Version 1.5.2
Version 1.5.1
Beyond Home 1.5.1
Beyond Home 1.5.0 notes:
One of the largest updates for Beyond Home involves adding support for Parallax, a shader coded from the ground up for planet surfaces. Here are the patch notes:
You MUST install Parallax for Beyond Home 1.5.0 to work
Parallax: https://github.com/Gameslinx/Tessellation/releases
- Update to 1.10
- Moved from the Squad terrain shader to Parallax
- Almost all bodies have Parallax configs
- You no longer fall through the terrain on Fury in certain conditions
- Fixed installation checker
- Fixed a typo in Rhode.cfg where the Great Basin biome had an invalid colour
Beyond Home 1.5.1 notes:
- Literally just removed some verbose logging, had to upload 1.6GB for this :(

Changes:
-
Rhode:
- Added 4 new types of tree
- Massively improved tree distribution

Performance
- The new trees have less vertices than the stock trees - better performance on Kohm and Rhode

- Shrunk biome maps that needed shrinking to reduce RAM/VRAM impact
-
Global:
- Corrected ambient lighting and atmosphere colour for all atmospheric bodies
- Added Delta-V map (Forums and Discord)
-
-
Fixes:
- All:
- Fixed rare bug where terrain textures won't appear on some planets
- Fixed atmosphere colouration without scatterer installed
- Fixed installation checker timing out too soon
- Fixed Destiny's sunflare not quite matching its surface texture
- All:
And many more things I probably forgot!
Also, wash your hands!!

The terrain portion of the changelog is tiny but it has the biggest changes on the planets. So, yeah
Well done for reading this far by the way, it's probably incredibly boring.
I spent the longest time on the terrain textures, bloody difficult they are! -
Visuals:
- Re-enabled spherical mesh for some scatterer bodies since it would cause the clouds to light up in the dark

- Created aurora textures for Gateway, Rhode, Tau, etc
-
Optimization:
- Removed unused scatters
- Removed unused textures
- Removed unused MTL files
- Reduced some biome map resolutions
- Enabled GPU Instancing for scatters, but unsure if it works or not. Better performance for low end CPUs
- Reduced layer volume for EVE clouds and increased the size instead
- Reduced some planets' scatter render distances
-
Other:
- Added installation checker. Source code on Github because SkWoD SAyS So
- Added new Skybox
