Regarding one of the Yogscast's videos about Galacticraft

[OpelSpeedster]

I'm not sure if everyone watched them, but during the Yogscast's video review about Galacticraft(both Moon and Mars), there were way more planets and moons to be acessed at the Planet Selection GUI, plus Mars' sky was red and Saturn appeared on it.

Can anyone explain how they got those features? Did they coded it in by themselves or it is part of a modpack?

Here's the video for those who haven't watched it:

It was a VERY buggy beta micdoodle8 gave to them to merely test and show off what the mod would come too, there is no official version with it

Oh. Dangit, I really liked the red Mars sky and I thought that there was a modpack with the planets included(I expected them to be buggy, though).

You can have it as well. You just gotta play Minecraft 1.4.7.

I didn't said the older textures were better, just saying that this beta the Yogscast used seemed to have more interesting features. I don't like the Grass 'n' Dirt textures used at Mars and the Moon, but I liked the red sky.

I don't get why there's no atmosphere on the new mars
Just Black sky & stars

Agreed. It makes it look like Mars has eternal night, or that it is too far away from the Sun. Like some other user said, it's not Pluto, Mars has a day atmosphere just like Earth, except it's orange instead of blue.

I hope micdoodle adds a orange sky to mars, because it DOES have a sky, it looks even more dead than it already is with a black moon sky

I also hope that he really adds the sky as orange, and not reddish like the beta was.

Just for curiosity, but where's the download link for said beta?

 

[Flashy-3]

Thread is"Galacticaft with planets" but the installation for said beta is very complicated plus, micdoodle could possibly ban you

Why ban me? Is it prohibited to use that beta version?

 

[OpelSpeedster]

Only if you try distributing it to 1000's of people. Your fine using it just dont go advertising.

Oh. Well, I wouldn't do such a thing, anyways.

yeah your right, it gives a more mars feeling.

As far as I know, there never was any exclusive 'betas' or 'alphas' provided by micdoodle to Yogscast. It was actually just an assembly of the public source code, which houses a lot of early implementations of features that's even too unstable for a dev build (or atleast that's my guess).

Back then Mars did indeed feature an visible atmosphere. I'm not sure why this isn't the case right now, but perhaps it's actually caused by a technical issue (as opposed to deliberately removed)? I guess mic is the only one who knows. I also have a fancy of the terrain seen in the YogLabs video. It's quite reminiscent of one type of chaos terrain actually found on Mars.

honestly, there needs to be a nice bright rust orange sky, then mars, would be perfect

That is a topic that has been beaten to death. Tough to say where GC is going.
