Okay, before I begin I want to say: I'm not trying to call anyone out or insult anyone. I totally get why people like FU, and I really wanted to like it back in the day too. Like, some people talk about mods that are so extensive they're like a whole new game... in this case the mod is so extensive that it's more like 9 or 10 whole new games. So yeah, I get why people like it.

But I always felt like it was a really bad case of quantity over quality. I didn't even like to look at most of the planets, because they looked awful to me. The worst was one planet I was on that was like a stormy ocean that was so cool I immediately wanted to build there... then went exploring and found a spot where it suddenly became lava. Not even any transition or like a wall of obsidian or something, just the water is lava now. It looked so stupid that it instantly killed all enjoyment I was having and made me uninstall the mod.

And that's not even going into things like the poorly designed weather effects, like the thick fog that looked cool and atmospheric but also dropped me down to like 10 FPS every time it happened...



...BUT! All of this was several years ago, and I was thinking perhaps they've had time to polish the mod and fix a lot of these issues.

Of course, installing the mod to check it out would be a huge hassle (backing up my storage, going through my 100+ existing mods to find out what's incompatible, etc...) and I don't want to do it when I'm not even sure I want to download FU again anyway. So I wanted to ask first and find out if they fixed these things, or should I just not bother?
