So i want to change background of a biome, but i don't want to unpack because that just takes too much times and is confusing. There must be a way to open that dastardly coded packed file. I'm using pleased giraffe, so do not tell me anything about terraformers. I really urgently need to know
1 thing that will work, unpack, remove (not delete) the packed.pak file, and your unpacked folder is your packed.pak, according to the game also, y r u still in pleased giraffe?
No need to do that. The unpacked folder supersedes the packed file, so any changes made there will overlap the vanilla content. However, this is incredibly dirty and unadvised to do for any reason. Just make a mod folder like you are supposed to and it will work out better. It takes like 5 minutes to do, tops. And changing the packed.pak directly is strongly illadvised.
It's just insane, the thing i'm aiming for is changing planet's background to toxic planet's background, i know it's possible by editing the .world files. It's just complicated. Theres something with dump_versioned_json. I just don't know what.
And modifying the assets would make this easier? No, not at all. All you need to do is patch the biome with the toxic parallax, but then it would be applied to all worlds, save for pre-generated ones. Thats just how it works.
I don't care if it would be at other worlds, i just really need the toxic parallax. So can you teach me how to make the toxic parallax?
