This mod adds new artwork for habitable planets to the game.

The mod uses events to change the existing planets after the game starts and does not add more planets to your game.


Uncommon and Rare Worlds Worlds have special bonuses and buildings but are less common. If you start on an Uncommon World, you gain nearby planets similar to your planet's group. While you can only have one active, up to three rare buildings start weaker but upgrade as you gain more tech. This applies to all the buildings. If a race cannot use said buildings, they don't get them (i.e., non-food races don't gain access to the food buildings).


Superhabitable Types - Wet, Dry, Cold
These worlds are larger and ideal for life to evolve, but the high gravity makes it harder for other races to live here.
Karst Types - Wet, Dry, Cold
These planets lack district space but have high mining opportunities.
Tidally-Locked Types - Wet, Dry, Cold
These planets lack district space but have improved food and energy generation.
