Lore
Kharak (not be mistaken with the planet from Homeworld) is a dying desert planet orbiting around Tomera star. It was discovered in 2097 by deep space explorers looking for a new home. It was named after a planet from a computer game because it's characteristics are fairly similar. 5/6 of the planet is covered by desert highlands with little to no atmosphere. Only Torin Valley is deep enough to have an atmosphere thick enough to sustain life. The origins of the valley is unknown but most probably it was formed by techtonic movements generated by it's long lost moon. Around 10 towns were built on the surface before almost all of them got destroyed in the Telvinian War in 2102. The largest one was Cobalt Town situated by Cobalt Lake, the only source of water on the planet.

If SEToolbox crashes during resizing
Navigate to your Steam library, go to "steamapps > workshop > content" and copy the folder named "1731305566" to your local Mod folder which can be found at "#userfolder#/AppData/Roaming/SpaceEngineers/". When you create the world, make sure you add the offline version (1731305566), then save it and try to edit it with SEToolbox. After that you can change it back to the online version.

Disclaimer
This planet is not a replica of the planet Kharak from Homeland, it was just inspired by it. The planet was made mainly for the HydrogenWars server. Future updates may change characteristics of the planet based on demand of the server community.

mmm, not a good sign when the planet loads in without any of it's features.

the entire planet is just a giant smooth ball of stone when i spawn it in

welp, i do have some mixed feeling for this, without the SEToolBox you can still create the planet with 120km and it does work without issue so far, when you create it with the star system creation you can make it bigger than 120km but when the planet basically pops out from the static planet view well that's scary as hell

...and parts 2 & 3 of 'The Joker' are also live on YT.

Hey Entersprite, will you ever recreate Hiigara?
Soulfood Jan 12, 2024 @ 6:45pm 
Hi Entersprite, I add my thanks for this unique planet!
I'm using it in a SE video I'm making. Here's part one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1MRIIGKOm4 - I'm looking forward to part two when we actually get down on the surface!

Never mind, I was on the raised part of the planet. Didn't realize it.

I spawned this in using admin tools and atmospheric thrusters wont work despite there being an atmosphere on the planet.

You can edit gravity in the same file PlanetGenerationDefinition just inside that file and press CTRL F and look for atmosphere
OGatoAJato Jul 21, 2023 @ 2:12pm 
Ores are listed inside PlanetGenerationDefinitions - Not easy to explain how it works but they are there. Kharak has a single lake which is also a oasis with atmosphere. The rest of the planet does not contain atmosphere. It has hudge cracks and even roads, it's a masterpiece. It's very unique planet. I got some errors at EarthFarClouds but the planet work anyways.
