About this Mod

Expands Ad Astra's planet screen functionalities.

FEATURES

Data-driven dynamic solar system rendering using .json files!
Support for moons, and other orbiting objects, around planets.
"Selected overlay" for when choosing where to land (making it easier to know what planet you selected).
Independent orbiting times, sizes and distances.
Some other thing or two I maybe forgot to include here.

The addon was made using KubeJS, but there is no need for scripting when using this.

This comes with already configured .json files for Ad Astras's two solar systems.

For more info see the wiki.
