Incompatible mods

• Autoresume.
• Multiplayer mods like QSB and OWO. QSB actually kinda works decently as long as you don't warp.

• Use our template Unity project to create assets for use in NH, including all game scripts recovered using UtinyRipper
• Separate solar system scenes accessible via wormhole OR via the ship's new warp drive feature accessible via the ship's log
• Remove existing planets
• Create basic planets from heightmaps/texturemaps
• Stars, comets, asteroid belts, satellites
• Binary orbits
• Signalscope signals and custom frequencies
• Surface scatter: rocks, trees, etc, using in-game models, or custom ones
• Black hole / white hole pairs
• Custom dialogue and custom ship log entries for rumour mode and map mode
• Funnels and variable surface height (can be made of sand/water/lava/star)

Roadmap

• Procedural terrain generation (started)
• "Quantum" planet parameters
• Better terrain and water LOD
• Edit existing planet orbits (started)
• Implement all planet features:
  • Tornados + floating islands
  • Let any star go supernova
  • Geysers
  • Meteors
  • Pocket dimensions
