Warm nights be upon you, Star Travelers. Real Sol Textures was and still is my first proper mod, a passion project I started in 2016 that has grown into something much more in all that time. With the release of the 3.8 “Coop” update, many of the features that were from the mod have been added to the game, most notably unique textures for most of the planets in the Solar System and the ability for these to change depending on the class of these planets. Due to this, many mod features have been disabled in favor of using the official in-game version of these. That being said, I will *never* remove the names of contributors and their contributions for helping make this mod what it is today, thank you all for your help.
Rest assured, development and support of this mod will continue, and with the new features added in “Coop”, the door is open for a much more organized and feature-rich future for Real Sol Textures. Whether you’ve been here for the past seven years or just started today, thank you so much for your support and I hope you’ll stick with me on this journey.
Things this mod does:
- Adds unique textures for Ceres, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Saturn, Titan, and Pluto.
- Gives Luna gorgeous new texture.
- Adds a texture for the nuked Earth.
- Renames the asteroids in the Solar System.
- Turns Ceres and Pluto into cold barren planets.
- All Solar System versions (Primitive, Nuked, Commonwealth of Man, Void Dweller, Knights of the Toxic God, Fear the Void) will receive this treatment.
- When encountering the United Nations of Earth as the Commonwealth of Man, they will use the correct flag.
- Should Earth, Venus, or Mars’ planet class be changed, the appropriate texture will be used.
- Compatible with Gigastructural Engineering & More + Psionics Tri-Expanded!
Special thanks:

I hope you all enjoy!
