About this mod

Adds unique moon textures to Altahe, Amaranthine, Binthu, Chohe, Eletania, Klensal, Nepheron, and Trebin.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
In the base game, a few assets are repurposed time and time again to implement "moons" on several uncharted worlds. As an example, Binthu, Eletania, Klensal, and Ontarom all use the same texture for their moon only its orientation is changed for each planet to mask this. Altahe, Chohe, and Presrop use the same moon, and Nepheron and Rayingri also use the same texture. Now they each have a unique moon, but Ontarom, Rayingri, and Presrop retain their original moons which are now also unique since they aren't being repeated. 

I am not aware of any incompatibilities.

Example below: Chohe


Presrop

It's the same planet; I believe it is actually a touched up picture of Mars with the Valles Marineris serving as the "Great Rift" of Klendagon. 



Below are Klensal and Amaranthine, who clearly use the same fictional object for their moon with minimal tweaking to try and hide it. 





...but with my mod, NO MORE!

Now the moon of Chohe is humble Charon, the "moon" of Pluto. The brown spot on its north pole is caused by a persistent rain of "tholins" from Pluto.
Klensal's moon is the icy Triton, the largest moon of Neptune.
Amaranthine's moon is Enceladus, a small icy planetoid in orbit around Saturn, noted for its geysers, which can be seen erupting on the sunward side.  
Binthu now possesses the Jovian moon, Callisto. 
Nepheron has another Jovian moon in the form of the volcanic and ever erupting Io. 
A third Jovian moon, Ganymede, now sits in the sky over Eletania, its surface largely obscured by clouds and the planet's notable ring system. 
Altahe's companion world, Ontahe, is now the rather unique moon of Saturn, Titan, noted for its thick atmosphere. Given Altahe's notable atmosphere and mild temperatures I felt its companion should be a world with a visible atmosphere rather than a blasted rock since the two "share" their atmosphere.
Titania, the largest moon of Uranus, can be seen in double over Trebin. I had wanted to give Trebin's dual moons unique textures but could not figure out how, nor how to just give it one moon. The game files suggest that Trebin's moons were intended to have separate textures, but alas.
