Description
THIS MOD IS NO LONGER MANINTAINED
Recently Create: Northstar has received an updated patching all of the bugs and redoing their system
Create: Orrery
A data-driven planet addon for Create: Northstar Redux, expanding your solar system with new, explorable worlds.
Orrery builds on top of Northstar's rocket and survival mechanics, introducing a flexible, data-driven framework to add custom celestial bodies. Every new world defines its own gravity, atmosphere, temperature, and resources, fully integrating with Northstar's core systems (telescopes, rockets, life support, and more).
β¨ Features
- Data-Driven Worlds: A robust PlanetData registry system allowing planets, gravity, skies, and fall-damage scaling to be configured easily.
- Telescope Alignment: Seamless integration into Northstar's telescope tracking system, including built-in fixes for sky rendering bugs.
- Curated Surface Generation: Immersive landscapes designed to feel alien. Overworld structures (villages, igloos) are cleaned out, while mod-compat resources (like AE2 meteorites) still generate.
- New Tools & Resources: Custom ore variants and tool-tier progressions mapped to the harsh environments of deep space.

π Eris
The distant, freezing dwarf planet located in the scattered disc.
