Description:

So as I was working on a different mod, I came across something interesting in the terrestrial_words.config file, namely, the "UseSecondaryEnvironmentalBiomeIndex" line, with a comment that states what it does if it were set to true.

Curious, I decided to test it out, and as it turns out, it works!

This mod isn’t complex, all it does is change UseSecondaryEnvironmentBiomeIndex in terrestrial_worlds.config to true, allowing the parallax of the planet’s surface to change based on what biome you’re in. Please note that when I say biome, I’m talking about the "major" biomes such as desert, snow, forest, etc.

Now I don’t really know why this was set to false in the first place, since I haven’t encountered any problems so far while using it, aside from the brief pauses I get whenever the parallax changes to another biome. If you do happen to encounter any problems, feel free to post about it.

A final note: I may be wrong on this, but I believe this change may only apply to newly visited planets.

EDIT: As stated in a comment below, terraformers might work a bit weirdly with this mod, so be aware of that.
