Better Worlds is a collection of all the changes I have made to the game so far. It includes newer versions of Better Planets and Wild Life, with alot more stuff too!
 
ALPHA 2 brings fixes to some issues reported, along with more components for better compatability

NEW IN ALPHA 2 - MORE BIOMES
Nevada, Rainforest, Woodlands, Alien, Swamp and Alpine biomes have been mixed into the originals.  These look great, but not all the plants are interactive (no collision or resources, well worth having them though!)


**INSTALL ONLY 1 RESOURCE COMPONENT**


There are 4 areas it covers :
 
Terrain - Huge variety with the limits removed for as much planet variation as possible
Objects - Better Placement rules for everything, with more size variation and better distribution
Creatures - Maximum variety and behavior changes, with more realistic spread of species over a planet
Resources - Huge reduction in probabilities and wider distribution. Stuffs MUCH rarer and its possible for nothing of value to generate

THIS IS AN ALPHA VERSION. BACK UP YOUR SAVE!!

It has been reported the game may crash on systems with 6 or more Planets/Moons  I am looking into this, so for now, go for systems with less than 6 to ensure stability!  (update - this may not be an issue, it does not effect myself, and only a single person has reported it)
