Auto Credit Based on Zenithspeed's VBSS Earth 1.0.1

Third closest rocky planet to the Sun, and so far the only planet in the entire universe that has known life.

Cubemap textures credit goes to user HyperPatch; although i did not end up having to use them in the final build, i used them to trace the cubemap textures, and as such this is probably pretty mobile friendly as the respective textures are not included in the planet file.

Due to performance and game crash issues, only the basic terrain features are present, and most smaller islands have been missed out.

There are currently 3 continent-based launch sites (sorry if that's racist) with a runway and pad. There's also a "central zone", which just has a basic launch pad. I'm aware the coordinates are off, i didn't notice it until it was too late.

Atmosphere height is (probably) higher than IRL for a better flight experience.

    There is a rain forest in Victoria, near Apollo bay that is a fluke of precipitation coming off the ocean that has gone uninterrupted since many millions of years, creating a rainforest that is home of the worlds Only Poisonous snail, it's purple and one of the 92 poisonousplants and animals downunder. Btw there is nothing racist unless you are speaking of ethnic diversity in a negative light or comparing and or excluding one race from others, having a fondness for a particular geology or geography is far
    from even nearing what could be considered ‘bad taste’.

    @Monkey13 i've already explained in the description, most smaller islands have not been added, as the planet brush can't go down to super miniscule sizes, however i an planning to add Hawaii, Taiwan, and maybe some other things (alongside more launch sites) in the next version

    @SocialistRepublicKarelia it's too late to change it now (since its already uploaded) but i'll take definitely add Taiwan and everything else in the next version


    and for the Chinese players: (use a translator, text has been simplified, apologies if it gives out anything offensive)
    Please do not be upset that Taiwan and other parts of this virtual recreation of our planet are not included. I am planning to add these in a future version. Thank you.

    @Zenithspeed well, I think it's a good reason, still it's a good planet,

    But still please make Taiwan if it's possible, because if you don't more people from China will ask for it, since it is very important.

    as i've also pointed out in the description, not every landmass/island or landmark is included, reason as to why is because the map is made using the planet brush which can't go down to super small values without the terrain going pretty funky, as for other mountains and stuff i simply forgot them or didn't even know they existed

    Good, now the northwest China and Mongolia are big mountains while mountains in southwest China has been totally forgotten. Also, the Ural Mountains are disappeared.
    Still, it’s cool.
