>This planet will be subject to changes and improvements in the future, and feedback is always welcome. Thanks!<< lies! lies and slander

rendering issue with some of the rocks on mountains its black and shiny. and need Apex updating.

Needs updated....

weird rendering issue with some of the rocks on mountains its black and shiny

i know a recent update hit and food thus exists. im just here to let ya know and because long live reach. i suffered its fall but i shall join its return.

Quick question, would you ever make a duel planet mod of the Forerunner home world: Ghibalb?
I say duel because theres two different versions of it, one of it being the height of their empire and the other being a toxic irradiated wasteland.

Absolutely fantastic mod!! Thank you dearly!

can i glass it

maybe*

@titanius anglesmith or it just dosent need an updated version yet

.

seems so

abandoned ?

Can we get one without the water mod being required?

What ores does this planet have?

is is possible to make this a usable with out the water mod by any chance?

@21IKEN: You have to create the water with the /wcreate command.

Very nice planet!
I'm between a savannah, some hills and woodlands.
I really like, how the sun looks from here.
Also, the boulder-density is good (for me). 🥇

Hi, I have a water mod, but when I spawn a planet, it spawns with ice instead of water, ignoring the mod. I'm running all this stuff on a dedicated server and have already put all these mods at the top of the priority list. Does someone know how to fix this issue?

Check this out, might be of value on V3!

where is the iconic mountain at

@Stanton
You can always refine stone, that's a backup option.
I would be kinda surprised if there's no actual iron ore, though.

Does iron spawn on this planet? I cannot find any.

I think it is mostly for distant rendering since even planets specifically made for use with the water mod generally have the layer of ice on their sea floor from my experience

I'd like there to be a version of it without the ice, purely for the water mod without affecting anyone else.
It always weirds me out when planets have the ocean, and then an ice floor under it. It might be for distant rendering things, though, I dunno.

No, dont remove the ice, i hate the font and look of the Water mod

The ice is there for those not using the water mod IIRC

wish the oceans were deepr then 44 meters any chance you can remove all the ice?

That sounds like something's corrupted. Try verifying the game, or deleting the affected workshop files and redownloading them.

This isn't specific to reach, however when I spawn modded planets, they spawn as perfectly spherical balls of ice or stone. Am I somehow doing something wrong or missing a mod necessary for modded planets?

NVM after a long and frustrating period of testing, i found it had nothing to do with a new mod ive downloaded, but an old one.

game keeps crashing before i can even load a new game since ive downloaded. figured it was the water mod so i unsubscribed to the water mod. only for some reason the game keeps trying to download the water mod now every time i start a new world. maybe i cant read, but i could have sworn it says it works without water mod? am i doing something wrong?

Hello, we recently encountered an error with your planet and the watermod, would you be able to make sure that it has the latest watermod update? we have been working on a fix for 3 days now and errors come back to "Planet Reach is crashing GPU* which happened when I created water on that planet. Jakara did a patch yesterday to fix the crashing BUT we can't move on till this planet is updated. our server takes days for it to be back up and running if there is a fresh install done. Once again, this is not a complaint BUT simply asking you if you can just update the world :)

cheers,

thanks for keeping the ice, i plan to use this without the water mod. the water mod is cool and all but i really get annoyed by the constant updates and bugs and how it ruins the view of planets from space.

I've found the water mod's water to be visible from orbit, but not not too much farther

That's correct- it's supposed to work with and without the water mod. Besides, without the ice, the planet would look iffy at orbital distances and beyond, as the water from the mod isn't rendered very far out.

IIRC you can also use a collector to get ice from water, so another reason the ice isnt required, though my guess is that the ice is there so it works without the water mod as well

One thing id recommend tsince thsi is being designed to use the Water Mod is change the Ice layer of the Ocean bed to sand or somthing more appropriate, Ice just shines through the water. Also make the actual continents a bit higher up to get better ocean depth. there is an arctic zone so there really is no need for the ice layer where water should be

The density of trees might be a bit high

Time to break out the Paris class and Anchor 9

how to use this world in an " empty world" or in standard system?
