Thanks StarPrime for allowing me to use their Enterprise model in the trailer video.
Thanks ShadeStuff for creating all the textures, these nebula wouldn't look as good as they do if it weren't for him.

Any ETA on resource collection feature?

I wonder if fog weather is possible and with customizable color. To create a nebula in which it is difficult to see.

@Anarsim sounds insane what sort of scale/mods are you using haha

Is there any way you could increase the max size to a few million km instead of 1500km? Would love to use these on my server, but they're too small to even be seen when traveling from one solar system to another (my solar systems are typically about 70 light seconds apart or about 21million+ km). Real nebula typically encompass multiple stars and span for many light years, but for space engineers if you could get them to be at least 7.5million km they could be used to create some fun obstacles to avoid or go through while travelling to other star systems plus we could then hide planets or stars inside easily

This is an awesome mod and the release video is even cooler. Would you mind if i added to your release video and used it for ad and intro video to my server.

Unfortunately when I add this mod it doesnt seem to like many of the other mods, since adding it crashes a bunch. But it DOES work otherwise. This is literally amazing once you dig in.

You can make your planet radioactive in the sun! Idk if I can do it permanently but this is absolutely awesome.
