📋 About This Mod
This mod makes atmosphere slowly rotating around planets.
It was one of the first mod I did in the past when shaders were available, but since NMS shaders switched to Vulkan, I couldn't find any way to recreate it. Until now.
Hopefully I eventualy found a way to recreate this subtle effect so that you can now look again at the windy rotating atmosphere of any close planet.
