It will reset its current position in the hierarchy if you occasioanlly select a star instead of a moon by cursor.


Sorry, I don't get it. What hierarchy possition would it reset?

BTW: Nice Update smile

if you was looking moons of the second star of the second pair of the star system with 4 stars, and press on another star, the brower will open at its "root" (main star or barycenter). When you select the moon back, the browser will open at the root of this system - the main barycenter of 2 star pairs.

Than maybe just update the browser if you select another star system that does not belong to your current selected star system.
It's just a little suggest because if I looking for a new interesting planet I select randomly a star, press F2, select a new star press two times F2, select a new star press two times F2... biggrin

Screenshots time! Last few days I working on fixing some issues in the procedural landscape shaders, and added some new features.

First, canyons and rivers are back! They was "flooded" by volcano lava and does not appear in 0.972. Also, I made better mountain rage function, and use it for canyons as well (probably saving few hundred instructions).

Canyons:



New mountain rages



Mountain and canyon walls with steep slopes now have sedimentary layers texture (do you remember SE 0.84? smile )



Added some variety for volcano shapes, now some of them are conical, more resembling Earth volcanoes:



New sand dunes function, windward and leeward sides have different slopes (although it may be not visible on screenshots):







Screenshot from another planet:



Edit: OP updated.

I love how such a relatively minor detail(sedimentary layers in mountain ranges, 3D sand dunes) makes the terrain really look alive. With the sediment layers and returned canyons and rivers, will we be able to see Grand Canyon-like terrain?

I have to wonder, Is water in SE one layer around the planet or is it only where oceans generate? If water is one global layer then you could get desert canyons with lakes int he bottom which could look natural.

Yep, it is a sphere and height controls the size of the sphere.

Hmm, I know that it is this way but that would now mean that you can never have a dry canyon and a river on the same planet.
I have never thought of this. Would it be possible to create water only in certain areas?
Since we are talking about water, would it be very difficult to make the edges of the water fade out ?
