    Is there a mod that adds more stuff(settlements, dungeons, buildings etc.) to the planets? I feel like when I play starbound most of my time is spent just walking across empty planetsides. I seem to only ever find one or two things on each planet even the bigger ones.

    I have Dungeoneer Dungeons but I think that just adds in new things to find and it doesn't change the rate at which they spawn. I think it would be nice if there were 2-3 times more things to discover on a planet.

    I dunno if there is one, but here's something untested. Put this in a scratch mod as worldgen.config:
    Code:
    {
        "__merge" : [],
        "planetsizes" : {
            "tiny" : {
                "surfaceDungeonCount" : 2
            },
            "small" : {
                "surfaceDungeonCount" : 4
            },
            "large" : {
                "surfaceDungeonCount" : 8
            },
            "verylarge" : {
                "surfaceDungeonCount" : 16
            },
            "huge" : {
                "surfaceDungeonCount" : 32
            }
        }
    }
    You might want to tweak the numbers.
    A scratch mod is just a folder in \mods with a bullshit .modinfo file for personal experimentation. Nothing to it.

    Hmm, well I didn't get to really test it before I went out to work but it did load without crashing and I found a avian airship pretty quickly after visiting a new small planet. Thank you so much this will really add quite a lot to the game. I am surprised no one has done this yet. I did double the numbers except for the biggest planet. Maybe this should be released as a mod on here if it works? I don't want to take credit for it or anything but people may be interested in using it. What do you think?

    I don't think much at the moment.

    Haha, well at least you can think enough to get out this awesome code, thanks! I'll report back after some testing tonight when I get home.

    On second thought maybe it isn't working. That avian airship was the only thing on the planet it seems.

    Bump! No one is working on this? I feel this is a good idea for a mod. More stuff to discover. No?
