Skylands! (all planets edition)

Description
The biomes this mod adds are all minibiomes to the "atmosphere" biome, so in order to see their parallaxes aka backgrounds, you will need https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1487220181 .

This mod has no requeriments and no incompatiblities that I know of.

Ever wanted to add some fantasy to Starbound, maybe some floating islands? If so, this mod is for you.

Basically, my gas giant mod, but instead of adding a planet, I add the biomes to the 'atmosphere' layer of all planets.

The biomes are slightly changed to match normal planets (no gas giant background, no meteorite blocks, etc.), and are supposed to spawn as minibiomes of the current atmosphere biome.

I was planning to add this to the gas giant mod, but realized not everyone would like to have floating islands on every planet, and since some ppl that dont like adding new planets or something about the landable gas giats, I added this as a separate, standlone mod.

@tigerfestival1988 Just tested it and yes, but they don't share biomes at all since 2.0 is a complete overhaul. I could update the looks of the skylands to more match version 2's for the worse looking islands though.

Is this compatible with Landable Gas Giants 2?

Only a skylander of the wind element can enter this zone.

Just letting you know I've found a fix for the ocean planets, all it took was adding atmosphere and space height levels to the oceans in terrestial_worlds. It'll be included in Starbound Unofficial Patch hopefully next update so there's no more need for removing anything.

I'm only using TrueSpace and Planet generation overhaul, which is supposed to make planets bigger + more gas giant moons. So it could be either that or it's just vanilla. Since I've checked again and you're right, the clouds do spawn on the ground level of size 8 planets (and I guess smaller). The patch works at that it does though, so thanks.

Made a small patch that removes the skylands from spawning on all vanilla ocean types (ocean, toxic, artic and magma). Should fix your issue, tell me if it doesn't work @FUS

@FUS btw you sure the problem isnt bk3k's variable planet sizes? pretty sure that should be the one making ocean moons that tiny, or a similar mod that changes planet sizes. About disabling their spawn, this mod at least adds them to the default atmosphere spawn so it would be posible to make a small patch file that adds a atmosphere layer default biome and subbiome group to ocean planets specifically.

Yeah you got it, problem is that once I uninstall this mod and visit them on a fresh character the ocean surface is perfectly fine, lol.
Is there a way to disable their spawn on ocean planets specifically? I only care for the load order to not make the game look jank really.
