Can we get smooth planets?

Take a look at this hes's a guy that ran into the same problem your having with planets. He goes into detail about the problems he ran into and how he thought to fix it. Maybe something like this could be done here?

Auburn's noise

Just do away with the whole planet aspect and have all Starmade take place on one large, superplanet-sized planet. EDIT: this was a joke at first but then I thought about how fuccing cool that would actually be.

Recognized - Solution for round planet

Round planets have been a problem since day 1 of starmade. The dodecahedrons are horribly improvised and impractical, And the discs were unrealistic. My solution would be to render round planets as large voxel spheres, with slight deformities according to a heightmap. Then fill the space with...

Round Planets

Wow, I wish Starmade planets could be like this... SoA Tech: Round Voxel Planets

Hardpoints and planet improvements.

HARDPOINTS: A new kind of docking that basically merges the docked vessel with the mother craft. Good for making stations or modular weapon systems on ships. PLANET IMPROVEMENTS: You can make a planet load faster by instead of loading all the blocks instantly instead generate the planet from...

Ye Olde Planet Thread

If you have Earth-sized planets, you might not be able to find/fight other players in a reasonable manner, and you might have way too many resources. 1KM diameter or so might be fine. And one gigantic planet near the core of each galaxy might be cool too. Others would probably have more ideas...

Ye Olde Planet Thread

Someone should try implementing that in a traditional 3d environment. Because, I sense figuring out the movement traveled on the sphere and on the voxel grid might be a tad bit tricky. Especially the deeper you are down in the voxel grid. But I never saw a system like that in action.. So I...

Just saying ;)

I would say if you want round planits try coding it yourself because while I have not developed any games I have coded a few thing myself and I can tell from the get go that this would be challaging but really cool if someone got it to work through idk a mod that adds this that would be epic but if I were to try this I would just make a planit just something in space and by flying into it it will take you to a diffrent server but that would be a pain to code and setup and would likely require recoding the whole games planit generation system wich would be a pain to code
