Small Space Age

Each planet's terrain generation is changed to a projection onto hyperbolic space (the Poincaré disk). The projection matches the style of the MC Escher image below. The settings include a spherical mode that alternatively projects the planet onto a surface of a sphere.

This mod likely requires Infinite Resources to be playable, but this is kept as an optional dependency in case players have another solution. Without any supplementary mods, the tiny resource patch sizes are likely to exhaust quickly; all terrain features are heavily compressed.

No Space Platforms also used to be included in this mod by default to make the playtime shorter, but now it is optional.


Compatibility

This mod is not compatible with modded planets that rely on scripted positions far from 0, 0.

Apart from that, it is automatically compatible.
