vonBiomes Special for Patreons - 2 new Biomes, Space Stations & Ships, Bridges and more!
🕑 Added 2023-08-31 15:04:28 +0000 UTCDear Patreons, dear Friends!
It is the end of the month – and as usual, I always try to push out at least one update for you and your Mechwarrior universe around that time! After the Solaris 7 Leagues setups, which is a more repetitive task, I plunged into vonBiomes once more for a more creative break from the Solaris 7 configuration of numbers and selection fields.

This new Patreon Special Update of vonBiomes includes not only one, but two new Biomes, and many other extensions for missions:
New Biomes:
* Burned Forest
Smouldering tree stumps, burned chunks, dead lands – this new biome is a dire landscape left over by some catastrophic event.
* Red Moon
A new moon variant with a rough red rock surface, to emphasize also the brand-new moon background and the space station/spaceship system, which brings me to…
The brand new Space Station / Spaceship system
On Gray Moon, Red Moon and also Vanilla Extrasolar Moon Biomes, there are now Space Stations and even spaceships above the battlefield! There are 15 new 3D Models, which can appear randomized in combinations – and bring life to the moons. Moreover, there is always a chance of no space station or ship, which represents the lonesome corners of the Inner Sphere.
New Moon Backgrounds, more ambient Backgrounds
Another extension for the Moons! Mechwarrior 5 does not have any backgrounds for moon biomes, which now is changed – there are 4 random variants already, some with structures, some without. Furthermore, I have added more backgrounds for other biomes, mainly the new “Mega Cliffs”, huge cliff walls towering around the mission map.
Bridges
We all know the Canyons in MW5, but… Where are the Bridges? Especially because in battle situations, defending or attacking over a bridge with Mechs, well, is cool! There are now special Canyon Tiles in many Biomes with Bridges spawning over the canyons, but be aware that they can also be destroyed;)
And more fixes, adjustments, etc.
For now, the Cave Biome, which still makes troubles, if removed, so you do not have broken missions in your Career or Campaign. I have done more long-hours of testing, trying, refining… Call me stubborn, but it is to early to give up. I hope there is some news regarding this more complicated and challenge biome, perhaps good ones. Keep your fingers crossed!:)
I hope you like this new vonBiomes version 13 – lucky number!
Next week (actually tomorrow already) I will go to Italy for some late-summer holiday finally, and I will be back in the modding game mid-September with more vonMissions/Solaris7 Upgrades!
Sidenote: I did not have much time for testing – so I hope there are not some issues with the new biomes, but I don't think so:) If something is off, I will take care as soon as I am back for sure!
Sidenote II: The new Patreon Pilot Portraits are in! If you have not yet got your own, but want one, as usual, drop me a Discord Message (invite: https://discord.gg/pbPzX9eyss ) or an email at ka@vonseiten.com
Thanks for your amazing support, it makes the big difference!
All the best and cheers from Vienna,
- Jonathan
